Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2: I'm Boston News Radio.
Speaker 3: All right, we are in our fourth and final hour,
Speaker 3: and we're talking about an issue that we've never talked
Speaker 3: about on Nightside. We're in our eighteenth year, and to
Speaker 3: the best of my knowledge, we have never devoted an
Speaker 3: hour to this. This is a subject that has been
Speaker 3: out there, heard about it, never focused on it. By
Speaker 3: the way, one of my most trusted correspondents just sent
Speaker 3: me a text. For some time, certain fresh oranges have dull,
Speaker 3: collared skin and have been dyed for years. I learned
Speaker 3: that in Wayhi years ago. Well guess what look I
Speaker 3: like oranges. Thank you very much for that information. I
Speaker 3: like oranges, and they taste great, okay, and they're a
Speaker 3: great source of vitamin C. I love the pulp and
Speaker 3: all of that. I love those oranges that are seedless
Speaker 3: and all of that. I don't need to have them,
Speaker 3: you know, have the the the color that is artificially
Speaker 3: increased to make it, you know, as orange as you
Speaker 3: can make it. I don't care what color it is,
Speaker 3: as it long as it tastes good, that's all. And
Speaker 3: I certainly, you know, I think we have we've been
Speaker 3: conditioned in this country that if we see a bag
Speaker 3: of oranges and unless they are the perfectly shaped or
Speaker 3: the I think we've all been conditioned for that, To
Speaker 3: be really honest with you and I and I think
Speaker 3: that that we should have smartened up about this a
Speaker 3: long time ago. Again, never interviewed our FK Junior. So
Speaker 3: this has got nothing to do with you know, he's
Speaker 3: a friend of mine. I've interviewed many members of the
Speaker 3: Kennedy family over the years. He is. He's not someone
Speaker 3: I know, not someone ever talked with. But he's stuck
Speaker 3: with this issue and you got to give him credit
Speaker 3: for it, as well as doctor Marty McCarey, now the
Speaker 3: FDA commissioner. And you got to give President Trump some
Speaker 3: credit on this. And I want to hear some of
Speaker 3: my progressive friends and maybe I won't, but I will
Speaker 3: be disappointed if I don't, although maybe not surprised. I
Speaker 3: want some of you to step up to the bar
Speaker 3: and say, look, I don't like Donald You can tell
Speaker 3: me that you don't like Donald Trump, but this is
Speaker 3: something that you have believed in for years, and it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter under what administration that gets accomplished. But if
Speaker 3: we get these dies, these orange dyes, these red dyes,
Speaker 3: these green dyes, these blue dyes, all of these dyes
Speaker 3: out of our food chain. That's a good thing and
Speaker 3: that's something that all of us should agree upon. And
Speaker 3: if it was President obamalled it up, who pulled it
Speaker 3: off of President Biden, I would want my Republicans to
Speaker 3: belly to the bar and tell me, guess what, you
Speaker 3: gotta give them credit? This was this, This is this
Speaker 3: is make America healthy again. Got a couple of sebbies
Speaker 3: here from RFK Junior because I want him to get
Speaker 3: the glory in this one and get him to get
Speaker 3: him to credit. This is cut number twenty three. Please
Speaker 3: Rob if you do cut twenty three.
Speaker 4: And my uncle was present three percent of American kids
Speaker 4: at chronic disease. Today it's around the sixty percent.
Speaker 3: And these are a broad category the ones.
Speaker 4: That already mentioned like ADYHD, neurological disorders ADD EIGHTYHD, speech delay,
Speaker 4: language lay ticks to red syndrome, arcolepsy, ASD, and autism.
Speaker 4: All of these are injuries that I never heard of
Speaker 4: when I was a kid. They were not part of
Speaker 4: the nomenclature, they weren't part of the dialogue.
Speaker 3: And there's a huge expense associated with this. The next cut,
Speaker 3: rob cut twenty four.
Speaker 4: There was zero spent in this country treating chronic disease
Speaker 4: when my uncle was president. Today is about one point
Speaker 4: eight trillion dollars annually. Is bankrupting our nation. Seventy four
Speaker 4: percent of American kids cannot qualify for military service. Oh,
Speaker 4: how are we going to maintain our global leadership with
Speaker 4: such a sick population?
Speaker 3: And then one other final quote, this is RFK cut
Speaker 3: twenty five. Up.
Speaker 4: We have all these autoimmune diseases, these exotic diseases, and
Speaker 4: again I never heard of juvenile diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, loupis,
Speaker 4: Cron's disease, and one hundred others that were just unknown
Speaker 4: when I was a kid. I never knew anybody with
Speaker 4: a peanut allergy. I never knew anybody with a food allergy. Well,
Speaker 4: I do five of my seven kids of allergies. I
Speaker 4: never knew of anybody who had. I have a very
Speaker 4: small number of children with asthma, but that has exploded
Speaker 4: as well today, and our fertility is dropping dramatically. Teenagers
Speaker 4: in this country today have the same as the hostrung
Speaker 4: levels as sixty eight year old men.
Speaker 3: Are our girls are.
