The FDA recently banned Red No. 3, an artificial dye used to give food products a red or pink hue

Critics are pushing back on the ban on Red No. 3 , an artificial dye used to give food products a red or pink hue.

Critics say the claim that the dye causes cancer rests on a single study done in 1987 that showed an excessive amount of the dye over 30 months caused a statistically significant number of lab rats to develop thyroid adenomas.

Some are concerned, however, claiming the move constitutes government overreach.

Conservatives aren’t fans of a heavy-handed government, but we’re also not fans of experimenting on God’s perfect human design.

Conservatives are opposed to ill-defined government intervention, wielded by an unelected bureaucracy captured by corporations, that lacks the support of those who are supposed to have the ultimate say: we the people.
