Food coloring is starting to become a suspiscious ingredient by toxicologists. We are living in a chemical world and this is part of it. Mind you, the titanium dioxide in the white isn't too shabby either. What I hate the most about food coloring is when I am really drunk and have a crap in the early morning, it takes me about 5 second to realise that I don't have a bleeding colon cancer ulcer, just a poisonous red muffin passing by... 5 years ago I made colored cakes for my kids. Now I rather make black rice and coconut vanilla pudding as confort break. Be nice to yourself, go get a real nice fat tahitian vanilla bean. The extract isn't even that.
