Okie dokie... Red food dye is out of my diet... FOREVER ... or uh as much as humanly possible.. geez... The only Red dyes thats are allowed to be used in food are #3 and #40... holy moly both of those dyes are used as pesticides.. and #3 contains petroleum..
PETROLEUM is used in paint.. and its toxicity level is pretty high...

Petroleum--
Harmful or fatal if swallowed..
Combustible..
Irritating to skin and eyes...
If swallowed, do not induce vomitting..
Eye contact -rinse 15 minutes..

YaY...

Red Food Dye causes children to run wild and go crazy.. and for adults? it tends to make them tired.. and have killer migrane head aches..

FDA was gonna band red food dye #3 and #40 from the market.. but nooo.. The Fruit cocktail companies threw a fit.. Without the cherries in there fruit cocktails... Saaaaales would go down.. oooh noo...so dont eat those nasty processed cherries in fruit cocktails.. or the ones in your shirley temples..
