These chemicals are invented for one sole purpose, and that’s to improve the bottom line of the food industry, not improve our health.” In this episode, I sit down with author and activist Vani Hari, popularly known as the “food babe.” For over a decade, she has been exposing toxic ingredients in America’s food—and getting companies to stop using them. “[The FDA has] not reviewed the safety data of these artificial dyes in over 10 years. However, children’s consumption of these artificial food dyes have increased 500 percent,” says Hari. “We’re not trying to stop fast food or get rid of fast food. We want to make it the same as they do in Europe. McDonald’s french fries: 11 ingredients here in the United States, including dimethyl polysiloxane, an ingredient you would find in silly putty ... but in the UK, there’s three ingredients, and the fourth ingredient is optional. It’s just salt.” Hari argues that food companies should add a warning label to every product that uses artificial food dyes, as they already do in Europe. “That would automatically almost force the food industry to remove them here as well, because they do not want parents to be concerned about their products,” she says.
