Food Dye Tantrum

Описание: There is not sufficient evidence that shows that food color additives increase hyperactivity and/or ADHD in children.

A 2020 systematic assessment of FDA-certified colors concluded that food colors do not impact brain activity that is indicative of hyperactivity, implying that no relationship exists between food color additives and the development of ADHD. This conclusion supports a 2017 systematic review that found no evidence of behavior change in children with ADHD following dietary changes, including eliminating artificial food additives.

A 2012 meta analysis estimated 8% of children with ADHD may have symptoms related to synthetic food colors. Effects of food colors were notable were but susceptible to publication bias or were derived from small, nongeneralizable samples.

While a small segment of the population may be affected by food color additives, there is not sufficient scientific evidence that links them to increased hyperactivity and/or ADHD in children.