Speaker 4: Reaching puberty six years early, from ten to fourteen years old,
Speaker 4: and this is a This is existential for our country
Speaker 4: and we have to address it.
Speaker 3: It has been addressed by the Food and Drug Administration
Speaker 3: and be Health and Human Services and get these phony
Speaker 3: food dyes, petroleum based food dies, get rid of them.
Speaker 3: We have a lot of sound here that I can play,
Speaker 3: but I want the sound I want to hear from
Speaker 3: all of you. Let me go to Jennifer in Brockton. Jennifer, welcome,
Speaker 3: you are next on night Side. This is something I
Speaker 3: think we should celebrate.
Speaker 5: With you.
Speaker 6: I'm not a fan of Trump, not a fan of
Speaker 6: our FK. However, they deserve a big round applause on.
Speaker 3: You know this.
Speaker 6: We've been aware of this. We've been I have two kids.
Speaker 6: We've been looking at the labels of a sense I
Speaker 6: can remember, and you know, shopping is difficult for me
Speaker 6: because I look at I check everything. But you know
Speaker 6: it's not just the food ayes. I'm glad that they're
Speaker 6: focused on that. I think that's a great place to start,
Speaker 6: and it's right there. Everyone can see a plane and simple,
Speaker 6: but there's a lot of deception on the labels. I'm
Speaker 6: hoping that they get to some of the other issues too,
Speaker 6: like there's a lot of ingredients. I don't know if
Speaker 6: you ever heard of the term excito talksin.
Speaker 3: I've read some. I've read some of the labels like you,
Speaker 3: and it's almost as if were like the little mice
Speaker 3: that are on the treadmills. We're all working. We got
Speaker 3: to get everything accomplished. They know we don't read the labels.
Speaker 3: Because most of us don't have time to read the labels.
Speaker 3: We rely on government to really to read the labels.
Speaker 3: I will take Robin F. Kennedy Junior's guidance on this
Speaker 3: because I think he understands the issues, and he may
Speaker 3: be a buch to the beat of a different drama
Speaker 3: in many respects. His voice sounds a little weird, but
Speaker 3: he's dealing with some sort of a condition or a disease.
Speaker 3: We need to listen to what he says when he
Speaker 3: talks about this. It's a simple It's as simple as that.
Speaker 3: And and I read labels like you do, I probably
Speaker 3: have less of an understanding. I don't even know. I
Speaker 3: kin't even pronounce these chemicals.
Speaker 6: Right, like malted extra and not me seems scary they're
Speaker 6: really terrible. You know, we all know about MSG. Everyone's
Speaker 6: sort of MSG. It's it's like a flavor enhancer, and
Speaker 6: when foods touch the spoil, it helps it keep a
Speaker 6: good flavor longer. So I don't like that because it's deceptive,
Speaker 6: and I don't want to be paying top top dollar
Speaker 6: for my food only to know that it's filled with
Speaker 6: all this nasty stuff. But like, I don't know if
Speaker 6: you ever notice on the label, Dan, like this is
Speaker 6: something that really likes. Shocked me. The term natural flavor
Speaker 6: have you used?
Speaker 3: I have no idea what that means. I mean natural flavor. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think the implication is, well, it's it's the flavor
Speaker 3: of whatever this and it hasn't been adulterated, but I
Speaker 3: suspected it probably has go ahead.
Speaker 6: It is. I had a research it myself because I
Speaker 6: couldn't believe it, but it is. It's the annual glands. Yes, yes,
Speaker 6: because it supposedly has a tangy like sour type flavor,
Speaker 6: and they use it for like vanilla flavoring when they
Speaker 6: don't want to use like vanilla, the extensive raspberry flavoring,
Speaker 6: strawberry flavoring, and ganala, those three which you know, and
Speaker 6: children's foods and you know, we all love strawberries raspberry vanilla.
Speaker 6: So yeah, yeah, so you want to make sure you
Speaker 6: see vanilla bean specs or whatever if you can avoid
Speaker 6: natural flavor, that's what that's what that is.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, yeah, at this point, boy, I will never
Speaker 3: forget the definitions.
Speaker 6: I think it's called cassium, a cassium caesium something like that.
Speaker 6: Like you could look it up and you'd find the information.
Speaker 3: But you know, I'll get I'll get my crack staff
Speaker 3: on that.
Speaker 6: I'm sure. There's so much more too, you know, like
Speaker 6: and it's not just it's not just the food, it's
Speaker 6: also the food colorings are in the lotions. You know,
Speaker 6: we we try to go natural all across the bowld everything,
Speaker 6: you know, medications, we're aware, like you know, they can
Speaker 6: use vegetable coloring for the food coloring if you need to,
Speaker 6: you know, decorate a cake or whatever. You need food
Speaker 6: coloring for whatever you need it for. So there's definitely
Speaker 6: ways to do it. It's just costs more money, but
Speaker 6: I think people will be willing to pay a little
Speaker 6: more for health. And you know, I think he makes
Speaker 6: a lot of good points too about you know, the
Speaker 6: differences between Europe and America this disease.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the statistics, which I haven't read tonight,
Speaker 3: are astonishing. I mean, you know, I believe it, and
Speaker 3: we've all seen I believe we all know these numbers.
