Caryn Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi everybody, I am a member of the Feingold Organization and we just received an email asking for nationwide help convincing candy manufacturers to take artificial colors and preservatives out of our kids' candy here in the States. There is a new study that was released last month in Southampton proving that sodium benzoate and azo dyes make ALL kids hyper, not just kids "predisposed" to ADHD. I have written about the study on my blog at: http://healthy-family.org/caryn/231 if anyone is interested in the specifics. Our Feingold representative has told us that in England they are removing these synthetic dyes and preservatives because the people are demanding it (not because of the law). We would like to see the same in the States. I don't want to completely double post, so if anyone here is interested in calling Mars, et al., please view my post in the ADHD section of ACN.
