CSPI Calls For Banning 8 Foos Dyes

The dyes that the Center for Science in the Public Interest wants banned are, "Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Orange B, Red 3, and Yellow 6."

The CSPI is claiming that they have a link to ADHD and behavioral problems in children, though I think the science is pretty thin.

Normally, this is something I wouldn't notice, but Yellow 5 is an asthma trigger for a lot of people, including Sharon,*, so I'm constantly looking for it when shopping.

*Love of my life, light of the cosmos, she who must be obeyed, my wife.
