Is your family dying for color? We're diving into the world of RED dyes in our food supply. Did you know that Red Dye #3 has been linked to cancer in lab rats? And while there was a recent FDA ban on Red Dye #3, manufacturers have until January 2027 to eliminate it—and drug manufacturers have until 2028! That's years of continued exposure. And then there's Red Dye #40 or FD&C Red No. 40, a synthetic dye made from petroleum! And it's everywhere: dairy, sweets, cereal, juice, soda, and even cosmetics. The FDA approved it back in 1971, but it's been linked to hyperactivity in children, ADHD, and allergic reactions.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
