Here’s Why Red Dye 40 Is WAY Worse Than You Realized….
Everyone knows RFK, Jr. is on a mission to “Make America Healthy Again”.
That’s not really news at this point.
But that’s also not the point of this article.
The point of this article is to really dig into some of the things already being exposed that you might not have even known about.
I’ll lead the front of that confession line because I really had no idea how absolutely TOXIC so much of this stuff is.
Food dyes, for example.
Sure, we’ve all heard about them being bad for you and in particular bad for kids, but I’m a strong, grown adult, you mean to tell me that a little red food dye is going to be bad for me?
That was my prior thinking until I dug into it….
Now I’m extremely grossed out and angry at what they’re doing to us — children and adults alike!
In short?
Yes, a little “red food dye” IS extremely bad for you and toxic….and we have RFK to thank for leading this movement and shining light on it.
Did you know that Red Dye 40 destroys the p53 pathway?
Do you know what the p53 pathway does?
Suppresses tumors!
Guess what happens when p53 is destroyed by Red Dye 40?
Tumors grow unchecked!
Let me show you a lot more….
Let’s start with this from MJTruth who exposes what these things actually are — they’re not just cute food dyes, they’re industrial toxins:
My wife was browsing around online for prenatal vitamins… as it was recommended she get more iron in her diet…
We got the iron part settled… but To our surprise, she came across this product where the ingredients included blue #1, Red #40, and Yellow #5
How in the world is… pic.twitter.com/Xz5qmP0UbN

How in the world is it ok to place these kinds of ingredients in what we consume, let alone what is disposed to be beneficial for a pregnant woman.
Red # 40 is literally crude oil.
Hyperactivity ADHD, Allergic Reactions hives, skin rashes, or swelling, Carcinogenic, anxiety, depression, Gastrointestinal Issues, DNA Damage
Blue #1
hypersensitivity, skin rashes, hives, or respiratory problems like asthma. Hyperactivity, carcinogenic, affects neurons, Neurotoxicity crossing the blood-brain barrier, Organ Damage particularly to the liver, genetic damage
Yellow Dye called Tartrazine (Yellow Dye #5)
—— this dye is made from the sludge left over when you turn coal into coke
• Tartrazine (Yellow #5) was used to pave roads… but then one day a British chemist figured out how to make fabric dye, and that escalated to using it in our food
• Tartrazine (Yellow #5) causes..
—— cancerous tumors
—— asthma
—— developmental delays
—— neurological damage
—— ADD/ADHD
—— hormone disruption
—— gene damage
—— anxiety
—— depression
—— intestinal injuries
• Tartrazine (Yellow #5), like other food dyes, are banned in many other countries, and some countries it says it on the label that it may cause ADHD in children.
But we give it to pregnant women and children?

But this is where it gets good….
So RFK, Jr. says the Canadian version of Froot Loops is very different from the American version and the NY Times tried to “Fact Check” that but only ended up getting mercilessly mocked in return.
Yes, they’re essentially the same ingredients….if…..you remove all the food coloring and BHT chemicals!

Even Joe Rogan piled in to mock the absurdity of the NY Times:

