How do you know they aren't affected?

If people don't seem to be affected (no diagnosis of ill effects) they probably aren't affected.

We go as much as we can with unprocessed foods and I definitely know how to cook. My kitchen is something of a science lab putting healthy meals on the table for a wide variety of dietary needs. But I still want the poisons out of our food supply. For instance cereal companies make one product for Europe that requires the questionable substances be omitted and another for the USA that has all kinds of crap in it. Simply requiring them to make the same product for us as they do for Europe would be a good start.

Just go with the organics. Costs more but now you're sure. Also, I believe that enough good dietary habits will overcome the few bad ones that we have.

Superstitious Attitude Toward Nature

Natural food wasn't designed to be what's best for human consumption. "Additives" are chemicals, but so are what we eat and what makes up the human body's physiology. We weren't provided with some sacred structure that it would be heresy to add anything to.

Actually, we do have a 'sacred structure' for health. Read about it in your Bible (here a little, there a little).

I doubt anybody has ever had a diagnosis of Yellow Dye #5. Their diagnosis is always one of the mild to severe medical conditions the substances has been linked to, however inconclusively. Maybe it isn't the culprit that some think it is, but I am happy that we will have somebody in government who is focused on the gold standard of science as to what the government should be condoning in our food/pharmaceutical supply.

And insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. And when that insanity includes increasing what has produced poor or really bad consequences expecting a different result, it becomes certifiable or else some other nefarious dynamic is in play.

I prefer that a trusted doctor that I pay for his/her services decide what is in my best interest to be healthier. I do not trust partisan government to dictate what that doctor must prescribe for me or otherwise presume to know what is best for me. And I certainly resent a massive bureaucracy draining massive resources from the people and burying them under mountains of paperwork instead of delivering actual healthcare..

We pay doctors to return us to that physical state where we are neither sick nor healthy, but we can feel ok and be productive.

As I noted earlier the gold standard in this regard is a tissue biopsy to identify suspected chemical causes of diseases.

I had an acquaintBXW in the grocery business who told me in confidence that 'organic' foods are usually no different than any other foods you buy in the grocery store. In his store they got in a shipment of oranges, for instance, and just divided them up with 2/3rds put in the regular grocery section and 1/3 designated as 'organic' at an inflated price.

Now maybe other, even most, stores are more ethical than that but we have no way of knowing other than whatever label is put on something.

No tissue biopsy is going to result in detection of Yellow Dye #5.

True, the organics aren't necessarily more nutritious or tasty, just more chemical free.

The summary says it all.

Summary​

Tartrazine is approved for use in the U.S. and can be found in several food and personal care products. While some studies suggest it may have health effects on animals and humans, more research is needed. Ask your healthcare provider for more information if you have concerns about yellow #5 dyes and food colorings.

We can hope so. But how do you know?

It says something that is contradicted by most sources.

Just select foods that don't have artificial colors. Then it becomes a non-issue. Also, make sure that your immune system is healthy.

How many people do that? How many people feel the crap to their kids because it is FDA approved? Few people have the time or inclination to study dietary issues on their own but trust their government to keep the food supply safe.

The government should NOT be approving substances that are harmful to us.

True, it's the parent's responsibility to educate themselves about diet and nutrition. The government often adjudicates in favor of the economy over the general well-being of the citizens.
