One deadly dog food ingredient you should know about...

Yellow Dye #6

This sunset yellow dye lags only slightly behind Yellow Dye #5 in
annual use, with 4,156,408 pounds certified by the FDA in 2005. It is
used mainly in beverages (including, hot chocolate), candy, desserts
and sausage.

Like its lemon yellow cohort, Yellow Dye #6 is known to cause
- allergic reactions
- intolerance reactions
- gastric upset
- vomiting
- hives
- and skin swelling.

Yellow Dye #6 is one of the colorants that the Hyperactive
Children's Support Group (HACSG) recommends eliminating from the
diet of children.

The Public Citizen Health Research Group lists
- allergies
- kidney tumors
- and chromosomal damage

..among the toxicity findings for Yellow Dye #6.

This coloring additive is currently banned in both Norway and
Sweden, 2 of the most-forward thinking countries in the world.
