The Center for Science in the Public Interest is urging the FDA to ban the use of 8 different food colorings because controlled studies have linked them to worsened hyperactivity and behavior problems. The eight dyes are Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, and Orange B. The preservative sodium benzoate was also linked to behavior problems.
