Artificial colourings as harmful as leaded petrol for children - Telegraph
Liked it Apr 7, 8:49pm 4 reviews http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main....
From the page: "Artificial colourings could be removed from hundreds of food products after researchers found that they may be almost as harmful to children's development as leaded petrol.

"The additives, found in a host of sweets and soft drinks, have been linked to behavioural problems. But a team at Southampton University, carrying out a £750,000 study for the Food Standards Agency, (FSA) suggested seven colourings, including tartrazine and sunset yellow, could also affect children's intelligence by up to five IQ points."


What's needed now - if one exists - is a crib sheet which connects the U.K. coloring designations with their U.S. assigned names.
