Jillian Michaels Exposes Food Dye Concerns: Coal Tar and Petroleum Links

Jillian Michaels raises alarming concerns about the presence of coal tar and petroleum derivatives in common food dyes used in the United States.

The discussion contrasts the safety profiles of natural foods like blueberries against artificial food colorings, highlighting the absence of neurotoxicity and cancer risks in natural alternatives while pointing out these dangers in synthetic dyes.

“It’s wild, isn’t it? I know it’s exactly the same as what’s in our food dies, which is coal tar and petroleum and crude oil. I mean, the comparison is just unparalleled. And in fact, if you Google side effects of blueberries, you won’t find neurotoxicity and cancer, whereas you probably will. Should you do that with yellow, five and blue, this and red that?”

The stark difference between European and American food safety standards emerges as a central point of concern, particularly regarding the regulation of food additives.

The New York Times’ coverage of these disparities helps illuminate the need for regulatory reform in the United States.

The urgency in Michaels’ tone underscores the critical nature of addressing these food safety concerns and the importance of public awareness.
