The orange food coloring tartrazine (E102) is one of many additives which has been known to influence behavior and possibly trigger the symptoms of ADHD. Others include Sunset Yellow (E110), Erythrosine (E127), Sodium benzoate (E211), Benzoic acid (E219), Carmoisine (122), and Ponceau 4R (E124). BHA (E320) and BHT (E321) have also been associated with problems. Many children respond positively to the elimination of all food dyes and additives in their diet.
