ADHD and Artificial Food Dyes

In the most recent issue of NutritionAction is this quote:

"Last spring, Health Canada finally acknowledged the scientifc evidence showing that artificial food dyes can exacerbate attention deficit/hyperactivitiy disorder (ADHD) in children.  But its proposal to better label the presence of the dyes--which are only used to make foods look more appealing--is a recipe for ineffectiveness.  If the government really wanted to help kids with ADHD, it would ban artificial food dyes."   (April 2011).
