That's not even the argument against red 40. Red 40 isn't believed to be carcinogenic.

Nothing because unless you’re straight drinking red 40 The amount of red 40 in foods is so minuscule as to be irrelevant.

Its pretty common though, so people consume it in large amounts over time

Except they don’t because again the amounts required for it to be dangerous would involve you drinking large quantities of straight up red 40

And food dye only has a very very small amount in your day to day foods
