Carpal tunnel symptoms can be caused by a food dye called FD&C Yellow # 5. Sometimes it’s called just Yellow. There are other names for it, too.
How does a fake food dye cause carpal tunnel symptoms? Because it interferes with an important vitamin.
There are lots of artificial food colors and #5 has been shown to interfere with absorption of Vitamin B6.
When we don’t have enough of this particular B vitamin we get carpal tunnel-like symptoms around the wrist. The cool thing is that we can get rid of the symptoms by increasing our B6 level.
You can do this by taking a good multivitamin-mineral supplement or a good B vitamin supplement.
And it helps a LOT if you stop eating foods that are laced with Yellow #5.
What foods have this chemical color? Hold onto your hats! TONS of them!
It’s in everything from hot dog buns to candy to bread to cereal to fortune cookies to sports drinks. It’s sneaky. It’s in places you would never expect in a million years.
It’s in things that aren’t even yellow.
So what do you have to do?
Read labels. If there is any variation of Yellow dye in a product, put it back on the shelf! Or shop for foods that aren’t in boxes, that didn’t come from factories.
I still enjoy cracking open my fortune cookie when I eat at my favorite Chinese restaurant but all I do is read my fortune.
The cookie goes back on my plate.
I don’t want to interfere with my absorption of Vitamin B6 and risk getting carpal tunnel pain.
