Ban artificial colours (E numbers) from children's medicine in the UK
Many medicines for children and babies still contain dangerous E numbers. E.g Calpol has E122; a colour which can cause health issues, behavioural problems and hyperactivity in children. The FSA advises against giving such colourings to children. Natural colours should be used instead if required.
Much information is available, but here are just a few of the links:
