Hmmmm is right! (Score 1)

I tend to agree it was hysteria. About 5 years ago, I started having pain in my wrists, and was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. My chiropractor, who is from Japan, did some manipulation of my wrists, then told me to start taking vitamin B6. So I did a little research on B6, and found that food coloring, especially the yellows, will deplete pyridoxine from people's systems, which is linked to tendonitis. I started looking at the ingredients on food, and almost EVERYTHING, even if it is nowhere near the color yellow, has yellow #5 or #6. So with that in mind, I started to avoid foods with food dyes, and took 500mg. of pure B6 once a day, and the carpal symptoms just simply vanished. Whenever I slack off and the pain comes back, I start up with the B6 again.
