To Jeff: Artificial Colors

[LuluGirl]

Hi Jeff,

 

A little off topic but know you are the expert here! I've been keeping my kids fairly "clean" but in two instances have felt like my heart was beating way too fast and upon reflection, I had eaten things containing red dye. Do you know if the red coloring can cause anything like that?

 

Thanks,

Lisa

HI LuluGirl, I've never heard of that reaction in particular, although it wouldn't surprise me. Caffeine can do that to some people, though.

If you experience it again after eating red dye, then you may be on to something.
