can legally address.

The Trump administration says the move to eliminate these synthetic
dyes from the food supply by the end of next
year could mark a major step forward in the drive
to make America healthy again. Joining us now in the
KA Common Spirit Health Hotline to discuss board certified internest
and Regenerative medicine specialist doctor Michael Aziz, Doctor, Thanks for
coming on Colorado's Morning News. I want to get your
initial medical reaction to this initiative to get rid of
(00:38):
these dies out of our food supply.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Good morning, and thanks so much for having me. I
think definitely it's a step in the right direction to
remove all those petroleum dies from our food. We've been
subject to a very bad experiment for the last fifty years.
But I think we have a long way to go
because we have so many food additives that have to
be removed from our food supply.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
So why are these dies used in our food to
begin with? Is there any type of benefit to them
besides just having the more pleasant color and making it
look a little better to eat.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
It's a gimmick from the food companies for us to
buy the food. It's added to m and ms to
make them more bright for children, for the cereals to
be more appealing for them, for the mom to buy them,
even to oranges from Florida to make the oranges more
orange in color. So it's just a gammick for us
to buy this food and make us addicted to it.
(01:30):
And unfortunately it's a bad experiment.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Doctor sounded off that you say there's worse things in
the food supply than these dyes. What are those things
that have you more concerned?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Well, you know, in my books I talk in the
Perfect Ten Diet, The Ages Revolution, I talk about nit writes,
which is very very other chemicals that are added to
process meat, bacon, sausage, and with the keito approach that
people are following in low car people are eating a
lot of nitrites. And now we have an epidemic of
coling cancer in America in men below the age of six,
(02:00):
and we have to reduce that and we have to
get rid of all the nitrites. We also know about
trans fat. Trans Fats are the hydrogenated oil that are
present in the fast food industry. In the French Fries,
there are plastic fat moderin. I cannot believe it's not butter.
All that stuff clogged the audreyes. And we have human
studies on nitrites, We have human studies on trans fats,
(02:21):
but when it comes to the petroleum dyes, we only
have animal studies on mice and rats. So we have
a long way to go before we eliminate all the
chemical small.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Food looking out phasing these food dyes. Doctor, do we
currently know the health risks of what these have been?
How long have they been in our food supply and
have we actually seen exactly what they can do to
our bodies?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Sure? The petroleum dyes have been added for the last
fifty years to our food to make the food more appealing,
and it's been going on, and thank god we have
now RSK. If we didn't have him, we'd be eating
that stuff for another fifty years. You know, ADHD and
autism are present in children at about probably eleven percent,
and there's been a thousand percent rise, while ADHD is
(03:03):
genetic environmental factors about four percent play a role. But
trans fats we've been eating modern and trans fats from
the fast food for a long time, and nitribes it's
been used for one hundreds of years to preserve all
this process meet. So I think it's a step in
the right direction that we're removing those dies. Will take
a year, but I think we have a long way
(03:24):
to go. And I was another radio interview earlier this
morning and my concern and not just the food, because
nobody should eat process food. My concern is talinol and ibprofen.
People have chronic pain who are taking those medicines. Those
types of dye are also added to the over counter
medications cost Europe and pain medicine.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'm curious could this have another effect? When I first
heard about this, because you point out that a lot
of times these dyes were put in to make the
food more appealing. Could it have the opposite effector a
positi effect, in that if you see what fruit loops
actually look like, would you actually want to eat them?
And it makes you change your dietary habits.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yes, companies change the colors to more natural colors using
fruit juices. It was less appealing to consumers and they
bought less of it. I mean, think about it. If
you see the oranges from Florida and they're less bright
and they're not so shiny, you will say, oh, this
orange may not look so good. I don't want to
buy it. So people are probably not going to be so.
But people should be aware that their health is more concerned.
(04:21):
Is out of outmost importance, and that should be their priority.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So, like you mentioned, they'll take about a year in
order to phase out these food dies. But is there
a way that we can try to avoid them right now?
Are they kind of unavoidable with being in so many
different products.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I think people should emit processed food period. They should
eat eggs, cheese, all the things I talk about in
my books, and they should eat natural food. They should
avoid cereals, they should avoid all this chocolate made with
vibrant colors. But I think again, my concern is the mettersine.
People with chronic pain, who have neck pain and back
pain and always taking tar all or people with headaches
(04:58):
migraines are always taking those met medisone and it's just
bad thing. It's a bad experiment.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Final question for you, because the honest conversation I think
American needs to have too. Besides the getting these things,
these chemicals out is honestly to your point, what they consume.
But that seems like it's an awful heavy lift when
you try to tell people to do this, because at
least many Americans don't like to be told what to do,
what they can eat, how they eat, and the like.
And we have to have that honest conversation as well,
and a lot of administrations have run up against it.
(05:26):
I know there is a big controversy when Michelle Obama
wanted to plant a garden at the White House to
eat healthier. So how do you overcome those objections? I
saying you can't be for lack of a better term,
the what the from animal house, fat, drunk, and stupid.
You can't go through life doing that expect to have
no dilatarious effects from that.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I think what I talk about in my book that
the lifespan the United States is an almost in the
western world that's seventy six. Well, countries like Monaco are
living ton II. In South Korea they're living to eighty eight.
And there is a trend right now people are interested
in longevity. They're interested and having a healthier life, to
live longer and to live healthier. And that's why we
(06:04):
have to educate the public with all kinds of information
about the dangers of process food, the dangers of diet,
the dangers of trans fat, the dangers of chemicals, the
dangers of low carbon keto diet with all the chemicals,
the artificial sweetness. We haven't talked about that artificial sweetness
have building to heart attack and stroke, and they're everywhere.
They're also if you're trying to eat healthy and you think, oh,
(06:27):
I'm doing the right thing. I'm following the squito diet
and I'm eating this and this and this, but you're
eating also the slow carb shake with soy protein isolate
which has nitrite. And unfortunately, people judge their success sometimes
by how many pounds they're lost on their bassroom scale,
but they also don't know that they could have shave
a few years off their lives.
