Food additives tied to "hyperactivity," study

Artifician sweeteners in drinks have caused a lot of controversy as of late, and now scientists reporting in the Lancelot medical journal state that common food additives, chemicals added for coloring and preservation, are tied to hyperactivity and other behavioral side-effects.
This is a significant report that should be studied further, and it casts real doubt on the safety of many common drinks, possibly putting the muli-billion dollar industry in a negative light. It also should bolster the appeal of "organic" products, that offer 100% natural ingredients.
