FDA panel vote

At first I was disheartened to hear this news, but there actually is some movement on the part of the FDA to admit that food dyes might cause problems in some children. 

Some good things to consider:
The vote was narrow, 6-8
The FDA is actually admitting that improvement is seen in some children who remove dyes from their diet.
All but one member voted to recommend further study on the issue.
