Artificial dyes are not the only way to create brightly colored foods; many countries use vegetable-based dyes to achieve the
same affect. Current and past experts in environmental medicine have argued there is evidence linking artificial food dyes
to behavioral problems in children. In Europe, most foods that contain artificial dyes must carry labels warning they may
cause hyperactivity in children. This warning may be the end of artificial food dyes in Europe, especially for foods commonly
eaten by children. It is time to accept the idea that artificially colored food is not worth the health risks.