I thought this video did a great job breaking it all down and putting things in context….how about a 50% reduction in cancers?
FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Kevin:
Hey everyone, me Kevin here. This is absolutely insane—there is massive drama going on that you’ve got to know about, and it could save your life from cancer. I’m talking about as much as 38% to 50% of cancers. It could save your children’s lives.
Yeah, this video has to do with the controversy between The New York Times and RFK, but if you value your life, I’d recommend sharing this video. If you don’t value your life, there’s a link down below for life insurance. Go to metkevin.com/slife. It’s a paid promotion and a paid partner of the channel. You can get life insurance so that way at least your family can benefit.
Okay, let’s get into the topic.
So first, I saw a tweet post yesterday that somebody said they were spitting out their coffee after reading this New York Times fact-check of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I thought, “Okay, okay.” Somebody said “fact-check”—that’s like a bat signal to Kevin, like, “Ah, Kevin’s going to work!” Because that’s what I do—I love taking apart headlines and giving you the straight scoop.
As usual in life, there’s substantially more context than what you can fit in 140 characters—or, I think it’s like 280 now, but whatever.
The screenshot that Brad posted was a quote from a New York Times article. I’m going to read it to you once, but I’m going to give you a preface because, at first, you’re going to be like, “Wait, what?” And then I’ll clarify the details. But you’re going to see the irony, how disgusting, and how bad this work by The New York Times is.
Mind you, I know—where’s my newspaper? I subscribe to The New York Times, okay? I try to be somebody who listens to all sources. It’s right here; I’ve got it. This is the Sunday Times. It says it costs $6 for this bundle—see that? November 7th.
Okay, so you know I also—despite how much I hate them, and they bagged on me when I ran for governor—I got The LA Times too. I hate their guts. They were not very nice to me, that editorial board. I hate you, editorial board of The LA Times. Suck it.
So, with that said, let’s get into this.
The New York Times wrote:
“Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of products with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version.”
Then you might be asking yourself, “Oh my gosh, is Kevin really going to talk to us about Froot Loops?”
No, I’m going to talk to you about cancer and dying, but we’re going to start with Froot Loops.
Remember, RFK was just appointed and he’s still subject to Senate confirmation. He might not get through, but imagine this: people are scared that someone might actually bring change to the fattest, most obese, and sickest country in the world.
Oh, how interesting.
You know, I actually love RFK’s line that he wants to make health care about health care and not “sick care,” which is what it is now, in his opinion—and I agree.
Anyway, he singled out Froot Loops as having too many artificial ingredients compared to the Canadian version.
Now, I’m going to read this word-for-word to you because this is where I’m like, “Wait, what are you doing, New York Times?”
So they write:
“But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same.”
Okay, so you read up to that, and you’re like, “Alright, so he’s wrong. It’s got the same ingredient list. Alright, RFK made a mistake. Let’s move on.”
Oh, wait a minute:
“But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots.”
Okay, that sounds good—colorings from blueberries and carrots, got it.
“While the U.S. product contains Red Dye No. 40, Yellow Dye No. 5, Blue Dye No. 1, as well as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), a lab-made chemical that is used for freshness, according to the ingredient label.”
Dear New York Times, you just told me that RFK was wrong because the ingredient list is actually the same between Canada and the United States in Froot Loops. Then you proceeded to list four different chemicals that are substantially different in the U.S. version!
So then I decided, “Okay, why don’t we do a little bit of research?”
I went to the National Institute for Health, which is where you can find published studies on things like Red Dye No. 40.
Google this, please: The synthetic food dye Red Dye No. 40 causes DNA damage and colonic inflammation.
That doesn’t sound good. That’s from September 2023. It’s from a bunch of researchers associated with the University of South Carolina—voted for Trump, by the way, that state.
But anyway, I want to read some portions of this to you because it’s scary.
Then I want you to think for a moment about how RFK is someone who’s standing against these sorts of chemicals in our food.
And I want you to take away some life lessons here, because they’re going to tell you the dangers that are very real—to our children, to you, and how bad it really is.
Kevin:
The incidence of colorectal cancer among young people has been on the rise for four decades, and its underlying causes are only now starting to be uncovered. Recent studies suggest that consuming ultra-processed foods and pro-inflammatory diets may be contributing factors.
The increase in the use of synthetic food colors, such as food dyes, over the last 40 years—including common synthetic dyes like Red Dye No. 40—coincides with the rise of early-onset colorectal cancer and other cancers, especially in children.
I just want to take a moment—a moment of silence almost—for a good friend of mine, Chandler David Smith. His wife died of colon cancer by the age of, I believe, about 24. One of the most beautiful people ever—inside and out. Great person.
It breaks my heart. Their children are now without their mom. I asked Chandler, “What do you think caused this?” when I met him in person last year, shortly after she passed. It was a really, really hard time.
He said the only thing he could relate it to was diet.
Now, she wasn’t unhealthy. She was skinny, fit, into fitness, and otherwise extremely healthy. Nothing wrong anywhere in her body. But the potential introduction of things like Red Dye No. 40 in children—I’m personally linking these.
Keep this story in mind, because it breaks my heart. I have seven children, and this matters. It matters to everybody watching this.
So I kept reading, and listen to some of these lines here:
“Red Dye No. 40 highlights the urgency of exploring this issue because the rise in cancers in younger, otherwise healthy people is coinciding with the rise in the use of these chemicals. They show DNA damage in both in vitro (lab) and in vivo (biological settings).”
The consumption of Red Dye No. 40 is leading to rising cancers in otherwise healthy young people in their 20s and 30s.
