http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_-rFTbiORo DESCRIPTION: In response to definitive evidence showing artificial colors may increase inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity among young children, a call has been made by consumer groups to ban food dyes. I originally covered the landmark Lancet study in Are Artificial Colors Bad for You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-a...) There's even sometimes Artificial Coloring in Fish (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/artif...). This whole saga reminds me of the artificial flavor video I did the other day, Butter-Flavored Microwave Popcorn or Breathing (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/butte...). Amazing what the food industry is able to get away with. There is a campaign to get Kraft to remove yellow #5 from their mac & cheese, but even if the stuff didn't glow in the dark it's still just a blob of sodium (750 mg), saturated fat (4.5 g), and trans fat (2.8 g). The food movement might better spend its time encouraging healthier fare altogether. How can we get our kids to eat less processed junk? I review some practical tips in my next two videos, Tricks to Get Kids to Eat Healthier at School (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trick...) and Tricks to Get Kids to Eat Healthier at Home (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trick...). Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/artif... and he'll try to answer it!

Tom Costello reports on the FDA investigation of the safety of food dyes. Rebecca argues for more natural colors from whole foods, and balanced meals as a "bigger picture" issue, with 70% of Americans not meeting fruit and vegetable needs. www.rebeccascritchfield.com

[quote name="Earth Ling" post="19316036" timestamp="1389387586"]I wondered why M&M's tasted so weird..[/quote]Hahaha honestly it's just good to stay away from consuming processes stuff, preservatives and artificial stuff like colors and additives.Even the flourine containing water they give us on tap is toxic.Edit: get a Brina filter or something
[quote name="Snoop Toad" post="19318646" timestamp="1389418399"]You know, thats exactly what id expect somebody of that stance to say.Flourine [/quote]The objective stance...?
No, theres flouride on the water, not flourine. Although i see why it would be easy to get them mixed up it was supposed to be a slam about how people that dont know what theyre talking about like to parrot info as id they do

Same element. Yes it's very different because of the extra electron charge, natural disassociation, and buffer solution tendencies, but I think everyone still understands the point. My apologies.Edit: I think you mean there's flouride IN the water...
