Did you know that Mars has removed all artificial dyes from Starburst Chews and Skittles, and has begun removing all dyes from M&M's in the UK but not in the U.S?
Did you know that Kraft Lunchables do not contain artificial dyes in the UK, but do contain them in the U.S?
Did you know that synthetic food dyes are added not only to Fruit Loops and Popsicles, but also to butter, the skins of fruit and the casings of hotdogs?
You can read about this and much more in this great PDF, Smart Guide to Food Dyes: buying foods that can help learning.
I was so excited when I stumbled on this reference guide! It is one of the best I have seen. Besides great information, it contains a handy chart that breaks down different behaviours/symptoms and the dyes that are known to trigger those behaviours. (aggression, hyperactivity, eczema, insomnia, etc.)
I hope you will find this as helpful as I did. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Very informative blog...Thanks for sharing..