Speaker 3: And you know, look, as I say, I'm on the
Speaker 3: wrong side of fifty I'm sure that I grew up.
Speaker 3: I know that right now. I've improved my I'm with you.
Speaker 6: Yeah right, I'm on the other side of fifty two.
Speaker 6: And I grew We grew up on kool Aid. My
Speaker 6: mother told me that with juice. Yeah, I mean I had.
Speaker 7: At all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I wasn't much on kool Aid, to be
Speaker 3: honest with you, But I'll tell you this. I now
Speaker 3: drink more water. I'm on the Awaken one Eddie diet.
Speaker 3: I lost thirty five pounds, did it naturally. There was
Speaker 3: no pills involved. I did it naturally through exercise and
Speaker 3: learning how to eat. And I've kept it off for
Speaker 3: ten years. I got to tell you, I don't know
Speaker 3: if I would be alive today if I had not
Speaker 3: lost thirty five pounds with Awake on one Eddie.
Speaker 6: And I don't need to be killed great too, well,
Speaker 6: I mean Jim.
Speaker 3: You know, I lived weights, you know. Now, look, I
Speaker 3: played a lot of sports as a kid. I ran
Speaker 3: a lot in my twenties and thirties, ran the roads.
Speaker 3: And then what happened. You know, kids came along, they
Speaker 3: got involved in sports. Now you're a spectator. You're driving
Speaker 3: them from hockey rink to hockey rink, or softball field
Speaker 3: to softball field. Uh and what are you doing? You're
Speaker 3: you're at the hockey rink and you're starving. You grab
Speaker 3: a pepsi and a piece of slice, a piece or
Speaker 3: two slices of yeah, you know, and then all of
Speaker 3: a sudden you look in the mirror and say, wait
Speaker 3: a sec, what happened to me? But part of that
Speaker 3: also is the stuff we're talking about here. So look,
Speaker 3: I'm delighted that you called, and I'm delighted that you
Speaker 3: don't like Trump, but you're you're you have enough integrity
Speaker 3: to acknowledge that this might not have happened. Look, Joe
Speaker 3: Biden had four years of this. I think that the
Speaker 3: Biden administration did, to their credit eliminate one of these dies.
Speaker 3: But one let me just make let me make sure
Speaker 3: under the Biden administration, let me give him credit. Under
Speaker 3: the Biden administration, the FDA has already mandated that by
Speaker 3: January fifteen, two thousand and seven, a being on red
Speaker 3: dye number three found in candy, desserts and some medications.
Speaker 3: So we'll give Biden credit for that. But the Trump
Speaker 3: team has eliminated a promise to eliminate eight blue one
Speaker 3: and two, green three, red dye, forty yellow numbers five
Speaker 3: and six, and citrus red number two. So thanks exactly
Speaker 3: the caller I'm looking for tonight because guess what, you're
Speaker 3: an open minded person who's willing to say, Hey, something
Speaker 3: good was accomplished by an administration that you didn't vote
Speaker 3: for and that you don't support. Uh, And I would hope.
Speaker 6: That everything like that, you know, and we wouldn't have
Speaker 6: half the problems we have.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, this is one step, and.
Speaker 6: I have to say something on that. Can I say
Speaker 6: something on that note? Just something I was really disappointed
Speaker 6: with this week the President his address on Easter to
Speaker 6: the country was just her horrible, you know, we need
Speaker 6: to do that.
Speaker 3: So much stuff out. I didn't see it. What did
Speaker 3: he say that was that bothered you?
Speaker 6: Oh my god, it was just insight.
Speaker 3: I didn't see it. So that I'm asking you out.
Speaker 3: I'm asking you out of total ignorance. I'm not challenging.
Speaker 3: I just want to know what he said.
Speaker 6: It was a good long paragraph that was just horrible
Speaker 6: insults at half of America if the liberal judges. And
Speaker 6: then it was like in God bless, how do you
Speaker 6: start it again? Yeah? I mean I could pull it up,
Speaker 6: but it would take a minute or two.
Speaker 3: No problem. I'll take you tell like you tell a
Speaker 3: somebody who's honest. And I appreciate Jen. Thank you so much,
Speaker 3: great God, thanks, You're welcome. All right. We got one
Speaker 3: line at six one seven two five four ten thirty,
Speaker 3: and I got two at six one seven nine three
Speaker 3: ten thirty. I think this is a great day. I
Speaker 3: don't want to over emphasize it, but as somebody who
Speaker 3: has a two and a half year old soon to
Speaker 3: be three year old grandson, let's you know, I would
Speaker 3: hope that that this is going to make his life
Speaker 3: better and and little kids who are coming along, even
Speaker 3: those who haven't been born yet, that they will not
Speaker 3: have to put up with some of this junk in
Speaker 3: their food. Light these lines up, folks, this is one
Speaker 3: that we should celebrate. The big food companies have fooled
Speaker 3: us for too long. Back on Night Side, the only
Speaker 3: line is six one.
Speaker 4: Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the phone. It's gonna go
Speaker 3: to Tim and Ruber and Tim, I celebrate what's happened today.
