Case Studies of Effects of Artificial Food Colors on Hyperactivity.
Spring, Carl; And Others
Journal of Special Education, v15 n3 p361-72 Fall 1981
A double blind, double crossover study with six hyperactive boys (8 to 13 years old) tested B. Feingold's hypothesis that synthetic food colors cause hyperactivity in some children. All Ss were on the Feingold diet, eliminating artificial colors and flavors. The authors conclude that evidence for Feingold's hypothesis is weak. (Author)
