Senate Move on FDA Funding Praised Statement of CSPI Food Safety Director

Senate Move on FDA Funding Praised 5-08-08 Senate Move on FDA Funding Praised Statement of CSPI Food Safety Director Caroline Smith DeWaal Along with my colleagues in the Alliance for a Stronger FDA, I stand in strong support of Senator Herb Kohl's move to include $275 million in new funding for the Food and Drug Administration in the pending emergency supplemental appropriations bill. Virtually no one, inside or outside Congress, believes that the FDA has the resources necessary to assure the safety of Americans' food, drugs, and medical devices. The proof hits home for American consumers every day. How many more Americans must come down with a dangerous foodborne illness before Congress acts? How many more nationwide recalls or outbreaks will it take before the FDA is given the resources it needs to keep consumers safe? We urge all members of the Appropriations Committee and the leadership of both chambers of Congress to support Senator Kohl's amendment. The need for this new funding is critical. http://www.cspinet.org

CSPI Urges FDA to Ban Artificial Food Dyes Linked to Behavior Problems

CSPI Urges FDA to Ban Artificial Food Dyes Linked to Behavior Problems 6-3-08 CSPI Urges FDA to Ban Artificial Food Dyes Linked to Behavior Problems Dyes Called "Secret Shame" of Food Industry and Regulators Yellow 5, Red 40, and six other widely used artificial colorings are linked to hyperactivity and behavior problems in children and should be prohibited from use in foods, according to the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest. The group today formally petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to ban the dyes, several of which are already being phased out in the United Kingdom. The other six dyes are Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Orange B, Red 3, and Yellow 6. Synthetic food dyes have been suspected of disrupting children's behavior since the 1970s, when Dr. Ben Feingold, a San Francisco allergist, reported that his patients improved when their diets were changed. Numerous controlled studies conducted over the next three decades in the United States, Europe, and Australia proved that some children�s behavior is worsened by artificial dyes, but the government did nothing to discourage their use and food manufacturers greatly increased their reliance on them. A comprehensive 2004 meta-analysis of the medical literature concluded that artificial dyes affect children's behavior, and two recent studies funded by the British government found that dyes (as well as the preservative sodium benzoate) adversely affect kids' behavior. Unlike most previous studies, those British studies tested children in the general population, not children whose parents suspected they were sensitive to dyes. As a result, the British government is successfully pressuring food manufacturers to switch to safer colorings. "We spent years trying to figure out the cause of our son's behavioral problems," said Judy Mann, of Silver Spring, Md. "For a long time, we thought the culprit was sugar. But when we started carefully monitoring everything he ate we were able to s ..

Coke, Pepsi's New Global Commitment on Advertising to Kids Called Weak

Coke, Pepsi's New Global Commitment on Advertising to Kids Called Weak Coke, Pepsi's New Global Commitment on Advertising to Kids Called Weak Statement of CSPI Legal Director Bruce Silverglade Coke and Pepsi are proving that it's hard to adopt a strong anti-obesity policy when your core products are major causes of obesity. The global commitment announced today by Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and other soft drink companies to stop targeting advertising to children under 12 is based on a weak policy followed in the United States, which suffers from one of the highest childhood obesity rates in the world. Coke and Pepsi never did heavy-duty direct advertising to kids under 12 in the U.S., but instead marketed to American children through other means such as advertising on TV programs viewed by families. The results have been disastrous for childhood obesity rates in the U.S. Instead of mimicking the U.S. policy worldwide, the companies should have agreed to the stricter curbs demanded by the British government and to an International Code of Marketing of Foods and Beverages to Children that has been proposed by consumer organizations world-wide. CSPI is leading a Global Dump Soft Drinks Campaign that encourages consumer groups and governments to reduce the consumption of soda, the only food or beverage shown to promote obesity. In addition to stopping advertising to children, the campaign advocates smaller container sizes, reduced accessibility, warning notices, calorie labeling on restaurant menu boards and vending machines, and small taxes on soda that would fund health campaigns http://www.cspinet.org
