I didn't say every autistic person or person with ADHD had this problem, that's not how it works. I'm just saying that anecdotally I know of this phenomenon, and have noticed a correlation with autism and ADHD.
My main point being that not every food that is red has artificial food dye in it.
That was not clear. Why is that your point? This post is specifically about one particular red dye that can cause behavioral symptoms.
The post is about sauce that happens to be red. The post cleverly avoids saying "food dye" and everybody just assumes it must be about food dye because of cultural context.
The post is in reference to this. https://www.fda.gov/food/hfp-constituent-updates/fda-revoke-authorization-use-red-no-3-food-and-ingested-drugs
Listen, I know that the FDA in the US is banning that one type of red dye - even though I'm not from the US. That's how unavoidable the topic is if you're just a little too online. That's the cultural context. Now show me in the original post where it says "red dye".
