Are Artifical Food Coloring and Chemical Preservatives a Health Danger?

The possibility that artificial food colorings and chemical
preservatives could affect your or your child’s behavior has been a hotly contested issue for decades.

Now proof is available. The September 2007 issue of the Lancet Medical Journal now provides a clear demonstration that changes in behavior can be detected in three-year-
old and eight-year-old children who ingest these artificial
processed food additives.

Psychology Professor James Stevenson of the University of Southampton and colleagues conducted tests on more than 300 children. They found significant differences in the children’s behavior when they drank fruit drinks with a mixture of common processed food additives including artificial food colorings and chemical preservatives.

“These findings show that adverse effects are not just seen in
children with extreme hyperactivity (such as ADHD) but can also be seen in the general population and across the range of
severities of hyperactivity,” the researchers wrote in their
study. The team of researchers commented that “the implications of these results for the regulation of food additive use could be substantial”.

Many parents today feel pressured by doctors and school
officials into treating their children’s symptoms with
narcotic medications. After witnessing the side effects, many
wish they had not.

On the other hand, wonderful non-profit groups like The Feingold Association (www.feingold.org) have a 30 year track
record and a 90% success rate in alleviating such symptoms by simply changing the child’s diet.
