Food additives
I was watching Channel 5 news last night and was amazed to hear that the powers that be have just discovered that food additives may be making children hyperactive. Is this a joke or what I thought. About 23 years ago I put my then 6 year old daughter on an additive free diet because she was hyperactive and I'd heard it might help. Well within 2 weeks she had calmed down a huge amount and had started to sleep through the night for the first time ever. I was laughed at and told it was a load of old cobblers (even though I knew it was working) and now suddenly 23 years later it's in the news that companies are being asked to take all additives out of certain foods. Perhaps it just takes a while for these people to catch up.
