Non-pathogenic additive in children
A few years ago, TS. Benjamin Feingold, an allergist pediatrician, stated that childhood hyperactivity was significantly improved when they followed a diet that eliminated food additives, artificial colors and flavors as well as natural salicylates in fruits and vegetables. However, when scientifically verified, the diet offered by the doctor did not work as well as he said. Improvements in the dynamics of some children are primarily parents' concern.
In another study, a group of children with severe hyperactivity had a behavioral change in the worse when they consumed foods supplemented with artificial colors in large doses. However, the dose of the additive used in this study is many times greater than the actual amount in the food, so this discovery is not practical.
Also note that children can be very sensitive to any food additives. Therefore, if you are sure that your child's behavioral changes are related to your diet, talk to your doctor right away. The specialists will help you determine your child's condition accurately and make recommendations about cutting down on certain foods and offering alternative foods.
