Turns out the alarmingly bright colored frosting was chock full of dyes. Now we are forced to bring our own cupcakes to birthdays because we always suspect that the cake and ice-cream will be full of dyes. Thanks for your informative blog. Eliminating dyes from my family's diet has made parenting so much easier. We still have our occasional dye-related slip-ups --immediately followed by temper tantrum - but that is now a rarity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679097304712977790.post-56808539638252174402010-08-08T00:24:59.906-04:002010-08-08T00:24:59.906-04:00My three year old son developed a blinking tic las...My three year old son developed a blinking tic last spring. I was so distraught about it, and did some research to find answers (doc said there was nothing I could do). I learned that food dyes can bring on a tic in some kids. I immediately eliminated them from his diet and also switched his vitamin (that had dyes) to one with magnesium. The tic disappeared. This week he's had fruit snacks, M&Ms, artificially colored icing on a cupcake and Kool-Aid. Not intentional on my part - and my husband gave him the Kool-aid. The tic is back! It's crazy that this stuff is still used in foods! It's time for me to pay attention to his diet again. It was good for me to see that food dyes really do cause a problem.katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044583159032336713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679097304712977790.post-67016268105719409162010-02-17T14:22:24.812-05:002010-02-17T14:22:24.812-05:00thank you for your blog. i have been researching ...thank you for your blog. i have been researching diet intervention for my non-diagnosed developmentally delayed son for well over a year and this is the first time i've seen this evidence so clearly. <br /><br />www.atypicalmother.blogspot.comkvlmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558072254087023695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679097304712977790.post-66446827339157541202009-04-17T07:55:00.000-04:002009-04-17T07:55:00.000-04:00I have updated my links on the right to include th...I have updated my links on the right to include the petition site.

HOW HAVE I NOT...I AM FLABBERGASTED! I AM OUTRAGED!<br />HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS BEFORE? I will be going thru all my foods tomorrow while most of my kids are in school! And I am going to be more aware while shopping. WOW - I just can't believe it! US best place to be - I keep pondring that yet I keep hearing that we are so behind with so much stuff when it comes to our kids - this is ridiculous! Please tell me how I can find out about all of the resturants, and off name brands and such. I have a 7 year old Foster son who was diagnosed with ADHD, his moms solution was a Slim Jim - For protein she said - he'll calm down after he has some protein, WELL - All it took was overall healthier eating and LOTS of excercise, and no more hour upon hour of TV & computer! HOWEVER - I was talking with his teacher and I have always noticed my self that he has really great SMART, POWERFUL, GREAT, SHINING KID DAYS, and then low temper tantrum filled horrible days! I am going to definately test this out and I hope it works - even if his mother won't follow it after they go back with her - At least I can give him and his sister the knowledge now and maybe they can help themselves later on! I could write here for hours, but I'll stop now. Thanks for putting this out here, and I'd love more info - and any links to petition sites etc that I could help out with this cause.

I took him to his Doctor and was looked as about as crazy and I looked at Jacob when he was dancing, jumping, crawling and flopping around that day.just passin thruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07372787170816556815noreply@blogger.com
