[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 163014, member: 3419"] We've long held that red dyes in particular, and other colors cause issues in our son. Like the dental amalgrams, they cause problems for a subpopulation, but the fact is, over the long term, say, 70 yrs, chemicals add up and cause cancer in everyone. One pkg of M&Ms won't kill you ... today. But combine it with-the plastic particles released from bottled water, plastic wraps that go in the microwave, silver mercury fillings, preservatives in hot dogs, artificial hormones, etc., and you've made your body work more than overtime and increased your chances of cancer immensely. We also do not use MSG on our Chinese foods. I really don't care if the colors are bright. I'd rather go home with-o a roaring headache. There is SO much stuff out there that you really have to be your own advocate. Also, we are way behind other countries because, as capitalists, we are loathe to punish corporations by using the law; we prefer to publicize and let the public decide (buyer beware). But the public has a very short memory and time and again, we will stop buying something, only to forget a cpl mo's later and start buying it again as though nothing happened. So countries with-more hardline gov't approaches are more successful at banning thinkg with-o a huge public outcry. [/QUOTE]
