Is Red 40 Safe?

Just because something is in our food, doesn’t mean we should be putting it in our body. Read more from the Cleveland Clinic on Red 40 here.

If you could do something at home starting today that could help your child’s hyperactivity, including ADHD, and behavioral changes like irritability and depression, wouldn’t it be worth a try? The research is piling up about how reducing & eliminating artificial dyes can help our children feel better physically and emotionally.

This is something you can take control over today! Take a look in your pantry and fridge just to see what common items you typically buy have red 40. Take note of swaps you can make (ideas in this article) to make sure your next grocery run supports this adjustment. Chat with your kids about why making these swaps are important to help get them on board too.

You don’t have to change everything all at once. Making 1 swap today will matter & will help build your momentum for making other swaps.

I also love the YumEarth brand for candies & fruit snacks! You can find some at Target, Amazon, or of course, their website.
