More than 30 years ago the Food and Drug Administration told the cosmetics industry that it could no longer use an artificial color called FD&C Red No. 3, also known as Red Dye No. 3 and Red Dye 3. That’s because high doses of it had been found to cause cancer in animals.
In September 2023 the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a food and health watchdog group, sent a petition to the FDA urging the agency to prohibit Red Dye No. 3 in food, dietary supplements, and ingested drugs. Consumer Reports signed it, along with 20 other advocacy groups and three individuals.
Red No. 3 dye, also known as erythrosine, is a synthetic dye derived from petroleum.
It’s the dosing that gets a person, while the elephant in the room that’s even worse is the massive quantities of sugar it’s mixed into that cancer feeds on. Pray over your food and thank God for His abundant provision, remembering “...and if you drink any deadly poison it will in no way harm you.”
