To Dye For: The Documentary

This doc does a decent job of getting the info out there that there are artificial dyes that we should be aware of. It even starts naming them in the first few minutes and we also get a brief history of them and the FDA.

Then is somehow just stops and goes into story mode. One mother's story after another and dropping tid bits from academics and is mostly filler for the 94 minutes of running time.

You can easily skip through the stories and there is no data to back up anything. There is a blindfolded taste test which means nothing.

The bottom line is that other countries have banned some of these chemicals from food while the US has not. In the end it asks us to call/write politicians who are lobbied by the massive food companies, which has been mostly futile since the 1960's when some of these chemicals were created.

A poor documentary from a husband and wife team who are first time film makers.

The 50 reviews are all from 1 review accounts giving it 10 stars. If only the film makers put the same effort into making their film as they did creating fake profiles maybe this would have turned out better. 3/10 for the first 5 minutes. Nothing new after that.

I loved the film! I watch a lot of documentaries and this one was really well made, well thought out and intentional. I am a functional health practitioner, a mom of four children, and at least one of those has a severe food dye sensitivity. I could relate to so much of the film. I really appreciate the producers putting this out! Its truly a gift to our population. So many people don't realize that other countries have banned artifical food dyes. Education is a huge step towards change, and this film does just that! If your child has confusing or unexplained behavioral issues, I highly recommend that you watch this film!

At this point I really dont understand parents who dont know how artifical food, drink, plastic, pesticides are changing not only kids but sterilise adults. And still in 2025 everybody are shocked how much adhd, autism, mental problems are among young... people wake up absolute everything today is poisining us, at this point only your own home grown food is exceptable and eatable... not only kids are more sick from food, they are more sensitive after all vaccines they get from birth... this is gonna be first generation that will live shorter than their parents and its all because of food, pesticides, vaccines, water, poisend air..

As a european finance professional, my mind went to warren buffet watching this. Knowing some of his holdings in staple US pantry items, i can't understand the absolute disregard for the end customer. These chemicals are known to be harmful, and have been for decades, yet industrial lobbies are actively fighting to keep using them, knowing full well it's detrimental to the health of customers.

It's mind blowing to me, the level of carelessness and evil required as a company exec to go out of your way to fight to keep using cancer causing chemicals so your food can be brightly coloured. Insane.

Thankful cannot express how I feel that many people decided to create this film! I hope this film gets approved for Netflix, Hulu, and everywhere else because its message is vital! It is life or death that parents learn about how toxic these dyes are! I have first hand experience of watching my children lose their minds after Easter or Halloween candy, I wish I would have learned WHY sooner! It was the dye! I cannot tell you how many parent called me crazy when I eventually would deny my children foods or candies with dye, I wish they knew everything in this film! Cannot recommend this film enough!
