The federal health department has said it will move to phase out eight artificial dyes, citing health concerns.<\/p>\n

The Department of Health and Human Services announced this week<\/a> that it would work to remove some artificial dyes from the U.S. food supply, citing concerns about how they might affect children\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

Among the dyes that the health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is targeting are colorings common in ultraprocessed foods like candy, chips and some cereals. In a news conference on Tuesday announcing the effort, Dr. Marty Makary, the Food and Drug Administration commissioner, linked these dyes to obesity, diabetes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cancer and other health conditions in children.<\/p>\n

Several, mostly small studies have found a link between some artificial food dyes and behavioral issues, which medical experts have said is cause for concern and warrants further research. But some said it is unclear if removing the dyes would have a meaningful effect on rates of childhood obesity, diabetes or other problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody\u2019s going to be sad to see the food dyes go, but it\u2019s definitely not the panacea that it\u2019s being portrayed as,\u201d said Lindsey Smith Taillie, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina\u2019s Gillings School of Global Public Health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