Diet plays a pivotal role in influencing the risk of these cancers. As a public health concern, research suggests that a diet high in processed meats, red meats, and saturated fatty acids may lead to an increased risk of developing cancers.
Conversely, diets rich in fiber, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables may offer protective benefits.
Now, we’ll talk about some of those in a moment. But the prevalence of ultra-processed, westernized diets—typically high in fat and simple carbs—comes with an increased incidence of these red dyes, especially over the last 40 years.
In fact, there are three major dyes that account for 90% of all dyes used in food in the USA. Red Dye No. 40 is the most common.
94% of people in the United States over 2 years old consume Red Dye No. 40, and over 40% of the foods marketed toward children in the USA contain these dyes.
Now, I’m not telling you, based on this research here, that if you just have Red Dye No. 40 once, you’re going to die.
What it does, according to this, is cause inflammation in your colon that, over time, leads to a more prone breeding ground for cancer.
But it’s not just inflammation. And this is where it got really scary.
I actually went all in and read the whole thing. I didn’t use AI on it at all—I read the whole thing because it was captivating.
They observed that p53 is a functional, mutated pathway caused by Red Dye No. 40 in either a low-fat or high-fat diet.
What is p53, and why is that pathway mutated by Red Dye No. 40? Well, that’s when things got scary.
The p53 pathway is a tumor suppressor pathway that prevents abnormal cells from propagating.
In other words, everybody has DNA damage in their body all the time. The sun causes it. Foods cause it. Whatever.
The point is for you to have a healthy diet to arm your body with the weapons it needs—much like the U.S. arms Ukraine—to fight cancers like Russians.
Okay, maybe I shouldn’t correlate these things, but whatever.
Pathway 53 is a tumor suppressor, and it is functionally “inactivated” when humans have cancer.
So, in other words, cancer builds when p53 can’t work.
38% to 50% of cancers are correlated with mutations in the p53 pathway.
And guess what screws up pathway 53? Red Dye No. 40.
Now that you have a little bit more context, let’s go back to reading The New York Times:
“Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of why a product with too many artificial ingredients can cause problems, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version.
But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada has natural colors made from blueberries and carrots. The U.S. version contains Red Dye No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Blue No. 1, and BHT, a lab-made chemical for freshness.”
So, my friends, let’s now rewrite that as it should be written:
The Canadian version does not contain the chemicals that the U.S. version contains.
The U.S. version contains chemicals that affect over 94% of Americans over 2 years old. Those chemicals deactivate the weapon systems in your body that shoot down cancer.
Kevin:
It’s like Russia sending over suicide drones, and you’re trying to shoot them down—but you can’t.
You can’t because the FDA came in and took away all your anti-drone weapons by enabling Red Dye No. 40 to propagate throughout the entire United States, affecting children over 2 years old.
That’s scary, and that’s sad.
So, how does this affect your lifestyle?
Obviously, if you believe this, then limiting artificial sweeteners and processed foods in your diet is critical.
RFK stands for being critical of this, and I support anybody who stands for change—especially in the face of this data.
Now, I’m not saying that RFK is perfect. He has said things that have been proven untrue. But at least he is shaking the bush, and I support that.
How concerning is this?
Well, Red Dye No. 40 affects you over time by causing long-term inflammation, essentially creating a breeding ground for cancer.
Now, I’m not a doctor, but to distill this, my belief is that if you start deactivating some of the inflammation in your body by eating a healthier, balanced diet of healthy fats, it could make a big difference.
Look up how to balance Omega-3, 6, and 9. Write this down: You want one Omega-3 for every four parts of Omega-6, and you can have as many Omega-9s as you want in a balanced diet.
Obviously, don’t drown yourself in olive oil—that’s your Omega-9.
Your Omega-6s are going to be fried foods and seed oils. There’s a meme circulating on X where RFK comes in saying “Seed oils! Ultra-processed foods!” like Javier Milei cutting waste departments in Argentina.
So make sure to cut out—or “aura”—the red dyes in your life.
Make sure to share this video—it could save your life.
Anyway, I’ll continue with these deep-dive fact-checks. They take a lot more time, but I think they provide a lot of value and really get under the skin of the real problems in our society and culture.
Hopefully, this helps you out.
I love you all. Thank you so very much for being here and being a subscriber.
I’ve got to get back to work now—I’ve got to go look at some real estate.
With that said, Kevin out.
Here’s more from YahooNews:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for the nation’s top health post, has vowed to “get the chemicals out” of America’s food amid mounting concerns over the health effects of additives.
These chemical ingredients – designed to enhance the flavors, textures, colors and shelf life of ultra-processed foods – are in many of the foods that Americans eat. But who determines whether they are safe?
Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post.
In many cases, it’s not the Food and Drug Administration that decides if chemical additives are safe to use in food. Instead, it’s the companies that make and sell the products that contain them.
Research shows that a regulatory loophole has allowed for America’s food to be saturated in largely unapproved additives. The health consequences can be dire. In one case two years ago, a toxic food additive known as tara flour that was allowed into the food supply through this loophole was blamed for sickening hundreds of people and sending at least 130 to the hospital.
Now, a growing number of politicians and lawmakers are demanding changes. Kennedy has pledged to overhaul federal food regulations as part of his “Make America Healthy Again” plan. (A spokesperson for Kennedy did not respond to a request for comment.) And several states, including New York and Illinois, are considering new rules that would more strictly regulate the additives used by food companies.
“The average consumer would absolutely assume that new preservatives, ingredients and flavors in food are all checked out by the FDA before they arrive on our supermarket shelves,” said Pieter Cohen, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, who co-authored a recent report on the loophole in the New England Journal of Medicine. “That’s what’s commonly believed. But it’s a false narrative.”

