Children: 4 Year Old Daughter |  Watchdog Group Asks for Food Dye Ban | |
I think it's about time. If not a full ban, I feel that the FDA should at least admit that this stuff is not just harmless... WebMD Health News June 3, 2008 -- A watchdog group called on the FDA to ban artificial food dyes because of concerns they may be linked to behavior problems in some sensitive children. The Center for Science in the Public Interest wants eight artificial colorings to be pulled off the market in favor of natural food dyes now in growing use in Europe and elsewhere. The eight dyes include Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Orange B, Red 3, and Yellow 6. The group says a handful of studies suggest eating artificially colored food could play a role in worsening attention and hyperactivity problems in sensitive children.