Speaker 3: I hope you do as well.
Speaker 1: I do. This red dye thing is too much.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, they fooled us for too long, you know,
Speaker 3: and it's sort of something that none of us took seriously. Obviously.
Speaker 3: Robert F. Kennedy Junr. Has been focused on this for
Speaker 3: a long time, and thank god that he has, because
Speaker 3: he's he's prevailed on this and I know that that
Speaker 3: a lot of people make fun of him. I don't
Speaker 3: understand that, but that's okay. He was right in this
Speaker 3: issue and we will be a healthier country as as
Speaker 3: a result, in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Right, you said you had an orange today. I had
Speaker 1: two oranges today. Like orange.
Speaker 3: I love an app I'm pretty simple. I'm an apple
Speaker 3: and orange guy. And every once in a while, when
Speaker 3: I see grapes purple or green grapes on sale, they
Speaker 3: get really expensive this time of year. I love strawberries,
Speaker 3: I love blueberries, I love fruit. To be honest with you,
Speaker 3: and I'm a vegetable guy too. I mean it's you know,
Speaker 3: they're the best. They're the best for you. I wish
Speaker 3: I could function on just fruits and vegetables, but yeah,
Speaker 3: you gotta. I had a great dinner tonight. We we
Speaker 3: had chicken and rice and broccoli, uh here on Sunday night.
Speaker 3: And I put some of it in the fridge and
Speaker 3: I warmed it up, put it in the micro way
Speaker 3: tonight and it tasted just as good tonight as it
Speaker 3: did on Sunday night. Chicken with some brown rice. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of bread. And I had my
Speaker 3: best meal of the last two or three nights. To
Speaker 3: be honest with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to tell you the truth, I've been vegetarian for
Speaker 1: fifty years.
Speaker 3: Really, Now, when you say vegetarian, do you mean you've
Speaker 3: never eaten meat in fifty years?
Speaker 1: That's right? Not red meat, not chicken, not poultry, nothing.
Speaker 3: Really. So like if you go to a ball game,
Speaker 3: no hamburger, no hot dog.
Speaker 1: Nothing, no, no, you must.
Speaker 3: Have an iron will What made you decide that? Tim?
Speaker 3: Was it just out?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I'll try and tell you real quick. I was reading
Speaker 1: a sports Illustrate in nineteen seventy. That's when I stopped
Speaker 1: and there was an article on pro running backs and
Speaker 1: track guys. Right, I played football, baseball and ran tracked. Anyhow,
Speaker 1: the top guys like guys like the guys from Dallas
Speaker 1: was again the big running.
Speaker 3: Back from Dallas, Emmitt Smith.
Speaker 1: Emitt Emmitt Smith. Anyhow, they stopped eating me because they
Speaker 1: thought they were quicker off the mock. That's why he's
Speaker 1: basically stopped anyhow, And I eat a lot of cereal.
Speaker 1: You know, this is a very educational show to night.
Speaker 1: I didn't know half this stuff. But I'm a big
Speaker 1: mashed potato man. Vegetables and vegetables fruit. I don't eat
Speaker 1: no sugar to speak of.
Speaker 3: Boy, I'll tell you that. That's a lot of discipline.
Speaker 3: That's that's that's great. You got to be in great shape.
Speaker 3: If you have done that, you must have kept your
Speaker 3: weight down and all of that. And you know how
Speaker 3: old were you in nineteen seventy How when you made
Speaker 3: this decision? How old were you?
Speaker 1: All Right? I was on fifty one, so what was
Speaker 1: I nineteen nineteen?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think, boy, that's that's a great decision
Speaker 3: for a nineteen year old to make because back in
Speaker 3: those days, guys who were nineteen years old, they were
Speaker 3: you know, they were looking to get a burger, go
Speaker 3: to the barbecue. Hey yeah, just think of all the
Speaker 3: all the bad stuff that you avoided. Tim, and.
Speaker 1: I graduated nineteen sixty nine. I waited one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty five. Right now, I wait won forty seven.
Speaker 3: Unbelievable. Well, that's testimony to what you're doing. You're on
Speaker 3: a you know, on on the best diet that anybody
Speaker 3: could have. Congratulations, Okay, I look forward to seeing you
Speaker 3: on Sunday up at the brunch.
Speaker 1: Okay, hopefully, I can't wait. Looking forward to it.
Speaker 3: Right back at you, Tim, We'll see you on Sunday. Okay,
Speaker 3: thanks so much. A Hi, Dan, You're welcome. I'll tell
Speaker 3: you I get a lot of great callers, and I'm
Speaker 3: looking for more callers than this one. This is a victory. Now. Look,
Speaker 3: if if you're I don't want to politicize this, but
Speaker 3: you've got to give Donald Trump's administration credit for taking
Speaker 3: on These are big cereal companies that use a lot
Speaker 3: of this die stuff. Okay, if you know, you know,
Speaker 3: I learned a lot about it today. You know, We've talked
Speaker 3: about it, But why do you need phony colors in
Speaker 3: your foods? You either like the taste of the food
Speaker 3: or you don't. The color doesn't give it any taste.
