The Dr. Hyman Show
Food dye, ADHD, and Corporate Lies: How Big Food Targets Your Kids | Vani Hari
09 Apr 2025
Are U.S. food companies cutting corners at the expense of your health? Vani Hari, known to many as the Food Babe, thinks so—and she’s spent over a decade sounding the alarm. In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, she shares why she believes many American products are still made with harmful additives and dyes, even though companies have found ways to remove them in versions sold abroad. In our conversation, she explains: Why she believes Kellogg’s and other U.S. brands aren’t doing enough to protect American consumers. The FDA loophole she says allows companies to self-approve food chemicals without oversight. How food dyes could be contributing to rising rates of behavioral issues in kids. The labeling gaps and industry tactics she says are keeping consumers in the dark. How everyday people can push back—and why she believes activism still works. Don’t miss this insightful episode!
