Hyperactive in the candy bar
That was the years that children were to buy a candy counter of the coins, just below the little green plastic bag. At the time that has passed since my children were small, however, all criteria in this respect burst. Now parents keep their children for grazing in a giant candy bars in stores, where much you can shovel in a short time for a little price. Chances are candy bar makers can be used as a reward, for example, if your children have been whining búðarferð unusually small, or maybe wait all week for the candy the day ran up clear and beautiful. I suspect that said that parents believe they make their kids a favor by giving them access to these colorful two birthdays. But while you may be contributing to hyperactivity or other behavioral disorders, who receive appropriate solemn dealing with, except perhaps those selling Ritalin to deal with the problem. Namely, the research suggests that certain dyes in foods can contribute to hyperactivity in children, and these pigments are probably present in abundance in many notable candy bars.

Warning Labels in neighboring countries
The relationship between color of hyperactivity in children is not new. I do not know when the first evidence of these associations were observed, but the earliest results I can remember seeing are from 2000. Later, more studies have indicated the same direction, though the hazards of the coloring materials in this respect has not exactly been proved. However, the odds seem so much that the European Union has considered itself forced to act. The European Regulation no. 1333/2008 on food was passed into law as the obligation that all food (except alcoholic drinks) containing said pigment to be marked with the inscription "May have adverse effects on behavior and concentration of children" (e: "May have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children "). Tags duty came into force in European countries 20th July 2010, but not yet been to incorporate these provisions into Icelandic regulation.

What material is it?
Coloring substances in question belong to all but one category of so-called azo-dyes. The materials are typically identified by E-numbers, but manufacturers may, however, specify the name of the place. Including flækist issue for consumers who want to avoid that stuff, the names behind the E-codes are diverse. The following list gives more or less comprehensive overview of the said substances and their different names:

* E102 Tatrasín (Cl Food Yellow 4, FD & C Yellow # 5)
* E104 Quinoline Yellow (Cl Food Yellow 13, FD & C Yellow # 10) (not azo-dyes)
* E110 Sunset Yellow (Cl Food Yellow 3, FD & C Yellow # 6, Orange, Orange Yellow, Para-orange, yellow S)
* E122 Asórúbín (Karmósín, Cl Food Red 3)
* E124 Ponceau (Cl Food Red 7, Kochenillerautt A New coccine, Nykockin)
* E129 Allura red (Cl Food Red 17)

Frostpinnar and more good
Bari candy makers are not the only places where these substances are present. Actually I can not say on the matter what candy bar is concerned, because even I have never seen nammibar with ingredients that selection is required to install! It gives a man indeed reason to fear that they forget to also attach a caution signal when the regulation takes effect in Iceland. No, the substances that are said to use elsewhere, such as in some drinks and various snacks, imported as well as Icelandic. These dyes are even in most types frostpinna from at least one of the largest ísframleiðendunum country.

It was banned
Indeed, azo-dyes were banned in Iceland when my kids got candy in a little green bags. The ban, however, was abolished in 1997, according to the regulations of the European Economic Area. Consumer and abroad (eg Denmark) have for years fought either for that matter will be banned or encouraged the manufacturers to stop using them, since plenty of other materials for the same purpose. Principle of precautionary labeling is a step in this direction, but still find human harm not proved sufficient to justify banning it. (There's the precautionary principle indeed turned on its head).

Message to parents
The message to parents is simple: Beware of these materials. The children of your own self and you deserve better!
