Regarding the Cleveland Clinic flu vaccine study, it's a perfect example of how a preliminary finding can be misinterpreted. While the study did report that number, experts - and even the Cleveland Clinic itself - quickly pointed out that the conclusion was likely misleading. The study didn't account for the fact that vaccinated employees were simply 27% more likely to get tested for the flu, which skewed the results. Most importantly, the study didn't look at the primary goal of the flu vaccine: preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Broader data from the CDC for that same season confirmed the vaccine was indeed effective at keeping people out of the hospital.
On the other hand, your concerns about artificial food dyes are very much on point, and you are right about the science and the direction things are heading.
You're correct that consumption has increased dramatically over the past several decades.
The research you mentioned on Red #40 showing DNA damage and inflammation in mice is accurate.
You're also right about the European studies linking some dyes to hyperactivity in children, which led to mandatory warning labels in the EU.
And thankfully, you are correct that Red #3 is being banned nationwide in the U.S., with the ban taking effect in 2027 due to long-standing health concerns.

As for artificial, petroleum based & synthetic food coloring, Americans have increased their consumption by 500% over the last 5 decades. Norway and Sweden have banned or greatly limited use of food coloring due to links to hyperactivity in children and cancer. The NIH did a study that showed DNA damage, colonic inflation and impacts on the microbiome in mice from Red #40. There's also European studies that show a possible connection to behavioral and health issues. Thankfully, Red #3 will be going away in 2027 and 3 new food colorings were recently approved from natural sources.
Of course, everyone has the freedom of choice to get as many vaccines as they wish or consume foods with artificial coloring. Just some people choose to avoid them. Thanks for the reply! Have a good day!

I'm glad the other information that I shared about artificial food coloring was correct. Thank you for confirming. My goal is to always post accurate information, but like the Cleveland Clinic's study, I can make mistakes at times. lol. I'm also very happy that Red #3 is going away in 2027 and hopefully other food coloring products that have health concerns can be removed as well. If other countries can get food coloring from safe natural sources, I think America should do it, too. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Sprouts and other US retailers are thankfully already moving that direction.
Thank you for your reply and wishing you a great rest of your week!
