Every time I think of the time I was born and grew up I feel sick to my stomach ... I think I ate more chemicals, dyes, sugar and saturated fats that I did regular old food. It makes me sick, but infuriates me as well. And the people who did this made the money, sealed the food system in their favor, bribed the politicians, so we're stuck with it. This is so disgusting.

The last sentence was brilliant, have been saying the same thing for years.

I love watching these videos. Dr. Greger. Not only I learn, but I always get a good laugh. You have a great sense of humor! love it! Thanks!!!

This is great, thank you! Would love to see a video regarding adult onset attention deficit disorder. That is, if there are any good studies on that.

Touché

Indeed Dr. G! Keep it coming because this is exactly the great stuff people need to hear.

Excellent as always! Thanks

I’m trying to go out my way to avoid any food products that have synthetic dyes, caramel color, HFCS, BVO, inflammatory seed oils, Sodium Nitrite, BHA, BHT, THBQ, Potassium Bromate, and other bad ingredients. The more you avoid ultra processed foods the longer and healthier you live.

Talk about government bureaucracy being owned by industry. What a crock. It's criminal. Write your rep.

Muy buena informacion, ojala y la pudieran traducir al ESPAÑOL. Saludos y Gracias.

I'm in love with you becuse what you do is so creative as well as interesting. Thank you.

Thank you

I can't share this on FB it says it's a malicious link. :(

Thanks so much for the upload

Love the way Dr Greger speaks lol

Stupendo video!,ne avevo gia sentito parlare da Franco Berrino

GOOD LETS GET RID OF THEM. I cant even eat certain candies like skittles, or anything with yellow 5 without getting a migraine.

Oh, and you can stabilise some of the less stable dyes with additional antioxidants, usually vitamin C works.

I prefer my mint ice cream white, actually.

With my small kitchen, buying is a better option for me but thanks for the tips.

True, hey are already looking great, no need to add more colors! The yellow in a mango fruit is gorgeous and appetizing.

Well said Dr. Greger.

That "recommended" trial at the end is worse than useless. 1) No blinding. (Fixable.) 2) Designed to produce bias. (Hey, I'm testing likely bad stuff, I would expect the bad result.) 3) Too short. 4) No consent.The actual high dose effects may be permanent. 5) Done in a place without correct medical equipment. What if anaphylactic reaction happens to one of the dyes? 7) What kind of testing? Fatigue can be a confounder. Seriously, you have to be insane to do it to your own child.

*This doctor is a legend!* 😁

I love his sense of humor

Holy crap yellow # 5!

im referring to processed food no nutrition products like mac& cheese and how they "photo shop " it with chemicals.

yeah

Behind all the colors is nothing but toxic sludge.

CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT! CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT!!!

Hi

This is why I love you, Dr. Greger.... I think I'm just going to eat raw whole foods. To me thats the only way to avoid a bunch of crappy man-made "foods". I'm just done hearing about nasty crap in my food. I'm heading towards raw food vegan!!

I had this issue as a child and my mum kept me off all that stuff but my mum's inlaw my grandma and theirvfamilyvwould plaster me with all that crap and I was hyper and had escma afterwards. Of course in the long run by having that crap it made me hate all of it and so now I'm vegan, mostly raw and cring at ppl feeding children or themselves this sort of stuff.

We should remove the cause of the addition of food dyes instead of asking them not to or banning it.

What's bad about fruits vegetables legumes grains etc ? Fruits especially look delicious to anyone's eye.

ive been saying this for years and my kids are older now n have some freedom. what do they buy with their own money because mom wont provide it. yup you guessed it processed junk. whatthe heck do you do with that?

They say there isn't enough evidence that marijuana is not harmful, all while keeping toxic things every where. I don't get the FDA. Your cancerous deodorant is okay, but that plant that has benefits is not. This video just reminded me of the warped view they have.

FOX News, Emailed earlier today and this was a part of my position.

DANG!!!!!!

Raelyn Edwards What?