Speaker 3: The color only psychologically plays with your brain. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 3: ten thirty or six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
Speaker 3: I think this is such an important story, and I'm
Speaker 3: surprised don't disappoint me. This is one that I don't
Speaker 3: care if you're a Democrat or Republican, conservative, liberal, progressive, libertarian, independent, unenrolled,
Speaker 3: or whatever. This is a victory for everyone, and it's
Speaker 3: particularly a victory for young people who have kids, or
Speaker 3: from those of us who might have a grandchild or two.
Speaker 3: This is this is a day that should be celebrated.
Speaker 3: And I hope you agree with me, and if you don't,
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed, to be honest with you. Back on Nightside,
Speaker 3: light them up right back after this.
Speaker 8: You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z,
Speaker 8: Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3: For those of you who have just joined us, we
Speaker 3: are talking about a development that has really taking place
Speaker 3: in the last couple of days in which the Trump administration,
Speaker 3: in the person of Health and Human Services Secretary of
Speaker 3: Robin F. Kennedy Junior, and the new FDA Commissioner Marty
Speaker 3: McCarey have announced their decision to remove synthetic petroleum based
Speaker 3: food dies and replace them with natural food based dies.
Speaker 3: I don't even know why you need any dies at all.
Speaker 3: If there's a product that somehow someone mentioned earlier, I
Speaker 3: guess it was. I think it was Sheldon from Sharon
Speaker 3: Last Hour said that they were using the red dye
Speaker 3: to make Mascarino cherries look more red. I mean really, uh,
Speaker 3: and they're putting this garbage in our food and our food.
Speaker 3: Next up is if you want to join us. You
Speaker 3: know the numbers ted and mauled and ted. You were
Speaker 3: next on Knights. I appreciate you holding through the news.
Speaker 3: Your next on nightside Ted, go right ahead.
Speaker 9: Hey Dan A long time.
Speaker 8: I was a little out of pocket today and I
Speaker 8: knew that RFK would do this, But I'm so is this.
Speaker 8: I'm very cynical because I think the agriculture and the
Speaker 8: oil lobby and the big egg is going to come
Speaker 8: after this. That's listen. I'm a little younger than you.
Speaker 8: Remember when we were a kid, you would have the
Speaker 8: sugar bowl on the table for breakfast, you push on
Speaker 8: your that was, but it's it's like it's gone to
Speaker 8: such a point. Do you ever think you're gonna eat
Speaker 8: something you get a different taste. About a year ago,
Speaker 8: my daughter comes over the house and she's grown and
Speaker 8: she brings grapes. And I'm a gluten free diabetics. I
Speaker 8: really am kept with my diet like you. I lost
Speaker 8: fifty pounds years ago. I've kept it off. So I
Speaker 8: go to eat this grape. It's a freaking cotton candy grape.
Speaker 8: I spit it out. So what is this youse? It's
Speaker 8: caught a grape. Shouldn't taste like cotton candy. And that's
Speaker 8: where I get like if you go to My problem
Speaker 8: too is when people go to Europe like I'm gluten free.
Speaker 8: I worked in the beer industry forever. That did not
Speaker 8: exist years ago. That's all spraying the wheat and all
Speaker 8: that stuff. Nobody had SEAIAC disease. I was just in
Speaker 8: the hospital for two weeks on off because of stomach issues,
Speaker 8: and I just people go to Europe and they say
Speaker 8: it's so, you know, it's great, you can eat up
Speaker 8: and down Italy and be fine. But then somebody said
Speaker 8: this to me yesterday about the food diet. Well, that's socialism.
Speaker 8: You know, we have a right to eat our food.
Speaker 8: And you know, let's face it, a lot of the
Speaker 8: Trump voters aren't the healthiest of people. I think it's
Speaker 8: great they're doing this. I just wanted to now, does
Speaker 8: this does this have to stay in place for his
Speaker 8: for the rest of his term or can this be revoked.
Speaker 3: As I as I understand it, and you know, I've
Speaker 3: tried to read as much on it today. Basically I'm
Speaker 3: looking at an article out of USA today eight artificial
Speaker 3: dies will be phased out, not should be phased out,
Speaker 3: will be phased out of US food supply health sector.
Speaker 3: Off k Junior says, this is this is.
Speaker 8: Uh, you know what over how many years? Three years,
Speaker 8: four years.
Speaker 3: Two years, two years, two years, two years.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what's what's the natural based died? Because obviously
Speaker 8: the oil industry wants a petroleum based died like I
Speaker 8: don't like.
Speaker 3: Sorry, not my understanding, and I'll answer that question. My
Speaker 3: understanding is that, as a matter of fact, I think
Speaker 3: that McCarey can answer that for you. Since you asked
Speaker 3: that question. Okay, I'm gonna we're going to play. This
Speaker 3: is doctor Marty mc mccarrey. He's the head of the
Speaker 3: Food and Drug Administration. He's been on our show. He's
Speaker 3: a he's a surgeon at Johns Hopkins in Maryland, in Baltimore,
Speaker 3: a trendsplant surgeon, as I understand it, obviously a pretty
Speaker 3: smart guy. This is he's now the head of the
Speaker 3: FDA and he is shoulder to shoulder with RFK on this.
