A California lawmaker has proposed legislation that would ban several food additives from being served in public school meals.
"California has a responsibility to protect our students from chemicals that harm children and that can interfere with their ability to learn," said Gabriel. “As a lawmaker, a parent, and someone who struggled with ADHD, I find it unacceptable that we allow foods with additives that are linked to cancer, hyperactivity, and neurobehavioral harms to be served to our children.
"The FDA has reviewed and will continue to examine the effects of color additives on children’s behavior," the agency said."The totality of scientific evidence indicates that most children have no adverse effects when consuming foods containing color additives, but some evidence suggests that certain children may be sensitive to them. The FDA will continue to evaluate emerging science to ensure the safety of color additives approved for use.
“I recommend minimizing food dyes in your kids’ diets,” Cleveland Clinic dietitian Julia Zumpano said. “And if there is a cancer risk in your family, I would encourage you to be even more vigilant in avoiding artificial dyes.”
