Study: Food additives impact hyperactivity
LONDON, April 8 (UPI) -- A British study suggests artificial color added to food and beverages could have an impact on hyperactivity.
Researchers at Southampton University said developmental damage from seven food additives is equal to the effect of elevated lead levels on children's IQ, a study by Southampton University found.
Britain's Food Standards Agency plans to meet Thursday to consider recommendations that manufacturers voluntarily remove six of the food additives from their products -- tartrazine, quinoline yellow, sunset yellow, carmoisine, ponceau, and allura red. Further research has been suggested for the seventh additive, the preservative sodium benzoate, the researchers recommended.