Speaker 3: This is cut number twenty nine. I want is this
Speaker 3: actually this SoundBite actually answers your questions? So let's let's
Speaker 3: hear it rob Cut twenty nine.
Speaker 10: For companies that are currently using petroleum based red dye,
Speaker 10: try watermelon juice or beat juice. For companies currently combining
Speaker 10: petroleum based yellow chemical and red dyes together, tri carrot juice.
Speaker 10: The FDA is also announcing plans today to authorize four
Speaker 10: additional natural color additives using natural ingredients in the coming weeks,
Speaker 10: while also accelerating the review and approval of other natural
Speaker 10: ingredient colors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean, I think this is for real.
Speaker 3: And by the way you talked about sugar, I want
Speaker 3: you to listen to what OURFK had to say about
Speaker 3: sugar and then I'll get your response cut twenty six
Speaker 3: as give.
Speaker 4: Me this diabetes crisis. When I was a kid, I
Speaker 4: always say this, a typical pediatrician would see one case
Speaker 4: of diabetes in his lifetime. He is one out of
Speaker 4: every three kids that walk through his office door. And
Speaker 4: our most reason study from Mania of American teams, it's
Speaker 4: half our old population.
Speaker 3: This is that essential.
Speaker 4: We are spending as much on mi diochondrial disorders like
Speaker 4: diabetes as we spend on our military budget. We can't
Speaker 4: continue to exist like this. And the you know, the
Speaker 4: problem is industry is making money. I'm keeping us sick.
Speaker 3: So in the innsity of questioned ted, there's a couple
Speaker 3: of the points that you raise, which which are good points.
Speaker 3: And by the way, I think it's pretty clear that
Speaker 3: that RFK Junior, along with doctor McCarey uh that they
Speaker 3: have prevailed and this is going to happen. And they're
Speaker 3: putting a time limit by the end of next year,
Speaker 3: so it's less than two years. Well to be.
Speaker 8: Fare RFK like just like Bernie Sanders, love him or
Speaker 8: hate him, he's always said the same thing when r
Speaker 8: f K and I've said this to people oh no Trump,
Speaker 8: I go, no, he's going after this stuff. He loves
Speaker 8: this stuff. It's gonna happen. And the sugar thing is
Speaker 8: I try to go completely sugar free once and the
Speaker 8: hitting sugar is in food evenfoo do you think is good?
Speaker 8: You got to read labels and it's hard. And of
Speaker 8: course he's writing diabetes. I have friends who have pre diabetes.
Speaker 8: They don't take care of themselves. But the other thing
Speaker 8: is to do that. You also, like, as a diabetic,
Speaker 8: influent dependent person, I cannot get the insulin I need
Speaker 8: because of the ozepic craze because the companies obviously would
Speaker 8: rather sell to somebody for cash and somebody like me
Speaker 8: who's going to go through insurance. So you got to work,
Speaker 8: you know, you get to you guys know this is
Speaker 8: always as you peel the onion back, there's always stuff
Speaker 8: and there's always compromise. I think, listen, I've said this
Speaker 8: to you before, a cult. I have not voted for
Speaker 8: either major candidate, and the last three elections I write
Speaker 8: people in. But that said, the person that wins is
Speaker 8: my president. I don't want to see them fails. That's stupid,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean? So that people he's in
Speaker 8: office for at least a few more years. We're gonna
Speaker 8: see what happens with the midterms. And it is what
Speaker 8: it is, and people have to get off the bus.
Speaker 8: And I have a very young liberal daughter and we
Speaker 8: had the debate the other day. She thinks they have
Speaker 8: to go further left in the next election because Bernie
Speaker 8: and AOC get rallies and I spent getting rallies is
Speaker 8: different than getting votes. If the Democrats don't go to
Speaker 8: the center and get off the issues that don't affect
Speaker 8: them and.
Speaker 3: No questions, no question question about that. I mean, I
Speaker 3: think the progressive Democrats, I think it's a suicide pact
Speaker 3: in their party. But they'll make that decision, is Jed,
Speaker 3: I got to let you go. Is this your first
Speaker 3: time calling?
Speaker 8: Oh no, no, no, I've called quite a few times before.
Speaker 8: We've talked before. How I met O'Neill quite a few times, Regan,
Speaker 8: I'm like most people. I'm disappointed and we can do
Speaker 8: so much better than we do and we all know that.
Speaker 3: Sean. I need to hear your voice more frequently.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Thanks here, have a good night.
Speaker 3: Eileen is in Gambridge. Eileen next on nightsig Go right ahead.
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking my call, and thanks for uh discussing
Speaker 2: discussing this subject. I ended up having dental amalgam removed
Speaker 2: from my teeth because apparently that interfered with the thyroid gland.
Speaker 2: And I feel so much better having all that amalgam
Speaker 2: out of my mouth. And I don't know if other
Speaker 2: people have experienced I've.
Speaker 3: Never heard that is does that include mercury?
Speaker 1: Is that what the yes?
Speaker 2: Exactly?
