Every day parents should have more cure with the foods we provide to our children, it is preferable to provide them with organic foods although they may be in some cases more expensive, than the various processed foods existing in the market.
An investigation conducted by a group of British scientists just related some of the components found in certain foods, such as preservatives or dyes, with childhood behavior disorders. These substances, which are found in a large number of foods, are consumed daily by children, soft drinks, sweets or prepared foods are some of the foods that have more load of these substances. According to the research, certain behaviors such as low concentration or hyperactivity, among others, can be found related to the intake of dyes E102, E124, E110, E122, E104, E129 and a single preservative, E211. A fact that we must highlight, in the United States and in the Nordic countries these substances are prohibited, it must be remembered that the policy of the Nordic countries strongly ensures the health of their citizens, for something it will be that these substances are banned there.
However, in the European Union these dyes and preservatives are legalized being used in a large number of products. The FSA (Food Safety Agency of the United Kingdom) has confirmed these results, this will only emphasize the struggle of some organizations that have been indicating for some years that child behavior would improve considerably if these substances were eliminated.
When a certain product can affect health, it should be immediately supervised and act accordingly, discard it or accept it, but what cannot be tolerated are the FSA statements, which indicates that for the moment it will not take measures until the results They are not published in a scientific journal and this process can take many months.
Are not these statements outrageous?