I haven't seen anyone tell that eating lots of vegetables is bad for you. I'm not as positive that eating any meat is bad, however that actually might be true, as eating lots of meat for long time has been shown to be harmful. Similar with certain kinds of fat. Almost all diets actually don't have anything to back them up, so you're attacking a strawman. Heck, even conservative AHA diet (shown to work) is watered down due to political pressure and acceptance issues.

That's no "maybe" - this study was pretty strong. Always been healthy? There is cumulative damage over the years, such as atherosclerosis. The accepted thing since, say, 1920s, was always "eat lots of vegetables". It has never changed - the same as unpatentable, cheap drugs; can't sell 100 brands of tomato, people can't tell and it's less convenient. (Many specifics have since been added to the recomendation. Actual evidence of harm of the SAD has been unequivocably shown in many studies.)

Food dye allergies are not just effecting children. My son was diagnosed with ADD many years ago in school and we were told that he would most likely outgrow the ADD. I don't feel he has. I am in my 60's and feel mentally and physically much better when I cut out food dye. My opinion....it's POISON

👍🏻👍🏻

How can we make bad food look good then?

Well ,when you should have applied your logic was when you began eating artificial foods with chemicals and dyes in them ... then ask that question.

CENSUS, states *Refer to Pediatrician*.

Allergies to the Dyes. High/Low Blood Sugar. Or, both.

Has anyone tipped off moose kakes, self-elected chief of the food police? You know, the one that lives (temporarily) in the light-colored house in DC. This is the same ''woman'' that said ''she'' had no idea how to feed her own kids just before ''she'' moved into public housing.

Dyes + Medications/VITAMINS/Immunizations + Cooking Style + Oral Fluid + Then Food Choices. Monitor Bathing Soaps/Creams/Laundry Detergent. ***Common*** Seasonal/Dust/Molds/Grasses/Pet Dander. ***Allergy Testing***ADVOCATE. University of South Florida/Allergy and Immunology Department.

If able to, I suggest to at least try 1 time to Nurse/BreastFeed. Not everywhere is appropriate to me, but I am not them.

You are not who? And your comment was not about artificial colors. ... If a baby needs to eat, he or she needs to eat.

ADD/ADHD.....non-supporter of Prescription Intervention, at all. Newborn to College/Adult Challenges. Strengths, build Weakness.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

There's a lady who sells natural coloring for baking or whatever. She did it for her daughter. I think the colors look really nice.

You lost me at cornflakes & most cereals because they're "fortified" with Cyanocobalamin. What kind of uneducated doctor thinks these foods are okay? The sort of doctor who says you should eat soy & oatmeal too.

I have Autism and ADHD- Your data is inconclusive.

It's unfortunate just how many people do not understand that ADHD meds as a matter of fact are actually (meth)amphetamines. That's why I'm happily sharing with you my short video on curing ADHD at the core through a scientifically verified application. My young boys focus significantly increased by simply exercising the working memory, and so I believe this will be helpful to you and others! All the best, Robert Smith

Is this what's screwing up our millennials?

Yes. Millenials are rude, obnoxious , have the worst attitude not just with friends but with older adults and can't handle having a relationship more than 2 years without ghosting the person after a while instead of working out problems. Sisters abandon their sisters for any stupid reason and have absolutely no unconditional love left and all the millenial girls act drunk.

FYI, there aren't enough strawberries grown in the entire world to provide naturally flavored strawberry foods such as jello, candy, cakes, cereal, etc. Using artificial flavor works better and is more cost effective.

He's on the food dyes

Ok but like for real, as a professional I would have expected you to be less subjective. Every single sentence in this video is made to make food dyes look bad despite no evidence of AFCs causing ADHD has ever been presented, that also was not a flawed experiment. It's clear that you have an opinion and that you are trying to persuade your viewers to think like you rather than just presenting information on the subject and letting us decide on our own. Benjamin did not conduct his experiments according to the scientific method and very few researching the subject have. This is in part how you give relatively harmless substances a negative reputation. The standards for what is too dangerous for a food color in the EU is a chance higher than 1 in 19 billion. That means that If you gave a food dye that just didn't make it to every single person on earth there would be less than a 50 percent chance that one single person got cancer. Obviously, that is a risk, but nowhere close to how dangerous you make it sound.

downvoted for the way its narrated.
