My now eight year old daughter became a psychotic anytime she ate red food dyes. Now that she's old enough she'll read labels and ask parents at parties before she'll eat icings and such, she remembers those episodes clearly and with revulsion.

I love it when they come out with research that proves that what all us "paranoid" mothers have been saying for decades.

What really stood out to me--and I didn't quote it--was that this study allegedly shows behavior changes even in children without behavioral problems. That's big, IMO! That's "not just sensitive kids", but "everyone."
