If you are looking for an easier way to find out if the food that you want to buy has artificial colors in it and would like to find alternative foods that have healthier ingredients, I recommend the Fooducate app. With this app, you can scan the barcode of any food and find out what is really hiding in the ingredient list. It gives each food a grade and a list of harmful ingredients (if any) that it contains. For anyone who is new to avoiding artificial dyes, this app could be exactly what you need to make the right choices. I am going to recommend this to everyone! Way to go Fooducate!!! Below is a link to their site and it shows what you will find on the new app. If you have an iPod touch, iPad or an Android OS version 2.2 and up, you can find it in the app market place by the search term Fooducate. It is also free at this time, so what are you waiting for? Get on your phone and press download. :)

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.

Food Can Still Be Colorful without Synthetic Food dyes and lakes like Red Dye 40
I made the frosting with a Betty Crocker recipe and then made my own color using BADIA Ground Annato Achiote (found in the spice section of any grocery store.) The instructions for making the dye is actually on the back of the label! It says, "Heat one cup of vegetable oil with 1/2 a cup of Annato Seed. Strain oil (you can use a coffee filter) and use the colored oil in desired amount, to add color to your favorite dishes."
My son chose these colors.
You should check out Itty Bitty Bistro: Homemade Food Dyes ! She made some beautifully colored cupcakes and her family is also staying away from all artificial colors and has seen a remarkable difference! Spread the good news and please leave a comment if you would like me see what you have made with natural colors! I would love to post more colorful foods and spread the links!
