Prop 65 is lambasted by vested interests, but as this video shows it pushes manufacturers to make their products less carcinogenic. Other Prop 65 videos include:
• Heavy Metals in Protein Powder Supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heavy-metals-in-protein-powder-supplements/)
• Nutritional Yeast to Prevent the Common Cold (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nutritional-yeast-to-prevent-the-common-cold/)
• Lead Contamination of Tea (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lead-contamination-of-tea/)

For more background on caramel coloring, see my previous video Is Caramel Color Carcinogenic? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-caramel-color-carcinogenic/).

There are other soda additives that are toxic too. See my 3-part series on phosphates:

• Phosphate Additives in Chicken (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/phosphate-additives-in-chicken/)

There are other coloring agents that are less than healthy: Artificial Food Colors and ADHD (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/artificial-food-colors-and-adhd/) and Seeing Red No. 3: Coloring to Dye For (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/seeing-red-no-3-coloring-to-dye-for/).
