When I take my children out to eat - which is very rare - I have to check the ingredients as best as I can.
Ketchup - it can have Red 40 dye in it to make it look pretty.
Barbeque Sauce - also can have it.
Drinks - can also have it.
I just got my children Slotchky's Deli pizza's, a sugar cookie, and a Lemon-aide drink.
The sauce could have had dyes in it, the sugar cookies - another possibility, or maybe it was the Lemon-aide (could have had a yellow-dye which has a very similar chemical structure like Red-40.) Whatever the case, I think my six-year old was affected. After eating his dinner he had the look on his face and he was pretty irrational and angry. He swatted at me with his fists, but still he is only six and so he can't get me yet. I hope that as he grows his body will become more immune to these dyes. I would hate to have a dye-induced behavior when he is a teenager. I think I will stay away from this Deli. I tried to find the ingredient list online, but I couldn't find one. If anyone has information about this Deli, please leave a comment.
This blog is to advocate for children who seem to have behavior problems, but are really reacting to the artificial dyes found in foods and medicines. It is to help others to be more aware of how food affects your mood. Children and adults can suddenly become irritable, have headaches, and even become angry or aggressive after ingesting synthetic artificial dyes. I recommend avoiding all artificial colors. This blog was created to help you find the information you need.

My son has been off from dyes for 1 month today. His attitude toward his sister has greatly improved, his tics have ceased, his compulsive behavior about the way his clothes fit and feel has improved. I am still so new to a dye-free lifestyle but I do know that way too many foods EVERYWHERE include those nasty pointless dyes. Its sad.
ReplyDeleteI started to avoid all dyes back in May.....my migraines disappeared...GO FIGURE!
