EXCERPT FROM THE INTRODUCTION…  Given the fact that links have been clearly demonstrated between certain food additives (especially synthetic colours) and harmful effects in young children including hyperactivity, learning deficits and behavioural problems, the continued addition of these chemicals to foods marketed at children is tantamount to criminal negligence. Why? Because the first seven or so years of a child’s life are critical to establishing a foundation on which they build their future health, relationship and career paths. If these precious moments are distorted and ultimately lost by the unnecessary addition to their diets of synthetic chemical additives, they can never be regained.
