RFK Jr. Declares War on Artificial Dyes—What You Need to Know 

Who didn’t love a big bowl of Fruit Loops, a cherry Icee from 7-Eleven, and a handful of jelly beans that stained your tongue red? Childhood was sweet—but also toxic. Literally.

According to a recent New York Post article, United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is calling for a ban on artificial dyes in U.S. foods. He said, “There’s no reason American children should be exposed to chemicals that have been banned in other countries just so companies can make food look brighter or last longer.”

Think about that. These synthetic dyes—Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1—are illegal in Europe due to links to hyperactivity, cancer, and developmental issues. But here in America? They’re still being pumped into cereals, snacks, and drinks. Why? Profit. Shelf life. Sugar addiction. Mass production.

And who pays the price? Our kids.

This is more than a dietary issue—it’s a spiritual one. “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit… You are not your own” (1 Corinthians 6:19). God didn’t design our bodies to process synthetic biology. He didn’t create our guts for petroleum-based dyes or preservatives we can’t even pronounce.

In a world obsessed with convenience and the grab-and-go lifestyle, caring for our bodies is an act of holy resistance. God entrusted us with one body—one temple—and every choice we make is an opportunity to honor that gift. It’s time to slow down, pay attention, and take responsibility. Read the labels. Ask hard questions. Choose what’s grown, not manufactured—what’s real, not artificial.

Our health is sacred, and it’s worth protecting.
