R3 Food Dye. Humans create products with good taste and attractive color, So that the purchase and consumption will be ever-increased. It is Halloween and one possible danger is the ubiquitous Candy Corn sweet. It contains the food dye R3 which studies have shown, Ingestion by,especially children, increases hyperactivity. Many superfluous items are added to our foods, Which are mildly or strongly adverse to our health. As Michael Pollan states in his book,'Omnivore's Dilemma', 'Shop on the outer walls of a grocery store, To find the purist of healthy, unprocessed foods For you and your offspring.' Do not become paranoid, just be ever-vigilant ! Frank Maurer 22 October 2023 1625 Hours.