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, that's a good guest, Dan, Okay, thank you,
Speaker 3: my congratulations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my most recent problems is blood pressure and I'm
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I'm I'm not taking these pills that
Speaker 2: cause me to gain weight and and cause me to
Speaker 2: feel dizzy. And I you know, it's it's really hard
Speaker 2: to fight with these doctors who tell you you have
Speaker 2: to do this or or else.
Speaker 3: You know, they can be dictatorial, and you got it.
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, you have to be
Speaker 3: guided by your own your own beliefs. And I just
Speaker 3: think that that this tonight is like a simple I'm
Speaker 3: quite disappointed that more people are not responding to this
Speaker 3: because this is something I think all of us should celebrate.
Speaker 3: I think that it's a non political issue. Donald Trump's
Speaker 3: people were the one that apparently have finally pushed us
Speaker 3: over the finished lize. They pushing a rock up the hill,
Speaker 3: and at the top of the hill you had all
Speaker 3: these big corporations pushing back. Thank god that if this
Speaker 3: is going to happen, it's going to happen, and it's
Speaker 3: going to happen within the next two years, and hopefully
Speaker 3: not for you and me, Eileen, but for people who
Speaker 3: are really young now, they'll never have to deal with
Speaker 3: this stuff.
Speaker 2: In their diets, right right, right, Well, this is question authority.
Speaker 9: And by the way, by the way, I'm somebody who
Speaker 9: is often skeptical of government, and to be.
Speaker 3: Honest with you, I have a fairly strong libertarian streak.
Speaker 3: But I want the government to do some fundamental things.
Speaker 3: I want them to maintain a military to protect us.
Speaker 3: I want a police department to protect us. I want
Speaker 3: the government to build rhades. And I also want the
Speaker 3: government to know what is in our food and if
Speaker 3: they do the research and find out that stuff like
Speaker 3: these dies, these petroleum based dies are in our foods,
Speaker 3: that's the that's the primary responsibility of governments.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, thank you, thank you, no, I appreciate you. Taking Okay, Thanks,
Speaker 2: Thanks Dan.
Speaker 3: Thanks Ilyen, talk soon. Okay, all right, I have going
Speaker 3: to break here, and I have some empty lines, and
Speaker 3: I can't tell you how disappointed I am that on
Speaker 3: this subject, which is a subject we haven't done before.
Speaker 3: This is a different subject that these lines haven't lit up.
Speaker 3: Because this is something that affects every one of us.
Speaker 3: This is something with it that we can celebrate. There
Speaker 3: should be no discussion here about saying, well, this die
Speaker 3: is good, that die is good. Let's let's finish strong, folks.
Speaker 3: Six one, seven, two thirty or six.
Speaker 8: It's nice eyes with Dan Ray on Way Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 3: Let me go to We now have full lines for
Speaker 3: the first time of this hour, which is great. But
Speaker 3: let everybody got to get him in here. Ron and
Speaker 3: hey Ron next on nightside. Thanks for calling in.
Speaker 11: Hi, Dan, thanks very much for having us. I just
Speaker 11: I want to support you, uh with a peer reviewed
Speaker 11: It was recently published in Toxicology Reports, which is a
Speaker 11: peer reviewed journal, in September two twenty three, and basically
Speaker 11: the mechanism for the red dye, which is also called
Speaker 11: Laura Ritt basically cause it's it's been shown the cause
Speaker 11: of rise and early onset colorectal cancer, which correlates along
Speaker 11: with the rise in the younger population the States UH
Speaker 11: and both in vitro and in devo that is outside
Speaker 11: living organisms and within there it shows that it leads
Speaker 11: to and I looked at the chemical structure to it
Speaker 11: leads to a DNA damage and in the presence of
Speaker 11: a high fat diet. On the study that they published
Speaker 11: for ten months, let's led to a dysbiosis in low
Speaker 11: grade conic inflammation. So I just wanted to call learned
Speaker 11: to support your discussion on the Peer Review Journal.
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate it so much. That excellent ron. Again,
Speaker 3: I know that you're in the medical field, I know
Speaker 3: your background. I know that everything you've told me is
Speaker 3: absolutely accurate, and I just thank you. I thank you
Speaker 3: for taking the time. I got some other folks who
Speaker 3: want to get in here, which is great. Buy new
Speaker 3: call was very important. Thank you, my friend. We'll talk soon.
Speaker 11: Thank you.
Speaker 3: See you say all right, thanks good night. Let's keep
Speaker 3: rolling here. I'm going to try to get everybody and
Speaker 3: you kind of have to call Jeff Is and Whitman
Speaker 3: Jeff next on Nightsiger, right.
Speaker 12: Ahead, Hey Dan on top of Peer reviewed. You can
Speaker 12: look at documentaries like Food Inks, and there's been other
Speaker 12: ones over the years, and the problem is most people
Speaker 12: just turn a blind eye, which is really sad. Another
Speaker 12: one was Jamie Oliver did a whole thing with trying
Speaker 12: to promote good eating habits, and he was either turned
Speaker 12: away by the government or people just totally ignored what
Speaker 12: he did, saying, well, I just want the cheaper food.
