the Center for Science in the Public Interest

In an article reported by Associated Press, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, called on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban the use of eight artificial colors in food because the additives may cause hyperactivity and behavior problems in some children. These colors include Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Orange B, Red 3, and Yellow 6.

This consumer advocacy group is not the only one making these claims. Feingold Association, another organization dedicated to helping children with behavior problems, also suggests that artificial dyes are connected to hyperactivity.

The center’s executive director, Michael F. Jacobson indicates the colors often mask the absence of real food and attempt to appeal to children through color. Dyes are often added to cereals, candies, sodas, and many snack foods.
