I just read about food colorings. I always knew they did horrible things to children and were not good for you but was not aware that they were actually made from petroleum. Now how come we think it is ok to eat things that are produced from a known carcinogen? It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

Check out this link for more information http://www.feingold.org/program-pg.html.

I am reading more about the feingold diet.

This website has a good synopsis of the feingold diet http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Ency/Index.cfm/Id/1067004.

“The FDA who not only revoked the petition for approval of aspartame but tried to have the original manufacturer, Searle, indicted today along with the professional organizations funded by the manufacturers and the front groups like Calorie Control Council, tell the world aspartame is safe. They will tell you about 200 studies showing safety. In reality you can’t take an excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug like aspartame and make it show safety.”

Thank heavens they have finally made moves to remove that toxin from our food products! This is an interesting link to the history of aspartame: http://www.wnho.net/history_of_aspartame.htm.
