🌫️ Sahara Dust Clouds Are Heading to Florida and Beyond Massive plumes of Saharan dust are traveling across the Atlantic and heading straight for Florida, the Gulf Coast, and possibly parts of the Southeast and Midwest. While these clouds can create stunning sunsets, they also carry risks: respiratory irritation, reduced air quality, and heat intensification. 🌍 This is a natural yearly event—but scientists warn 2025 could see one of the densest waves in years. People with asthma or other lung issues should be prepared. ☀️ On the upside, the dust can suppress hurricane activity—but at the cost of hazy skies and health impacts. Stay alert. Stock up on air filters and N95s. What starts in the Sahara doesn’t stay there. #SaharanDust #AirQuality #FloridaWeather #BETTRNews #ClimateUpdate #PublicHealth #WeatherWatch https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sahara-dust-clouds-are-heading-to-florida-and-beyond/

🍭 RFK Jr. Drops the Dye — 8 Artificial Colors to Be BANNED from U.S. Food by 2026 In a bold move for public health, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced a nationwide phase-out of eight synthetic food dyes by the end of 2026 — including Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, and more. These dyes—common in snacks, sodas, cereals, and kids’ treats—have been linked to ADHD in children, allergic reactions, and even cancer in lab tests. While many countries already ban these additives, the U.S. is finally catching up. Manufacturers will now be forced to switch to natural alternatives like beet juice, turmeric, and spirulina—or risk being pulled from shelves. 💥 Big win for parents. Big loss for junk food giants. #FoodDyeBan #HealthNews #RFKJr #CleanLabel #FoodAdditives #Red40 #Yellow5 #Blue1 #PublicHealth #BETTRNews #HealthyAmerica 👉 Full story: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/22/rfk-jr-food-artificial-dye-food-supply/83211595007/
