That is not how precautions work. If unsure, you ban the mostly unnecessary things.

"Hmm, there is an unknown risk with it, do I really need this unhealthy candy" no

"Do i really need this vegetable" yes

For an analogy, if your neighborhood is unsafe, you don't stop going to school altogether, you probably just won't go out for a night stroll.

This kind of absolute logical statement is very stupid.

Also, consider that when faced with unsure studies, the fact that fruits and vegetables are part of healthy human diet for centuries longer than a dye has been, is a major factor.

Yes - which includes vegetables. Humans can generally survive indefinitely on an all-meat diet.

> "Do i really need this vegetable" yes

No.

So, your general statement is correct, but you missed the basic fact that vegetables also fall into the category of "mostly unnecessary" things - so, my point stands.

You're just being obtuse now. Surely you understand the dietary difference between a vegetable and a dye that exists purely for aesthetic purposes? If not, there is no point continuing this.
