Description:
Twenty-two young children, maintained on a diet that excluded certain foods, were challenged intermittently with a blend of seven artificial colors in a double-blind trial. Parents' observations provided the criteria of response. One child that responded mildly to the challenge and one that responded dramatically were detected. The latter, a 34-month-old female, showed a significant increase in aversive behaviors. These results further confirm previous controlled studies.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Weiss, B -- Williams, J H -- Margen, S -- Abrams, B -- Caan, B -- Citron, L J -- Cox, C -- McKibben, J -- Ogar, D -- Schultz, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Mar 28;207(4438):1487-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7361103" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
