                                The food industry relies on synthetic colorants, with Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6 accounting for 90% of all dyes used in the U.S., but concerns are growing over **what are the most harmful dyes** and their potential health implications, including behavioral and neurodevelopmental issues in children. Research is increasingly highlighting the risks associated with these petroleum-based additives.