Speaker 3: Well, I think also, I also think that what happens
Speaker 3: is that there are powerful forces that marginalize people. I mean,
Speaker 3: our FK Junior was marginalized because we heard all the
Speaker 3: crazy stories about he did this or he did that,
Speaker 3: and maybe the stories were true, maybe they weren't. But
Speaker 3: on this subject, he's a leader and he should be
Speaker 3: acknowledged and commended for it.
Speaker 8: Yes, agreed, Jeff.
Speaker 3: I appreciated call so much. I got to get you
Speaker 3: to call earlier. We can spend more time. I got
Speaker 3: three behind you. Okay, thanks you, my friend.
Speaker 1: I have a good one.
Speaker 3: Thanks, Jeff, appreciated you guys have risen to the occasion
Speaker 3: as you often do. Andy and Medford. Andy next on Nightside,
Speaker 3: go right ahead.
Speaker 7: I wanted to mention that I've been trying to buy salmon,
Speaker 7: smoked salmon, and all the smoke salmon has red dye
Speaker 7: in it, and so I won't buy it. I realize
Speaker 7: you that it's all colored. And the other thing is
Speaker 7: that the dyes cause problems, and people like me that
Speaker 7: have ADHD.
Speaker 3: Well, the dyes may have caused the ADHD. According to Secretary.
Speaker 1: Kennedy, Yeah, yeah, just.
Speaker 7: Basically, well, I got to tell you something.
Speaker 3: I I my job is to be up on this stuff,
Speaker 3: and I haven't been up on it. So I apologize
Speaker 3: to my auto. But when I saw this today, I said,
Speaker 3: this is incredible progress, and it's progress from the An
Speaker 3: administration that I wouldn't have expected progress on something like this.
Speaker 3: So let's congratulate Robert Kennedy Junior, and also doctor Marty McCarey.
Speaker 3: Thanks Andy, I appreciate your paul you bet you. I'm trying, man,
Speaker 3: I'm trying. Thanks. Okay, thanks buddy. I got to get
Speaker 3: two more in Paula and Marshall. Paula, thanks so much
Speaker 3: for calling. It means a lot to me. You're next
Speaker 3: on night side.
Speaker 5: Okay, Hello, how you tonight?
Speaker 3: I'm better because the phones got busy. Here go right.
Speaker 5: Ahead, Oh good, Okay, so I have been following redfood
Speaker 5: diet issues probably for the past twenty plus years. As
Speaker 5: a teacher, I had students coming into my classroom who
Speaker 5: are highly allergic to it, and it made me do
Speaker 5: a little research on it. And when my son was
Speaker 5: and it was all negative. And when my son was
Speaker 5: in college at John Carroll Versity, he had to read
Speaker 5: Fast Food Nation in the early two thousands, which talked
Speaker 5: about how food was processed and made to look enticing
Speaker 5: and the flavors were not the natural flavors.
Speaker 3: And this is exactly what Kennedy and McCarry doctor McCarey
Speaker 3: is saying today. And I wish we'd focus on this
Speaker 3: on this show five years ago or ten years ago,
Speaker 3: and I apologize for that year. We're focusing on the twenty.
Speaker 5: Years ago when the book was published in two thousand,
Speaker 5: but even before that, with all these young children coming
Speaker 5: in with analogies.
Speaker 3: What I wasn't doing this twenty I was a TV
Speaker 3: reporter twenty years ago, so I couldn't get into subjects
Speaker 3: like this in the depth that we're doing tonight. Paula,
Speaker 3: I got to get one more in here. Thank you
Speaker 3: so much. Have you called my show before since your
Speaker 3: first time.
Speaker 5: I have not it's my first time, but I was
Speaker 5: a year behind time, so I was on this with you.
Speaker 5: So there you go.
Speaker 3: Do me a favor and call more often. I'd love
Speaker 3: to renew our acquaintances.
Speaker 5: Okay, good, thank you.
Speaker 3: Thanks Paula. Pearl is in Roxbury. Pearl, I am packed
Speaker 3: on time. I only have a few seconds for you,
Speaker 3: but I can't ignore you. Go ahead, Pearl, Hi.
Speaker 13: I really enjoyed this show. Listen to it every time
Speaker 13: I will get a chance. I think it's a very
Speaker 13: good show, and you have a perfect show.
Speaker 1: Tonight.
Speaker 5: You really did well.
Speaker 3: This was the perfect way to end the show. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: I'm flat out of time. You know what time it is.
Speaker 3: Please call me some night and I want to have
Speaker 3: a couple of longer conversations with you.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I want to talk to you too, all right.
Speaker 3: Thanks Pearl, that's the date. Talk to you soon, Okay.
Speaker 3: I'm back tomorrow night. I'll be on Facebook in just
Speaker 3: a couple of minutes. Rob, thank you, Maria, thank you.
Speaker 3: All dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's
Speaker 3: why Pal Charlie Rays, who passed fifteen years ago in
Speaker 3: February that's why your pets are over past. They loved
Speaker 3: you and you love them, and I do believe you'll
Speaker 3: see them again. Seegain more, night and night, said everyone.
