I’m sorry to sound paranoid, but I just wanted to say that new studies are showing that artificial dyes are aggravating ADD, ADHD, and autism symptoms, and so some scientists/pediatricians worry that the dyes could potentially cause those conditions in the first place. Further, when dyes are eliminated from children’s diets, they do better in school.
Now that I said my peace, I’d say to say that the cupcakes look very pretty!
No worries, Becky! I’ve read similar studies. I used the minimal amount & Charlie only had a small portion of one. I had to try it once and I was happy with the results!
Thanks for the info, I’ve come a long way to be a crunchy mama!
I know I sound paranoid! Plus, in this day and age, it’s impossible to avoid dyes completely. I just get so nervous about them since the number of children with autism seems to be on the rise.
