As parents, we have all had that night were your kids are running laps around the house and you can barely keep your eyes open. In these moments we will do almost anything to get our kids to go to sleep. According to some mom's your kids might not be going to bed because they have consumed Red 40. Red 40 is rumored to make your kids extremely hyperactive.

Healthline stated, "Red 40 and other AFCs can cause allergic reactions in some people. Research shows they can also cause hyperactivity in children and immune system tumors in mice."

These facts are scary! No parent wants to give their child harmful food. Some mothers report that their kids aren't just hyper they are extremely hard to control when given Red 40.

I had never noticed if my kids were hyped up after consuming Red 40 so I intentionally bought them some fruit snacks with the coloring. After my kids had consumed the fruit snacks I didn't notice anything different in their behavior.

Have your kids consumed Red 40? If so, what was your experience?
