Listen "Red Dye #3: The Ban That Changes Nothing (Yet) and How Food Dyes Effect Children's Behavior ✨99"
Episode Synopsis
Your child's "behavioral issues" might actually be a reaction to what's hiding in their food.As an environmental toxins attorney turned clean living coach, I've witnessed countless families transform their children's lives by simply removing artificial food dyes from their diet. The FDA's recent ban on Red Dye No. 3 isn't just about cancer risks - it's about acknowledging decades of evidence showing how these petroleum-based chemicals affect our children's behavior, emotions, and development.Parents are often dismissed, judged, or made to feel crazy for connecting their children's emotional regulation issues to food dyes. But the reality is stark: children are being misdiagnosed, medicated, and labeled as "difficult" when they're actually having severe reactions to artificial colors hidden in everything from medication to toothpaste.In this episode, I share practical steps for identifying food dye sensitivity, navigating social situations, and advocating for your child. Whether you're dealing with aggression, emotional outbursts, or just curious about the impact of food dyes, you'll learn how to create positive change through informed choices and strategic elimination.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • How to identify if your child has a sensitivity to food dyes • The surprising everyday products that contain artificial food coloring • Step-by-step guide for eliminating dyes from your child's diet • Tips for educating family, friends, and teachers about food dye sensitivity • Practical ways to advocate for systemic change in schools and communitiesRead the Show NotesIf you enjoyed this week's episode, please: Leave a positive review or rating wherever you listen Shop toxin free products on my Toxin Free Shopping Guide Download your free 25 Toxins to Avoid Post a screenshot, share what you loved, and tag me on Instagram @wendy_toxinfreeish Want to ask me a question to get answered on the podcast?
