message: The sentence that refers to tartrazine as a coal tar derivative:  Does that refer to any aromatic hydrocarbon?  If so, which of the synthetic food dyes are not coal tar derivatives?  If none, we should note that.--Slashme 09:37, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

message: In the article, reference is made to the work of Dr. Feingold. Then it is debunked.  This is not the place to discuss the controversy over Feingold or his work; it is treated in detail in the 16-page article on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feingold_diet.  Anyhow, the studies mentioned here in an effort to derogate this diet are awfully awfully old, so it is simply silly to keep them as the only studies referred to.  I figured it would be in better taste to send people to the bigger article if they want to learn more, see the controversy, or whatever. Shulae 05:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I tried to go to the page at the last of the external links:
::The effect of blue food color on human waste 
but nothing happened.  The page was not found.  Can someone fix it? It certainly sounds interesting -- I know of some studies that found blue colons, but that was in people who were dead.Shulae 03:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: From the article:
:The FDA receives compensation for every pound of food dye it certifies (not inspects), which some may see as a conflict of interest in regard to the safety of these dyes..
Regarding the first:  The FDA is authorized to certify coloring "only upon payment of such fees, which shall be specified in such regulations, as may be necessary to provide, maintain, and equip an adequate service for such purposes." (21 USC 379e(e))  But I have not been able to verify that anyone has seen this as "a conflict of interest in regard to the safety of these dyes."  Remember that "some may see" would be considered weasel words.
:The American food industry uses 3000 tons of food color per year.
I was actually able to find two sources for this:  One in a book on prostate health and another in an article about pet birds.  Unfortunately, neither of these sources tell me how they came by this information, and in context it seems unrealiable to me.
So I am deleting both of these statements.  — MSchmahl… 14:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Food coloring (unsweetened Hershey's Cocoa and Kool-Aid) can be used to color hair or in the case of cocoa, enhance brown hair like tomato juice is used to enhance red hair. I came here to find out what causes hair to change color when food coloring is applied. Laura (talk) 01:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I would have found it useful to read a reference to the following article:http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/740082?sssdmh=dm1.677195&src=nldne which states that the FDA Food Advisory Committee voted to reject a request that foods containing artificial colouring have a warning label indicating "artificial food dyes may affect the behavior of some hyperactive children".  
I'd add this reference, but as I am new at this, perhaps best to leave it to the more skilled.  Mark (talk) 14:28, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
