So certain food dyes cause kids to be hyperactive? Food dyes? It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that almost 100% of the foods using said dyes are pure sugar? Maybe if kids didn’t eat 5lbs of sugar each day they wouldn’t be hyperactive? I’d like to see a test where they put these food dyes in broccoli and fed it to kids, I think we’d find that the problem isn’t the dye after all.

I saw that this morning. It is the color of the Skittles that is the problem!

I agree, I think people should be eating so much less of this crap that dyes wouldn’t have that much effect.
