I read a really interesting article talking about how kids react towards artificial food. The article is called Do food dyes affect kids' behavior? by Robert Lachman on the Los Angeles Times Newspaper. Many parents talked about how there kids react once they feed them with food with a lot of sugar how there are really hyper. Studies say that kids react towards this with artificial food coloring. Many scientists and physiologists aren’t sure this is the cause. Many scientists are trying to find the conclusion to this cause. Even though many parents know that there kids are always acting hyper. Scientists and even parents are trying to get to the bottom of this if artificial food coloring is one of the causes for there kids reactions. Now they are asking the FDA department to list on the products with food coloring on to say that this product contains food coloring in it. For now they are trying to test this to make sure if this is one of the causes for the reactions of there kids. Even though they found out about this causes in 1970’s after an author published a book called “Why Your Child is Hyperactive” by Dr. Ben Feingold. They tried to get to the bottom of this so parents haven’t been able to figure out.
