E numbers in the news today.
22 Answers
Excuse my retrospect, but I am 100 percent confident that such an issue was paramount some 20+ years ago when I was a school pupil.
Oh whoopee do, new research!! So what? Surely any parent who can read (which excludes a few no doubt) must have realised that evidence has always led the public to accept that E numbers cause hyper-active activity and strange pre-pubetic mis-behaviour.
Remember Kia-ora and Umbonga scares circa 1983 ish?
Same thing surely.

Actually they don't say that E numbers cause hyperactivity in kids.
They say some addititives are associated with hyperactivity in some kids.
It's important because it's proper evidence with additives that are currently in use and not homespun wisdom from parents.
For example in one test children were taken to 2 "parties" in one they were fed lots of sugar but given calming games and in the other party the reverse happened.
But they told the parents they were the other way around!
The parents thought the children were more hyperactive after the party when they thought the children had had the sugar but they'd been actually been having fruit and sandwiches!
Carefully designed experiments are important.

Not quite sure. But I am sure it says on some of them in bold black "SMOKING KILLS".
Yes it does, but even a staunch anti smoker like me realises that not all smokers will die from smokers.
I am just pointed out that the use of my language has not negated the fact I have seen seen the news and thus realise that an entire populus will not be directly effective by the consumption of e numbers. And if there are double negatives in that last statement, hey ho!!

Right but simply saying E-numbers cause hyperactivity is wrong.
The tests were about certain additives not all of them and they did not establish a causal link.
These are important points not just a matter of symantecs
Otherwise we might ban E290 Carbon dioxide or E941 Nitrogen or E948 Oxygen
And we'd all have to stop breathing.
Sorry but details really are important

I just don't really see the point of the research. I, for instance, can see that when my son has any kind of sugar free squash his behaviour deteriorates, so answer is - don't let him have it. I don't need millions spent on research to show me that. I am more interested in things causing damage that you will not be aware of .i.e. research into the causes of disease.
