Artificial colors and preserva... hey let's go ride bikes!

A study a few weeks ago demonstrated, with good scientific controls (double-blind, placebo) that adding sodium benzoate, an ubiquitous preservative, and artificial colorings, can create hyperactivity in some children.

Wow. That's some good data. And it makes me wonder how much these ingredients are in our foods today, compared to the past. Because there's a lot more ADD diagnoses now than in the past.
