`De los añadidos un riesgo a la salud de niños'

Se ha advertido a los padres que quiten los aditivos alimenticios ligados al comportamiento hiperactivo de las dietas de los niños por el experto principal del EU en la edición.

El dr Juan Larsen, que dirigieron el panel del alimento de la autoridad europea de la seguridad en los añadidos, dijo que la medida sería proteger salud “prudente” a los jóvenes'.

Sus comentarios vinieron mientras que los investigadores en la universidad de Southampton advirtieron que los añadidos dañen la “salud psicologica” de niños, llevando a cabo detrás su progreso en la escuela y su capacidad de aprender leer en una edad joven.

The discovery has triggered calls from consumer and health groups for a total ban on additives.

At yesterday’s EFSA conference in Brussels, Dr Larsen, a member of the Danish National Food Institute, said: “It would be prudent to take these out of the diet. It seems they may have this ability to worsen something that is going on.

“If parents think there might be a problem - such as with behaviour - they should try removing these additives.”

Despite campaigners - including the Daily Mail - lobbying to have dangerous additives banned from foods, the Government has so far refused to do so.

However, the Foods Standards Agency has passed responsibility on a final decision to the EFSA and a panel headed by Dr Larsen.

But he has refused to say whether he would like a total ban, insisting his team would need to examine properly the Southampton research.

The study, which has been praised as the most thorough of its kind, was led by Professor Jim Stevenson.

It concluded that additives can cause “significant adverse effects” in children.

Professor Stevenson added: “I feel that the effects we are seeing here are sufficiently great to represent a threat to health.”
