'Ban artificial food colourings'
Overall, the parents said their children became less hyperactive during the period when the additives were removed. Similarly, they said their children were much more hyperactive during the period when the additives were put back in.

Basic Research on Food Dyes & Flavorings
Note that, while there are many studies on food colorings, there are very few on the 5000+ flavorings in food. This is due to the success of their manufacturers in convincing the U.S. Food & Drug Administration that "a little bit can't hurt"

Effects of a double blind, placebo controlled, artificial food colourings and benzoate preservative challenge on hyperactivity
in a general population sample of preschool children - Conclusions: There is a general adverse effect of artificial food colouring and benzoate preservatives on the behaviour of 3 year old children which is detectable by parents but not by a simple clinic assessment. Subgroups are not made more vulnerable to this effect by their prior levels of hyperactivity or by atopy.

Environmental Factors and ADHD
I began to research the diet connection. I learned what an elimination diet was and attempted to begin one based on limited information. I did see some positive results, but only when I eliminated all artificial colors and flavors, preservatives and salicylate-containing foods (found in apples, grapes, oranges, and many more fruits, vegetables, almonds and some spices) did I see dramatic change.

Food Additives May Affect Kids' Hyperactivity
British researchers found removing food additives from the diet of a group of 3-year-olds caused a reduction in the children's hyperactive behavior reported by their parents. And when the food colorings and preservatives were added back into the children's diets, the parents reported an increase in hyperactivity.

Food additives Uses and side effects
The food and chemical industries have said for decades that all food additives are well tested and safe. And some additives are as far as we know relatively safe. However, the history of food additives is riddled with additives that, after many years of use, were found to pose health risks. Many have been banned over the years, however, those listed below are still in use despite their known side effects on the system. The moral of the story is that when someone says that all food additives are well tested and safe you should take their assurances with a grain of salt.

Foods and additives are common causes of the attention deficit hyperactive disorder in children.
This study demonstrates a beneficial effect of eliminating reactive foods and artificial colors in children with ADHD. Dietary factors may play a significant role in the etiology of the majority of children with ADHD.

HARMFUL ARTIFICIAL & NATURAL COLOURINGS
At least 15 colourings can provoke intolerant or allergic reactions in some people, producing asthma, migraine, eczema, urticaria (rashes) or hyperactivity. Certain colours have also produced questionable results in animal tests, such as thyroid and kidney damage. A child can consume between five and twenty different colourings during one meal. Yet colour additives have not been tested in the real-life cocktails in which we eat them.

The present study indicates that natural food colours may induce hypersensitivity reactions as frequent as synthetic dyes.

I Spy Something Red Could Your Child Be Sensitive to Red Food Dye?
Although Bratby and Hersey agree that not all cases of ADHD or other behavioral problems are caused by artificial dyes, they believe it is such a simple theory to test on an individual child, it is worth the effort.

Kitchen Notes: Additives
What are these weird ingredients and what do they do? What are they doing in my food (especially since I don't have them in my pantry and don't use them in my home cooked meals)? Here's a list that I've been slowly compiling of food additives.

Other Dyes
The US Food and Drug Administration divides food colorants into two categories: Certifiable Color Additives which are derived from petroleum distillates or coal tars and are essentially synthetic chemicals created in laboratories. These are often referred to as "artificial" colors. Exempt Color Additives are derived from plant, animal or mineral sources which have been processed in some way. The layman might call these "natural" colors because of their origins, though it's likely they've come out of a factory or chemical plant just like certifiable colors.
