Thanks for stopping by! It is always interesting for me to hear from adults who notice a difference in themselves when consuming products with dye. I have tried to pay attention to my body on the occasion’s that I’ve had it and so far I’ve never noticed any type of reaction but I don’t doubt that it affects my body anyway.

If you’re a licorice lover there are some great dye free licorices available in both black licorice and raspberry. :)

I think I’ve narrowed it down to Red 40 and Red 3 (I was getting the Red 3 from Slim-Fast Strawberries and Cream flavor.)

I still forget! A couple hours I had a pack of Twizzlers (Red 40) and now I feel all hyper and frantic.

These are just some of what I have read out there. The parents stories of the hell their children have gone thru is heartbreaking. I talk to numerous parents about this and I always say “don’t believe me look it up yourself”. Recently I witnessed a young mother in a doctor’s office dealing with her son, he was playing quietly and sweetly then all of a sudden he flips out. She ended up having to physically hold him down so he would not hurt her or himself. I told her she wasn’t alone and I told her my story of myself my son and my brother she looked at me with tears in her eyes. My heart broke for her and her son. I told her to look at her son who was quietly watching TV and asking her a question as if nothing had ever happened and I told her she has a good boy a very good boy to please look into what I was telling her, and then we got interrupted because the nurse called them in. I can only pray she will look into it. Meanwhile two other parents were listening to our conversation and started asking a lot of questions. It was inspiring, I am a spiritual woman and believe God gives us wisdom when and where we need it and I can only believe he is making sure I am telling people more and more about this. The professor that was mentioned above is probably a good person and very intelligent BUT I also believe people need to use their own common sense and not change their knowledge to fit what the world says. These people have seen what affects this red#40 has on them and their children and for someone to use their training and intelligence to try to make them disbelieve what is so obvious is irresponsible and manipulating.
