Artificial Dyes that can Effect Children

Research from the 1970's supports the suspicion that certain artificial food colorings can have a negative effect on children. While the level of sensitivity varies with the child, they have been shown to increase hyperactivity. Dyes are found in food such as mac an cheese, candy, cereal, crackers, tortilla chips, and even vitamins.
