RFK Jr. wants to ban food dyes. Will that improve public health?

In 2023 , California became the first state in the country to ban Red 3 in foods, along with three other additives.

Critics argue studies don't reflect real-world consumption levels.

A national ban would mean there isn't a patchwork anymore, but by moving in the wrong direction.

Such a rule might override consumer choice and give eaters a false sense of security.
