Sister Sharpens Sister episodes

  • Food Allergies, Meat Sensitivities & the Red Dye #3 Ban

    In this episode, we explore the science behind food allergies, with a focus on meat allergies and gluten intolerance. We break down what these conditions are, how they’re diagnosed, and why they’re becoming more common. Then, we shift our attention to the FDA’s recent ban on Red Dye #3—why it’s happening now, what products will be affected, and which other food dyes might be next.

    If you want to learn more about what’s in your food and how certain ingredients might be affecting your health, this episode is full of valuable insights!

                          From the publisher's feed

                          Our podcast is inspired by Proverbs 27:17, which states, 'As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.' We hold the belief that when we come together and discuss our goals, we have the power to sharpen each other's abilities to help us become the women we aspire to be.
