Food Dye Affects Our Children


This article was sent in for the blog by Monika - thanks. The basic implication is that children with ADD/ADHD are affected adversely by the dyes in our food - "kids brains absorb approximately 50% of what they eat". This is a good read too.



Also this, from the wikipedia entry:

"Several major studies show academic performance increased and disciplinary problems decreased in large non-ADD student populations when artificial ingredients, including artificial colors, were eliminated from school food programs."
Pretty scary to think that something so prevalent in our diets could have such a fundamental affect on our kids.
