- Spottswood, on 04/09/2008, -1/+31I really wish people would stop publicising articles from the daily mail
- DirtPile, on 04/09/2008, -9/+30Instead of banning food additives, why not increase beatings?
- DeadlyCouncil, on 04/09/2008, -8/+26I wish the US didn't lump food and medication standards into one bloated and inefficient group (FDA)
maybe then they'd pull their heads out of their asses and take similar measures... and get rid of High fructose corn syrup... yeesh... - nusuni, on 04/09/2008, -2/+19A little bit offtopic... but damn... is daily mail paying for diggs or something? This has to be the sixth time it has hit the front page today!
- DaDrake, on 04/09/2008, -11/+27Sadly, many parents identify normal behavior as unhealthy hyperactive behavior. They simply don't understand that kids are suppose to be running around and being playful. Instead, they sit their kids in front of the TV all day and can't understand why the kid acts unruly whenever they go out.
Nice to see a knee-jerk reaction after a single study. I wonder if this will turn out like artificial sweeteners.... which they banned in the 1960s, only to do numerous studies to find there is no link between fake-sugar and cancer. - Ellipsys, on 04/09/2008, -2/+17Businesses cannot be trusted to regulate themselves, or even not to lie to consumers. Take the "oasis certification" group of faux-organic body care products. They don't qualify for the USDA Organic seal, but they want to charge you the "organic price". So they use a tiny amount of organic ingredients, claim its "organic enough" and made their own certification to fool people into thinking it's safe. Check out www.organicconsumers.org for more details.
- vincois, on 04/09/2008, -1/+16Start with high fructose corn syrup.
- LostRiot, on 04/09/2008, -1/+14indeed, it is the arsehole of publishing.
- sdubois92, on 04/09/2008, -1/+13No, but Yellow 5 will take away your manhood.
- alainb, on 04/09/2008, -3/+14I'm not at all surprised by these findings. The public is not very informed about all the weird crap they consume on a daily basis, placated by marketing.
Its amazing how many toxins we put in our body inadvertently. That bag of potato chips you're eating isn't just potatoes but filled with weird preservatives and other chemicals that are bodies weren't made to take in large amounts.
The packaged food industry label "chef" is a misnomer. They are more like biochemists, designing highly complex compounds.
The belief that all those toxins gets flushed out right away is dangerous. We store a lot of these toxins and might not feel adverse affects until its reaches a certain threshold. Children reach that threshold sooner given how fast they metabolize food and their relative body mass. - PaulJCG, on 04/09/2008, -0/+11Don't worry, here's the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/apr/09/heal ...

What knee jerk reaction? FTA:-
"The FSA, an independent department of the Government, suggests there should be a voluntary ban by UK manufacturers by the end of 2009"
This isn't the government banning food. This is the government suggesting a voluntary ban. - Dumbledorito, on 04/09/2008, -0/+10Obama is going to be President AND Prime Minister? My god, his balls must be HUGE!
- mrsteveman1, on 04/09/2008, -2/+9They shouldn't have to, but apparently they do. Market forces fail miserably if every competitive product on the market is the same poisoned crap, especially if the market isn't smart enough to avoid things that are bad for them.
- Dumbledorito, on 04/09/2008, -3/+10"I don't think the government should have to regulate the food industry..."
I was about to argue but then:
"This is a good start, now just get rid of the other millions of preservative chemicals..."
Now, who were you expecting to do that if not the government? The Justice League? - inactive, on 04/09/2008, -1/+7You don't even want to know.
- W00DR0W, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6I don't think an ex-heavy-smoker is the type of person who would over-react to food coloring.
- madbadger, on 04/09/2008, -1/+7They missed an additive: it's called sugar.
- YesImAChick, on 04/09/2008, -1/+7What if your a woman?
- wellyuk, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6The George Dubya of publishing
- saxreturns, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6I'd call it the appendix; the arsehole has a useful function.
- tschau, on 04/10/2008, -2/+7I assume that was a joke.
- eryximachus, on 04/10/2008, -0/+5You really have no idea what you are talking about. They have been using amphetamine to treat hyperactive kids since the 1920s. This problem has existed since the rise of industrially manufactured food.
