A kid came up to me with the bag of Jalapeno Cheetos he just bought in the vending machine. He told me he didn't realize it had Red 40 in it and he is

not allowed to have Red 40.

A quick google told me that red 40 has been linked to behavioral problems in children and hyperactivity in children and adults.

He traded the Jalapeno Cheetos for a bag of Mini Oreos. I'm glad he chose those since sugar has no noticeable affect on children.

A co-worker claims to have an allergy to Red 40. I haven't cared enough to fact check if that's a thing. But figure it may as well be true. -- nm - sycor Sep 14, 15:26 2
- I developed an allergy to it well into adulthood, increasingly bad. - i.b! Sep 14, 22:17
- I still had my problems with red 40 tab open. A bit further down it says "Allergic reactions, such as skin rashes, hives, and even anaphylaxis" -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 15:39

I can only imagine this convo with my Mom 45 years ago, "Joey! You know you cant eat food with Red 40 in it!!! Its why you are a pain in the ass!!" -- (edited) - Jovian Sep 14, 14:48 2
