  • For those interested in the actual science part of the article:

    Why the fuss over food coloring? Are natural dyes really that much better for our health?

    “They’re better for some people’s health,” says Jamie Alan, a professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University. “There is a very small percentage of children who are very sensitive to these dyes. And when they eat these dyes, they display behaviors that we sometimes associate with ADHD.”

    Alan stresses that there is no evidence that those kids actually develop ADHD. But research has found that after eating foods containing certain dyes, children, including those diagnosed with ADHD or autism, can show signs of hyperactivity, moodiness and inattentiveness. However many of these foods, particularly candy and soda, also contain sugar, which has also been connected to hyperactive behavior.

    Alan recommends that parents talk to a pediatrician and try an elimination diet to make sure the dye and not another ingredient is to blame. But she largely supports phasing out artificial dyes; most public health advocates think this is a good idea. “In my opinion,” Alan says, “because we’re talking about children and because they are a vulnerable population, I do think this is a great thing to do. But I will recognize that it is not going to impact the vast majority of the population.”

    None of this changes the fact that Robert F. Kennedy is a fucking moron.




  • Maybe because of the power imbalance? Wasn’t he her superior?

    I don’t see that being pertinent here. You think she was pressured into sleeping with her boss? I’d take that bet.

    What strange world do you live in? Usually women are treated much worse after such incidents.

    LOL, no, they’re not. You’re the one in a strange world, apparently.

    And in such case, why is HIS marriage her responsibility?

    Oh, I see. You don’t think the unattached person in an affair has any responsibility for wrecking a home, even though they know they’re doing it. What a strange sense of morality you have.

    I think you just like letting women off the hook because you’re sexist.
