#5. Processed Foods & Artificial Food Dyes
Over 3,000 preservatives, flavourings, and colours are added to US foods, a majority of which are banned in other countries. Instead, countries like Norway and Austria use natural food colourings like paprika extract, turmeric and beetroot to dye their foods. For example, boxed Mac & Cheese, Jell-O, kids’ cereals, and cheddar flavoured crackers contain red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6 and/or blue 2, which can result in cancer, birth defects and behavioural problems.
