Last I looked at it the support for that claim looked shaky. Can't we just use plant-based natural reds? No need to grind bugs when you can grind beets.

Can't we just have beige food?

You can definitely have that. Have mine.

The claim is dubious.

Anecdotally, I stopped drinking mio with red 40 and switched to something dye free, and I'm much better regulated.

But anecdotes aren't data. YMMV.
