🚨 FDA Officials Admit the U.S. is 'Several Decades Behind' Europe in Studying Food Dye Safety, Despite Knowing They Cause Cancer in Lab Animals
"At FDA we have not evaluated the safety of Red 40 in over a decade ... Red 3 is actually known to be cancerous in laboratory animals ... We don't have data in humans that [Red] 3 causes cancer ... You have to study a large number of people over a long period of time ... We are several decades behind Europeans and our Canadian counterparts because they have legal mandates to reevaluate [food] chemicals."

The question is not in the dyes, they can be produced from vegetables, fruits and flowers
The question should be
"Why are there chemicals in the food supply?"
