SC - A different egg question-part 2

[Lady Elisabeth]

Greetings the list

At our most recent cooks guild meeting we dyed eggs using natural dyes.  
The colors came out amazingly bright!  I will post pictures once I get them 
developed. 
I know the cabbage and the onion-skin dyed eggs are safe to eat.  I am 
wondering if the eggs boiled for 20 minutes in water containing crushed 
cochneal (did I get the spelling at least close?) are safe to eat?  And 
where could I find more information on natural dyes - other colors, period 
colors...  I found 2 relevant web sites, and of those, one lists dyes and 
then states some of these (and does not specify which) are not safe to eat  
;-(.

So thank you all for the help!
