Saw the news about Kellogg dropping artificial dyes from their cereals by year end. On one hand, good. On the other, it feels a bit like polishing the rust off an engine that still needs a full rebuild. I’ve been trying to clean up my own diet for a while now, especially with the sema protocol.
You start digging into labels and realize how much stuff is just… there. Not necessarily harmful in a single dose, but what does it do over years? My body keeps a scorecard, and I’d bet yours does too.
Removing the dyes is a start, but it makes me wonder what else people are still missing when they pick up a box. Is it just the visible stuff, or are the sugars, the artificial sweeteners, the stabilizers, all still doing their own work in the background? It’s easy to focus on one thing and miss the rest. My take: it’s on us to read the labels.
Nobody is coming to save you from a bad ingredient list. The companies will do what they can get away with until enough people demand better. So, beyond the dyes, what are others looking out for that they think makes a real difference in these kinds of foods?
