Is your family dying for color? We're diving into the world of RED dyes in our food supply. Did you know that Red Dye #3 has been linked to cancer in lab rats? And while there was a recent FDA ban on Red Dye #3, manufacturers have until January 2027 to eliminate it—and drug manufacturers have until 2028! That's years of continued exposure. And then there's Red Dye #40 or FD&C Red No. 40, a synthetic dye made from petroleum! And it's everywhere: dairy, sweets, cereal, juice, soda, and even cosmetics. The FDA approved it back in 1971, but it's been linked to hyperactivity in children, ADHD, and allergic reactions.

She helps others reclaim their health through natural remedies, functional medicine, and spiritual restoration. Amy is the author of Back to the Herbal Basics and hosts her own podcast.
