I am sure it is just the tip of the iceberg. We live in a toxic soup environment. Follow up said to wash all yellow fabrics and clothes before wearing.

I don't believe what the media has to say these days on any topic.

As my dad says, Living leads to dying. Yellow dye is toxic but green is not? Purple? What specifically makes yellow so much more toxic than any other dye?

A few years ago, eggs were gonna kill us all. You can't live life worrying about every single thing the media comes up with that's going to kill us. That's no way to live at all ...

I am with Skratchie. If you wait long enough the reports will change on just about anything they say.

Yup I agree. I remember the egg thing. I don't trust anything man has made because we are so imperfect. I'm sure if a dye didn't come from berries or some natural source like that it's toxic. But I'm not gonna worry about it or I'd worry about every little thing and be afraid to get out of bed in the morning. Ha!

We all choose to live our lives at whatever risk level we are willing to accept. If that means daring to wear, eat, or even sleep with yellow, so be it.

Still, our children need to be protected when in doubt. they tend to handle, chew, eat things that can be bad for them and if we hear something is bad, try hard to eliminate it from their daily lives as much as possible. I hate heating frozen vegetables in the plastic bags they come in. but they are for myself and hubby and we are old! just take care.
