Additives DO send kids hyper

Parents have been warned about the dangers of artificial additives in drinks, sweets and processed foods after new evidence emerged about a possible link to hyperactive behaviour in children.

Government food advisers immediately hardened their dietary advice after a study found normal children behaved impulsively and lost concentration.

Psychology professor Jim Stevenson, who led the Food Standards Agency commissioned study, said: ‘We now have clear evidence that mixtures of certain food colours and benzoate preservative can adversely influence the behaviour of children.’

Further evidence is that my cousin, Lee used to go off his head on pick & mix, he wouldn’t sleep for days.


Facebook profiles to be made public

Social networking website Facebook is to make the personal profiles of its 39million members available to online search engines next month.

The site will let those using Google, Ask or Yahoo! see if someone has a Facebook profile and see their photograph. Until now, only members or invited friends could see the information.

The only way to prevent details being revealed is to adjust security settings. Facebook said it hoped the move would attract more people to its site. The announcement is the latest security concern to dog the site.

However, the move is unlikely to affect anyone at MTV since everyone is far to busy working to spend anytime on facebook.


Unlikely nomination for team Beckham

It is an award they might not want to actually win - David and Victoria Beckham have been nominated for the title of Funniest Double Act at the annual Loaded Laftas Comedy Awards, voted for by readers of Loaded magazine.

The pair are up for the gong thanks to their bid to conquer the US.

Posh and Becks will find themselves up against comedians like Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins from The Friday Night Project, and David Mitchell and Robert Webb from Peep Show.

The nomination raises questions about what IS funny…How many series has My Family had now?
