This Common Ingredient Could Be Wrecking Your Mood 😳🍬 | Uma Naidoo, MD

There's a lot of awareness happening right now around food dyes and stuff like that, which is great. It's going to take a long time before a lot of these unsafe ingredients are going to be taken out of.

Foods until.

We can prove that they're dangerous. If you really just decide you're going to make a conscious decision. When you go to the grocery store, if you don't buy it, you can't eat it.

When you've bought it and it's in the home, it's hard to not eat it.

I think it's especially important for our children because the marketing that goes behind a lot of these children's foods.

And I think there's also the struggle that parents have where the child wants something. I also feel like it's not a perfect solution, but involving children in food buying decisions early on. Taking them to farmers markets, if you have access, taking them to farms, understanding maybe have a school, community garden. I think that connection can be understood early. Where food comes from and the connection to whole real foods.
