Mind altering sweeties for the children!

Apologies from me as well.
I too misread the "on mind altering drugs cause of those symptoms." part.

Still, your thread title is a little more sensational than the truth of the content.

There are very few food items that aren't loaded with crap anymore, much of it toxic and harmful. Its sad really.
As for the artificial colors, its in almost everything.

doesn't it make you happy to pay taxes to so that your hard earned money is to pay for these government inspectors to screw you and you and your family all for a profit .

Gets one wondering what is in these artifical colors, it cant be good.
Where do they source them from?

Thinking about the yellow/orange that makes Kraft Mac and Cheese look like
Cheddar cheese, that color comes from coal tar!

E129 is the one that catches my eye though. Banned in 9 countries. OP is in the UK, but its still legal in America. Which tells me..
America will ride anything they can till the lawsuits pile up. We just quit using asbestos in the late 80s, early 90s while people in Europe quit using it in the early 70s. At least according to things I have researched about it(Grandpa has mesothelioma). If it makes money and can fly under radar and is cheap. It will be used. Health effects of the general population is of no concern to them.

so that is what did it to me [ twitch ] i need my fix mum .

you know what they say about reality being for people that cannot handle drugs .

wheres the candyman i want some

I know it;s in almost everything, but that doesn't make it right. This is the first time I've seen it actually written on the packet like that though.

Gross... it's a cliché thing to say but parents should know better and should at least know what their children are ingesting. To me, that goes without saying. Read labels, know your ingredients.

Also, the damned candy was MADE IN CHINA

We stopped using it a few years ago, but there's still plenty of it about. Just had some removed from my home. Many people dont realize they put it in paint and floor tiles etc.

Just keep taking the chemicals and you'll be just fine.

And try looking a little harder at the label.

Umm, cause as far as I know, most kids don't eat sugar right out of the bag?

That's a good point! But it made me think, I consider the amount of coffee I drink as extreme, seeing as I never sleep anyway. but I'd never considered the amount of sugar I had with it to keep it sweet. Oo

definitely going to cut it out for a while to see if it changes anything

Or better yet, switch to all natural 100% locally procured HONEY! It's the most amazing food, it cures everything, solves all your problems, and plus... it has electrolytes!

This candy though, sucks!!! It should be illegal...its pretty obvious there's NO WAY that stuff has electrolytes. How stupid do they think we are??

I saw a warning label like this yesterday on the side of Lucky Charms breakfast cereal.
I don't buy that junk BTW, it's my sister's. For some reason, in the UK, it has become fashionable for teenage girls and twenty-somethings to buy American junk-food from specialised American junk-food shops. There must be a law against this given that half of the ingredients are illegal in this country.
Please keep your poison, we don't need it.

The only other time I've seen a label like that is on the side of Iron Bru.

At least they're admitting excessive sugary candies can have effects on young developing minds - that's a step in the right direction....a shame it's not common knowledge to some parents.

I've seen kids so hyped on sugar it's indescribable!

A sweet treat is nice now and again, and since I have mild hypoglycemia, I'm somewhat sugar dependant on occassion....I'm wondering if this brand of sweet is for kids with similar conditions.

Brain chemistry is so varied, and individual metabolisms vary - so it's important parents know when a sugary treat might be intended for special cases such as low blood sugar....and not to give it to an already hyperactive child.

The warning has nothing to do with sugar though. We all know sugar can give people a temporary boost in energy.
The warning is for three of the E numbers they use, where they are openly admitting/disclaiming that they "may cause adverse effects on activity (behaviour) and attention."
Sounds like a recipe for ADD/ADHD if you ask me. I don't know which part people are missing.

S&F

Strawberry milk anyone?

A combination of two synthetic red food dyes – Ponceau 4R (E124) and erythrosine (E127) are two of the colourants a UK study found that aggravate behavioural problems in children. In response to the study, food manufacturers in Europe who use one or more of the dyes will have to put a warning that reads “May have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children” on those products by 2010.

Hi, thanks...apparently they will label more than just gmo in europe...
Nice!!