- OrangeTide, on 04/10/2008, -0/+5Most annoying people could have been improved with a few mild beatings.
- xptoast, on 04/10/2008, -0/+5You do know what store means? Wait wait...no you don't. Did you read the until threshold part? Storing is a concept of not immediately moving the item through. It's a stop and go thing instead of a just go thing. How long it's stopped however is up to circumstance. In the case of what he said is until a specific threshold is reached.
- W00DR0W, on 04/09/2008, -1/+6I only agree with this in the hope that they bring back clear pepsi.
It used to be all you had to do on april fools was give someone a glass of seltzer water, now you have to make this whole elaborate setup with coke and mentos and it's just a whole lot more work. - daverave999, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4Giggidy.
- xptoast, on 04/10/2008, -0/+4Medical tech is the only reason we live longer. Only reason.
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4I can feel the bias lowering already.
- mrsteveman1, on 04/10/2008, -0/+4I have ADD and i can absolutely tell the difference based on diet, its not anything intentional but i do notice afterward because it gets intolerable if im not doing something, which normally isnt the case.
- Heiminator, on 04/10/2008, -4/+8somethings tells me your childhood was quite sad...
- mrsteveman1, on 04/09/2008, -2/+6So....leave all the coloring in, despite the correlation to A.D.D, then ban the drugs which they claim treat A.D.D
You are well on your way to a solution my friend! - Myonosken, on 04/10/2008, -0/+4???
They taste no different and the colours are ***** bright- they only changed the colour of the blue ones to a lighter shade. - radarbeam, on 04/09/2008, -1/+5UK, the leader in all things banning.
- pakakapa, on 04/09/2008, -2/+6Yeah and tobacco doesn't cause cancer either. Just because some studies are broken doesn't mean they all are.
- EarlOfLade, on 04/10/2008, -0/+4Now, explain how I do that when the food contains chemicals that are bad for you?
Stop eating and die? - skyshock1, on 04/09/2008, -8/+12I have a better idea:
*SMACK*
"SHUT UP AND STUDY!!!" - inactive, on 04/09/2008, -1/+4***** US politics.
***** Copy and Paste. - HappyScrappy, on 04/10/2008, -1/+4Article specifically says they are ASKING for VOLUNTARY action by food makers, not a ban.
marked as inaccurate. - mrsteveman1, on 04/09/2008, -2/+5This has nothing to do with sugar, its about coloring in food, which in turn has nothing at all to do with parenting.
- EarlOfLade, on 04/10/2008, -1/+4So, you missed the point.
Maybe you should cut back on all the ***** you eat and drink and maybe you would have gotten the point the article and the study made? - wellyuk, on 04/09/2008, -4/+7Never a wiser word spoken.
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3And they don't make you hyper. Because you know just how hyper the old smarties made you...
- xptoast, on 04/10/2008, -0/+3Actually people with real adhd can see huge effects when they merely modify their diets away from certain additives and food colorings. It does effect some people. It is similar to the concept of some are allergic to some things and some are not. In this case it's a mental issue instead of a rash. With that mental issue comes the effect on the nervous system as well. Next time you get a rash or something that someone you know can't....I hope they say your just lying cause they never get a rash from it.
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3Isn't it obvious? They're trying to knock it offline via the Digg effect.
- OrangeTide, on 04/10/2008, -0/+3exactly. many kids are normally wound up. running around. making noise. getting into everything. some kids even have a tendency to break nice things.
I think new parents need to learn that when you have kids you're not going to be able to have a bunch of trendy nice things sitting out until the kids are much older. And that kids will run around, act like maniacs, get into fights, etc.
You'd think with all the childhood obesity we'd want kids to be more active, not less. :) - wellyuk, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3It wouldn't surprise me. The Daily Hate has to get it's nasty, fascist propaganda out somehow.
Just for those who are unaware of the Daily Hate's background.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Union_of_Fasc ... - mrsteveman1, on 04/10/2008, -0/+3Yogurt, cereal....there's a long list. You don't understand the subject do you. Quit trying to equate food coloring with junk food, because there is food coloring in a lot of food.
- flashback99, on 04/09/2008, -1/+4the daily mail can ***** off.
