Have you ever seen a blue raspberry? Here it is, the “sour-sational raspberry,” a soft drink with no raspberries but FD&C Blue #1 aniline food dye in it instead. Look for yourself: This is another example of the freakish marketing ideas used by the food manufacturers to trick you and your children into buying their wasteful […]

Twizzlers: A twisted rainbow of dyes

Twizzlers: A twisted rainbow of dyes

[ 3 ] May 22, 2011 |

I do not believe that artificial food colors, artificial flavors, mineral oil and sulfur dioxide (“to maintain freshness”) were the ingredients of the original Yang & Smylie licorice candy.

Well, if you think that Twizzlers were designed only to be eaten, think again. In fact some people eat them. Others do handcraft: “With the pull and […]

How Much Food Dyes are in Powerade?

[ 12 ] May 13, 2011 |

One explanation is that they do not read the ingredient lists or perhaps do not understand what some ingredients can do to their bodies. On the other hand, this is […]

What is inside the candy shell? “Dark Chocolate Inside A Colorful Candy Shell” is what you read on every M & M’s container. Very good, but many customers would like to know what is inside the candy shell too! Here is what and how the DyeDiet has discovered. The candies were separated by colors, weighted […]

Natural vs Artificial

Natural vs Artificial

[ 2 ] May 5, 2011 |

We often see the words like  “all natural”, “100% natural”, natural color”, “natural flavor”, “natural ingredients” and “natural anti-oxidants” as the indications of healthy foods.

Would Jesus enjoy eating the food dyes? While Easter is coming closer I keep watching people wiping out egg-shaped candies from Wal-Mart aisles. This has pushed me to write an emergent article explaining to the US public what they actually get inside the funny containers. Fruit Punch Flip-Flop Lollipop, DDRS ~ 73 What this made in […]
