The pigments that make grapes purple and pumpkin orange protect brain cells, while the artificial ingredients that mimic these colors in processed foods can impair brain function. Tyler Graham and Drew Ramsey, MD - The Happiness Diet (2011) Artificial dyes and flavoring are made from everything including bugs to chemicals derived from petroleum. These are typically produced by chemically manipulating naturally sourced chemicals, crude oil, or coal tar. The FDA allows “permissible” amounts of contaminants like mercury, lead, arsenic, and certain carcinogens such as benzidine in the foods we eat and the products we use regularly. In the United States, there are products on the market that contain large amounts of artificial dyes and flavors. It is vital to read labels every time you buy a product, even if it’s a product you have used for years, because you don’t know when they will sneak a new ingredient into your favorite food, toothpaste, cosmetic, or medication.
