     Several of my grandchildren have reactions to the red food dye. I didn't
     realize how many products contained them. The other day my son-in-law
     forgot and bought the kids "Skittles" and my grandson was bouncing off
     the walls and real nasty...Have to check everything, even Vitamins and
     cereal...It's worth it, though, just for his sake. He doesn't like to
     be out of control like that....
