I've been particularly interested in the comments in recent threads about Yellow 5 (and other dyes) in AS splashes, and learned a lot from the forum and some of my own online research - so much in fact that I have reviewed all of my aftershaves and tried to identify those with the Yellow 5 dye in them. As a diabetic, thyroid issues are always a concern and I understand that there is a potential link between Yellow 5/Tartrazine and thyroid problems, so I've isolated all AS that include Y5 in their ingredients list. As a general rule of thumb, I've arrived at the conclusion that clear (non-coloured) AS is 'safest', but I'm still not sure about some and I'd be grateful for any further advice...Old Spice (original) and Tabac Original, for example...I couldn't find any dyes in those...is this correct?
Any other splashes that people would recommend?
(I realise that the perfumes themselves also carry potential health issues, but i'm just focusing on Yellow 5 atm)
