RFK Jr. Pushes Ban on Artificial Food Dyes

• Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to announce a ban on eight petroleum-based food dyes, aiming to phase them out by the end of his term.
• The move has sparked debate, with some studies linking these dyes to ADHD symptoms in children, though no conclusive evidence ties them to cancer in humans.
• The FDA acknowledges that while most children are unaffected, some may be sensitive to these additives.
• The initiative has faced criticism from industry groups, citing potential price hikes and reduced product variety.
• The ban aligns with global trends, as some countries have already restricted or labeled these dyes due to health concerns.
