I've extensively looked into the research on the dyes themselves and it's all incredibly suspect. There are a lot of low quality studies as well as a lot of correlation between food dyes and things like income and electronic use and etc. I don't personally believe any of the supposed health risks of modern colorings are worth the worry. But ironically, the whole point of food coloring is to create strong emotional responses with a minimum amount of ingredients. So psychosomatic feelings from kids and parents... is kind of the point! The health effect of the ingredient could mostly be irrelevant. So I think the case to ban artificial colors on the grounds of manipulation is stronger than it is purely health.
