The Truth About Synthetic Dyes w/ Brandon & Whitney Cawood | EP431

There are cancer-causing chemicals in your kid’s food—and no one’s talking about it. In this episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Brandon and Whitney Cawood, the powerhouse couple behind the viral documentary To DIE For: The Toxic Truth About Food Dyes. Brandon and Whitney are filmmakers and former educators turned activists, using storytelling and grassroots advocacy to fight for real change in our food system. They expose the shocking truth about synthetic dyes—why they’re in our food, the neurological and behavioral issues they cause in children, and the government’s failure to protect us. The Cawoods share the heartbreaking story of how dyes transformed their child’s behavior and how eliminating them changed everything. This is a must-listen conversation for any parent, health advocate, or freedom-minded individual who wants to wake up and take control of what goes into their body.
