Food Dyes Linked to Behavioral Problems - Ban Urged

A link between artificial dyes and serious behavioural and attention deficit problems in children has lobbyists urging governments to ban these products.

A study recently published in the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, demonstrated a link between additives and hyperactivity in children, intensifying a debate that has been ongoing for years. In the study, researchers found children with no prior history of behavioural problems demonstrating hyperactivity after being given fruit juice that contained additives, over a period of several weeks.

According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, an advocacy group based in the US, there are eight artificial food dyes that pose serious health risks to children, namely, yellow 5, or tartrazine; red 40, also known as allura red; blue 1, or brilliant blue; blue 2, or indigotine; green 3, or fast green; red 3, or erythrosine; yellow 6, or sunset yellow; and orange B. They are found in a wide variety of packaged foods, including ketchup, cheddar cheese, and juice. Cheetos, Fruit Loops, Doritos, Smarties, and Reeses Pieces may also contain some of these dyes.
