Some of the most common food additives are associated with Hyper activity an adults are food dyes. Food dye allergies often cause symptoms very similar to those we associate with Hyper activity of all types, Such as ADD, ADHD and Depression in children.
Red food dye is the most common of culprits in undiagnosed food additive allergies in children. Commonly found in the candy and bottled juices we buy for our children. There are hidden dyes in so many products available on the store shelves.
The common symptoms associated with food additive allergies are Hyper activity, irritability, inability to concentrate and or focus, over sleeping and or inability to sleep, mood swings and sudden outbursts. The more hidden symptoms are digestive disorders, headache and dry skin.
The science of these allergies is rather simple. After ingesting food dyes the body experiences chemical changes similar to the changes in the chemicals of those who experience many behavioral disorders. Remember there is a proper balance of chemicals made in the body to keep us functioning normally in most settings. Our bodies try to use every part of the foods and drinks we ingest so it stands to reason that when you add chemicals to the mix there are likely to be consequences.
Try to eliminate food dye for a while and see if you notice a difference. Though some symptoms may take days if not weeks to subside others such as hyper activity start to subside within 24 hours. Some great alternatives are things dyed with beet juice, grape juice and of course dye free and organic products. Become a label reader... if it is a chemical...try to avoid it.
