"When you tear open a pack of rainbow candy or sip on a neon-blue sports drink,
you're getting more than just sugar and flavor. Those bright, bold colors come
from artificial food dyes (lab-made chemicals added to give foods their color),
and they've been in our food for over 100 years. These synthetic colors show up
in about one in five packaged foods and drinks sold in the U.S. today, but
their story is far more complicated than most people realize."
