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 damageYellow 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:
Joe Rogan blasts the New York Times with major truth bombs when they attempt to debunk RFK about Froot Loops, but only ended up looking like absolute fools because he was right all along!
A must watch!

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:
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.
