sillydog2112 discovered 3 months ago- Yes, yes, I know it's the Telegraph, but it's a real study full of scientific goodness. Look down on this list -- sodium benzoate. It's in every single can of pop in this country. And liberals who've already adjusted their diets towards tiny millet and rainwater (thanks D. Coupland) wonder why other Americans seem to be getting dumber all the time. I'm sayin' the church isn't the most dangerous part of the church picnic. I suppose we can take a bit of comfort in that the Britons are doing it, too. We share a unique bond, you know. "Bueller? Bueller?" Cue crickets. Tartazine - aka, FD&C yellow #4 Quinoline yellow -- aka, FD&C yellow #10 Sunset yellow - aka, FD&C yellow #6 Carmosine - aka, FD&C red #3 or Erythrosine Ponceau 4R - banned in the US (remember those red M&Ms?) Allura red - aka, FD&C red #40 Sodium Benzoate - formed by reacting benzoic acid and sodium hydroxide Follow those links and tell me if that sounds healthy to you. Now, imagine if you had a slurry of those things in your body. How would they react together?

- Yikes, scary stuff. All these dyes are so unnecessary anyway.

- From the page: "Artificial colourings could be removed from hundreds of food products after researchers found that they may be almost as harmful to children's development as leaded petrol. "The additives, found in a host of sweets and soft drinks, have been linked to behavioural problems. But a team at Southampton University, carrying out a £750,000 study for the Food Standards Agency, (FSA) suggested seven colourings, including tartrazine and sunset yellow, could also affect children's intelligence by up to five IQ points." What's needed now - if one exists - is a crib sheet which connects the U.K. coloring designations with their U.S. assigned names.
