Food Dye and Behavior
Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine - A podcast by Justin McElroy, Dr. Sydnee McElroy - Tuesdays
Do artificially colored food dyes make your kids behave badly? This sounds like it could be true, and is certainly alluring to parents as an easy fix. But are they actually related? In the 1940s, Dr. Benjamin Feingold was set to research just that, believing that food dye not only could cause bad behavior, but was linked to asthma, eczema, and hives. But the solution to how to solve any of these problems is a bit extreme – too extreme to be practical or even show any real results.
