ARTIFICIAL ADDITIVES FOUND TO CAUSE DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR IN YOUNG

New research made public for the first time confirming the link between artificial additives and disruptive behavior in children is splashed across many of the front pages. The study, the biggest of its kind, found that after consuming a drink containing a mix of additives that reflected the daily intake of a British child, the children in the study became more boisterous and lost concentration.

The government's Food Standards Agency has responded by issuing revised guidance to consumers, recommending that they steer clear of products containing certain E-numbers if their children show signs of hyperactivity.

The Guardian says this move has "confounded" experts who believe the government has missed an opportunity to take a tougher line by banning the additives completely, instead of placing the burden on parents. . . .
