MEET PETROLEUM. Did you know? Petroleum is used in the artificial #food #dyes found in most packaged foods, such as fruit cocktail, maraschino cherries, cherry pie, cake mix, ice cream, candy, bakery products, American cheese, macaroni and cheese, cereals, sports drinks, and children’s medications. Reading the label: Avoid products containing Red #40, Blue #1, Blue #2, Citrus red #1, Green #3, Yellow #5, Yellow #6, Red #2, Red #3 (Caramel coloring), Brown HT, Orange B, Bixin, Norbixin, and Annatto. The danger: Banned in Norway, Finland, Austria, France, and the United Kingdom, these artificial dyes have been linked to #brain, bladder, #kidney and #thyroid #cancer, #nerve-cell deterioration, chromosome, nerve and cell #damage, #asthma, and #hyperactivity among others.
