Toxic Lunch Box Alert
What is in food dye?
This is a toxic lunch box alert for parents that might not know this. The names of popular food dyes have changed. Food coloring consists of chemicals used to add color to food. Food coloring (dye) is often added to processed foods, drinks, and condiments. They are used to maintain or improve the appearance of the food.
Manufacturers usually add dye for the following reasons:
- To add color to colorless foods
- To enhance colors
- To avoid color loss due to environmental elements
- To provide consistency when there are variations in the coloring of the food
The FDA regulates color additives to ensure that they are safe for human consumption. Regulation also helps ensure that foods with coloring are accurately labeled so that consumers know what they are eating. The FDA studies the composition of it and how much is consumed and notes any health effects and safety factors that need to be observed. Once the food dye is approved, the FDA determines an appropriate level of use for that additive. The FDA only allows an additive to be approved if there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to consumers.
Can food dye cause hyperactivity?
A study of nearly 300 children by the United Kingdom’s Food Standards Agency in 2007 showed that the consumption of foods containing dyes could increase hyperactive behavior in children. In the study of 3-, 8- and 9-year-olds, children were given three different types of beverages to drink. Their behavior was evaluated by teachers and parents.
One of the drink mixtures contained artificial food colorings, including:
- Sunset yellow (E110)
- Carmoisine (E122)
- Tartrazine (E102)
- Ponceau 4R (E124)
It also contained the preservative sodium benzoate. The second drink mixture included:
Carmoisine
Quinoline yellow (E104)
Allura red (E129)
Sunset yellow
My suggestion? Read all of the packaged items marketed to children very carefully and opt for snacks that are all natural and do not contain any artificial food dyes.
Make Your Kids Dairy Free Milk At Home With the Almond Cow
Bad Breakfast Cereals
Check this out! Other countries that have banned BHT include Japan and some parts of Europe, which has led to the ban of foods like Wheat Thins and Frosted Flakes. My first thought is “c’mon bro – not the Frosted Flakes.” But it’s true. The list of products that contain this chemical is long and includes many of our childhood favorites like St Ives and Neutrogena skin products. Take a look for yourself. This is what gets kids breakfast cereals banned.
Better Breakfast Cereal
If I’m being completely honest, my mom wasn’t a big fan of cereal for breakfast as a regular practice to begin with. As time goes on I realize cereal for breakfast wasn’t exactly the best practice and now I know I could have asked for much better.
That being said, IT’S TIME to do better — and that means changing out those chemical cereals for this healthy version. Some children can be a little particular about new foods. But puffed Kamut cereal is everything we love without all of the things we don’t need. You even get the colored milk at the end!
Make this powerhouse milk and cereal alternative and let me know how it goes.
Fruity Pebbles Milk
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Immunity Support Powder
- 3 frozen Strawberries
- 1/2 cup freeze dried Strawberries
- 1/2 cup Hemp Seeds
- 1 tbsp Sea Moss gel
- 32 oz Alkanatur Water
- 1 tbsp Agave
- 1 pinch Celtic Sea Salt
Directions:
- Add Alkanatur Water to the base of the Almond Cow with Agave and stir well.
- Add the other ingredients to the Almond Cow cup and attach to the blades.
- Run the Almond Cow for 2 cycles to ensure thorough blending.
- Store in a glass container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
- Add this milk to a bowl of Kamut Puff cereal with fresh or freeze dried fruit and serve!
Don’t Suffer from Dehydration:
Dehydration can also cause sodium and sugar cravings, as the body may mistake thirst for hunger. Be sure to drink better water with the Alkanatur.
Ultra Processed Foods (UPFs) are the progress-stopping substances that are sprinkled throughout our lives in the form of good family fun, convenience or holiday treats. This means it’s a fight to get the full spectrum of daily essential minerals through the foods we eat. You’d need to calculate and monitor every bite, all the time, and tally your score at the end of each day. Nobody has time for that.
Or, you could just take CELL SUPPORT, IMMUNITY SUPPORT and SEA MOSS daily.
