Photo of Webkinz for sale in Red Dye Free Store! Your child can have everything and more without the harmful artificial dyes that are being consumed so abundantly today. Do the ingredients in your Easter candy look something like this? “Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel Oil and/or Palm Oil), Whey, Cocoa, Lactose, Skim Milk, Soy Lecithin, Vanillin, Artificial Colors (Blue #1, Blue #2, Red #40, Yellow #5, Yellow #6 & Red #3). May contain Peanuts/Nuts.” Look at all of the artificial colors in just one Palmer Bunny! Artificial colors such as these are derived from petroleum- a coal tar. Some children are very sensitive to these dyes. Some children may experience hives, migraines, stomach aches, and hyper-activity (to name a few). Some children are very sensitive to red dye 40 and it effects their behavior drastically and they become defiant and even belligerent. It is important that parents are aware because staying away from these dyes can change their relationship with their child who is sensitive to the dyes and they can enjoy who they really are.
I wish everyone a very Happy Easter and may it be very Happy! :)

ReplyDeleteDear Mom Said,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment! Yes, I created the Red Dye Free Store so others could find alternatives and maybe realize that it is not very hard to find these items in the market. Holidays always bring up images of brightly colored, decorated deserts and treats, but you can find other treats with real food ingredients that are just as decorative. I like your blog! I'm so glad and thankful that others are sharing the news! I look forward to reading more of yours!
