Wild animals’ behaviour is indeed “important to look at to make sure a chemical is safe” (4 September, p 10). So isn’t it extraordinary that food regulators refuse to look at documented behaviour and learning effects from food additives before approving their use in the human animal?
Even more extraordinary, a recent Freedom of Information search in Australia revealed that regulators didn’t even have to produce scientific evidence before approval or extended use for two food additives – see http://fedupwithfoodadditives.info/features/FOI/FOI.htm
More unteachable kids, autism, hyperactivity and road rage, anyone?
