Artificial food coloring makes kids hyper

Artificial food coloring makes kids hyper, say British scientists who wish to ban six different colorings. The European Council doesn’t plan on issuing any such ban, however, despite the wishes of several almighty consumer and health groups.

Researchers have concluded after the study of 300 kids that there’s a link amoung the colorings, a assured preservative, and hyperactivity in children. The worrisome additives, found in sweets, cakes, and fizzy drinks are:

tartrazine (E102), quinoline yellow (E104), sunset yellow (E110), ponceau (E124), allura red (E129), carmoisine (E122) and sodium benzoate (E211). While Britain’s Food Standards Agency, a government watchdog group, has called for a voluntary ban on these colorings, an actual government policy may be a expanded way off.

Further study will be underway. perhaps more conclusive findings will lead to more action.
