Hyperactive Children Due To Additives In Food

Additives DO Harm Children...

The number of hyperactive children could be cut by a third by banning suspect food additives, it is claimed today. The finding by British scientists will put pressure on the Food Standards Agency to force manufacturers to stop using the "E-number" chemicals. The researchers believe that removing artificial colours from children's foods, including cakes, drinks and sweets, would bring significant health and social benefits. Thousands of children would avoid the blight on their education caused by hyperactive behaviour, which can mean they are labelled slow and disruptive.
