How it works
Certain artificial food dyes (Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6) may affect neurological function in sensitive individuals. Sodium benzoate in combination with certain dyes has shown effects in RCTs.
Evidence is most consistent for a subgroup of children with ADHD and food sensitivity — not universal. An elimination trial under dietitian supervision is the best way to assess individual response.
Dietary changes
Consider speaking to a GP, dietitian, or naturopath before making significant changes to your diet, particularly if you have an existing health condition.
