Two new bills are on the congressional docket that would ban high- fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and certain chemical coloring additives from the United States food supply.
Introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina (R-Fla.), the Do or Dye Act and the Stop Spoonfuls of Fake Sugar Act would restrict the use of toxic dyes like Red No. 40 and Yellow Nos. 5 and 6 from food, as well as prohibit toxic HFCS from being used in foods.
