  • Red Flags in Your Food: The Truth About Artificial Dyes - AI Podcast

    Red Flags in Your Food: The Truth About Artificial Dyes - AI Podcast
    May 7 2025
    Story at-a-glance
    • Over 36,000 U.S. processed foods contain Red 40, a petroleum-based dye, while 8,000 products include Red 3, a known carcinogen that causes thyroid tumors in animals
    • Artificial food dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6 and Blue 1 are linked to behavioral issues in children, including hyperactivity, restlessness and attention difficulties
    • The FDA banned Red 3 from cosmetics in 1990 but only banned it from food in January 2025; food manufacturers have until 2027 to remove it completely
    • Europe requires warning labels on foods with certain dyes, prompting companies to use natural alternatives, while the same products in the U.S. continue using petroleum-based dyes without warnings
    • Parents can protect their families by reading ingredient lists, choosing dye-free alternatives, replacing processed foods with whole foods and using natural colorants like turmeric and beet juice

  • The Link Between Poor Oral Health and Chronic Pain in Women - AI Podcast

    The Link Between Poor Oral Health and Chronic Pain in Women - AI Podcast
    May 7 2025
    Story at-a-glance
    • Women with chronic migraines and body-wide pain were far more likely to have poor oral health, with over half falling into the lowest oral health categories in a new study
    • Specific oral bacteria, including Mycoplasma salivarium and Gardnerella vaginalis, were significantly more common in women who reported frequent migraines and widespread pain
    • Harmful oral microbes don’t stay in your mouth; once gum tissue is inflamed, these bacteria enter your bloodstream, disrupt the immune system, and trigger systemic pain
    • A less diverse oral microbiome was found in women with migraines and gut pain, making it easier for pain-triggering bacteria to dominate and inflame nerve pathways
    • Inflammatory chemicals produced by oral bacteria — like calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) — are directly involved in migraine and fibromyalgia, showing how poor oral hygiene can set off whole-body pain responses
