Once again Europe is ahead of the US when it comes to healthier eating. The US needs to follow suit. You have heard of the book "French Women Don't get Fat", here is yet another reason why us Americans do. Too many preservatives and just plain junk in our food. I have been making a real effort to get rid of most processed foods in my life, eating real food and making it from scratch. Here is another reason to continue on this path for me.
Dyes in food are being linked to causing hyperactivity and behavioral changes in kids. Europe is now labeling foods so parents will know that foods contain these dyes so individuals can choose to avoid them if they want. Go Europe, the first step is to label it so we know what we are eating.
Avoid or look for the following dyes: Yellow 5&6, Green 3, Red 3&40, Orange B