A little-known loophole
Under federal law, the FDA has a mandate to ensure that all ingredients used in food are safe. Companies are not supposed to use new food additives in their products until they have gone through a thorough safety review process and received premarket approval from the FDA.
The problem, experts say, is that food additives are exempted from the premarket approval process if they’re considered “generally recognized as safe,” or “GRAS” for short. This designation was created so that common household ingredients with a long history of safe use in food – like oil and vinegar, baking soda, and everyday spices and seasonings – would not have to go through rigorous safety reviews.

Under current rules, however, companies can skirt the premarket approval process and determine on their own that a new food additive or substance is “generally recognized as safe.”
Exactly how companies go about determining that a new ingredient is safe is up to them. The FDA says that companies can convene a “panel of qualified experts” to evaluate the scientific data. But it’s not a requirement. And studies show that even when food companies do convene a panel of experts, the experts are usually handpicked and paid for by the companies, creating financial conflicts of interest.
“The food industry is deciding by itself without any input from the FDA what is safe for us to eat,” said Thomas Galligan, the principal scientist for food additives and supplements at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group. “Most consumers would be shocked to know that the FDA has essentially handed the reins over to the food industry.”
An analysis published in 2022 by the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy organization, found that 98.7 percent of the roughly 766 new food chemicals introduced to the food supply since 2000 were not approved by the FDA.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the FDA acknowledged that under federal law, food companies do not have to get premarket approval from the agency to use ingredients in their products “that meet the criteria for GRAS.” The spokesperson said that the federal law governing food additives doesn’t give the FDA the authority to mandate that companies provide the agency with any information about the ingredients they use in their foods that are considered GRAS.
“The food industry is responsible for ensuring the safety of the ingredients they use in foods before they go to market,” the spokesperson added. “All uses of ingredients considered GRAS, food additives, color additives and food contact substances must meet the same safety standard – reasonable certainty of no harm.”
Anna Rosales, the senior director of government affairs and nutrition for the Institute of Food Technologists, a food industry group, said in a statement that the process for approving new food additives should be more transparent.
“IFT believes it is essential to recognize that both pre- and post-market assessments should ensure end-to-end transparency in the approval of ingredients and foods,” she added. “Transparency is critical to building public trust and ensuring consumer confidence in the U.S. food supply.”

How a ‘safe’ food ingredient made people sick
A tragic example of how this system can go wrong occurred two years ago, when nearly 400 people got sick after eating a ground beef substitute – called French Leek and Lentil Crumbles – sold by Daily Harvest, the popular food subscription service. More than 130 of the people who got sick were hospitalized with gastrointestinal distress, liver injuries and other symptoms, and at least 39 people had to have their gallbladders removed.
Investigators determined that the most likely cause of the sickness was a new ingredient in the crumbles called tara flour – a high-protein flour made from the seeds of a tree grown in South America. Even though there were no published toxicological studies of tara flour and the FDA had not evaluated its safety, a company that imported tara flour from Peru had claimed that it was GRAS and supplied the ingredient to distributors in the United States.
Folks, when the FULL truth comes out about how badly they have been poisoning us via our FOOD SUPPLY, there are going to be riots in the streets.
I’m not calling for violence, I’m simply saying people are going to be absolutely livid.
And rightfully so.
