Food dye ok to eat?

I had made cherry jello with crushed pineapple, yummy , and my sis asked if that was safe to eat. It got me thinking and wondering the same. Is food dyes ok to eat? Any of them we should stay away from?

It is fine. I have never seen it in any of my three pregnancy books or heard it anywhere! lol

Although I don't think eating jello once is dramatic, I would avoid them as much as possible. Food dyes have been linked to a lot of health issues like ADHD and cancer.
More studies need to be performed.

Also, I'd avoid artificial sweeteners commonly used in jello (meaning, don't eat sugar-free jello).
