Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to announce a plan to phase out petroleum-based synthetic food dyes during a press conference with FDA head Marty Makary. Kennedy is known for criticizing food manufacturing practices, claiming these dyes are harmful to children's health. His initiative is part of a broader campaign to reduce chronic disease. While the FDA's support for banning synthetic dyes is noted, experts emphasize the need for a careful and extensive process, and some argue that focusing on more significant health threats could be more effective.
"It's encouraging to see the FDA working towards a ban on synthetic food dyes, but it's clear that phasing them out will involve a multi-step process that will take a long time to accomplish."
"Food dyes are an important cause of morbidity, but I don't think they are, by a long shot, the largest causes of chronic disease in this country."
