For anyone who refutes claims that e numbers don't actually influence behaviour.....

get over here and take a look at my daughter right now! She is currently doing manic circuits around the living room with glazed eyes; 20 minutes ago she was sobbing/thrashing in an hysterical fit.

I have rarely seen her like this; we decorated some shop bought gingerbread cookies with coloured icing and hundreds and thousands earlier. Definitely the cause of this uncharacteristically crazy behaviour!

There wasn't supposed to be a 'don't' in the title.

Lol. I had a 'purple party' when I was a student. All the food was purple with food colouring. I was as high as a kite. Fabulous.

I used to go off like a rocket from eating skittles.

It's pretty scary!
