My son is 13 years old. We have been dye free for the last 2 years. He is intolerant to many dyes but specifically to Red 40 and Blue 1 & 2. If he eats or drinks something that contains these dyes, he will have uncontrollable motor tics for several days. If he is exposed to heavy amounts of these dyes he will also have horrible migraines and anxiety. It is very hard finding safe alternatives for him. I would love to see the United States use natural and safe forms of dye instead.
