Join me, Nika Lawrie, and my dear friend Kelley DeLong as we uncover the hidden dangers of artificial dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 5 in kids’ foods and their potential link to behavioral issues like ADHD. Kelley shares her journey as a mother navigating the food industry to support her son, while we spotlight the financial motives behind synthetic additives and the need for vigilant label-reading.
