I worked with an autistic kid for a couple years whose grandmother insisted that eating red dye made him very agitated. I didn’t really buy it but kept foods with red dye away from him. One day he got his hands on another kid’s food that had red dye and he went BONKERS for the next couple hours. So red dye making some kids act crazy is real.
You are correct. It’s been scientifically studied and documented. Red 40 is banned in CA as of three days ago for this exact reason.

Years, not days yeah?
not my red 40, how are my sodas supposed to be a nice yummy unnatural shade of red?

Can’t have too many credible sources.
~~Inb4: the idiots see a source link and immediately downvote thinking I’m trying to debunk some folksy truth they want to believe over reality.~~
This was unnecessarily antagonistic.
on your behalf? were you calling yourself out for being prickly?
Yeah. See comment history for context.
pass! but thank you. I thought I'd post a message to you instead of reading into post history and things like that. silly me.
All good, have a good one!
I had a friend in college who said it made her super hyper, so I believe it. She was responsible by that point being an adult and all, so she was quick to ask and avoid it.
Totally anecdotal, I've been getting respiratory issues and extreme tiredness from red and orange sodas. And that's entirely reproducible. So I had to cut them out of my diet for good.
