"RFK Jr.'s Insights on Food Dyes: The Good, the Bad, and the Controversial"

In recent weeks, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has claimed “very strong studies” connect food dyes to cancer and ADHD. While some states legislate against these additives, experts argue Kennedy exaggerates their impact. The FDA states no solid evidence links food dyes to cancer in humans. Research indicates potential behavioral effects in sensitive children, but opinions vary on the strength of this evidence. Advocates push for stricter regulations, asserting synthetic dyes serve no nutritional purpose.
