Artificial food dye consumption has increased by 500 % over the last 50 years. They are used in almost all foods including cereals, candy, baked goods, salad dressing, beverages, pet food and even meat and fish. Artificial food dyes are made from petroleum and can be neurotoxic. Studies have shown that a number of side effects including behavioral issues such as hyperactivity, inattention as seen in ADHD, restlessness, moodiness, irritability and or anxiety and depression and migraines are just a few.

Tanya L brought her 5 year old daughter into our office with many of the symptoms listed above. Medical doctors wanted to use medications to treat the symptoms but Tanya wanted to take a more natural route to help her child. Upon taking a history it was noted that her daughter had a very limited diet and most of it was processed foods that contain artificial food dyes. Changing her diet and putting her on a homeopathic detox plan helped to remove the toxins and restore more normal nervous system function. Many of the symptoms disappeared in a few weeks and a lot of her health challenges did as well. With the holidays quickly approaching I hope you will look at labels and choose healthier versions of candy and baked goods without food dyes. They do exist especially in supermarkets that offer healthier choices.

If you or your children are suffering from any of these symptoms, I challenge you to remove the food dyes and see what happens. If the symptoms persist call (508) 660-2722 to make an appointment with one of our Doctors. The Holistic Center at Bristol Square is located at 1426 Main Street, Walpole.
