Food colours/additive hyperactive worry

By 08 Dec, 2011 Allergies

At least 60 food additives used in our foods which are questionable in terms of safety, or at worse, known to be harmful.

This has been highlighted by this campaign: http://www.additivealert.com.au/

Food additive colours on to-be-banned list are:
102, 104, 110, 122, 124, 129

Avoid these dangerous food additives

 

 

 

Five years ago, studies from the University of Southampton UK (2007) confirmed that these 6 colours could cause hyperactivity in children. http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140673607613063/abstract

As a result of this research, these 6 colours are being removed from ALL foods in the UK.  But they a still in many of the coloured food in New Zealand.
For your children’s sake, please keep these harmful food additives out of their diet.
