I don't want to get sick from eating artificial candy. I want natural colors to be add in candy.

If we are to follow the assumption that they only make food look better, and are not harmful, then we are still left with a problem. There's no need to add them other than to attract the attention of children. It is proven that candy is bad for your teeth, and that too much sugar can lead to type 2 diabetes.

A simple search will tell you that there are concerns about Red #40, Red #3 Yellow #6, Yellow #5, Sodium Benzoate, Green #3, Orange B, Blue #1 and Blue #2.

Many people on the other side of this debate have stated that the only purpose of these colors is to make the candy look better. Well, paint would make it look better too.

If something is good, it doesn't matter what it looks like.

To assume that putting something in your body has no effect is nonsense. So, harmful or not, why consume something which has no known nutritional value?

Why take the risk?

Either way... to present something, as something it is not, is clearly unethical.

To misrepresent food is dangerous. Artificial coloring doesn't just color candies, it hides the quality of other food products as well. To willfully misrepresent something is called fraud. Trust me, I know what fraud is. I used to be a fraud investigator.

Yes, it should be illegal, and it already is.

It needs to be enforced.

Some people may be allergic to some dyes and need to have all-natural candy. The concept is to make the sweets a little bit more healthy for all.
