Thanks for the word of warning; I find it unbelievable that people would eat stuff with dyes, but then my own kids were suckers for cheetos and mac n cheese and the like (c’mon, orange cheese?) yogurt and such. The list is long…

You must mean Yellow #5. There is no red #5.

My niece and I are ALLERGIC to Red dye #5. Weird. Never knew that was possible until her allergist told her.

Good to know. Hopefully because I cook from home I'm not getting as many dyes! I will say though that I've tried buying all natural food coloring and it's just not the same. I picked some up at whole foods and not only was it incredibly expensive ($20 for three tiny vials) the colors were just awful - the green came out a puke color, for example. So now I just stick to using dye sparingly. .-= Kelly´s last blog ..Glazed Sweet Potato- Ham and Brie Melt =-.
