Twin outshines brother on additive-free diet
An experiment involving identical twins has provided further evidence of the effect food additives
have on children’s behaviour.
Michael and Christopher Parker, aged five, were put on separate diets to test whether additives that were
routinely added to popular children’s foods caused temper tantrums and hyperactivity.
After two weeks, Michael, who was banned from eating snacks containing additives, became calmer,
chattier and more assertive than his brother, whose diet was unchanged.
Professor Jim Stevenson, a child psychologist from Southampton University, devised tests to measure the
twin’s concentration and IQ. Before the experiment, they achieved identical scores, but a fortnight later
Michael outperformed his brother by 15 per cent.
Ian Tokelove, from the Food Commission which campaigns for safer and healthier food, called on the
Government to investigate the ‘cocktail’ of additives that are added to popular children’s foods.
/adapted from The Daily Telegraph/

a) to test if children’s favourite foods are as healthy as expected
b) to test if some ingredients can influence children’s behaviour
c) to test if children’s foods contain enough healthy ingredients
d) to test why some children are more hyperactive than others
2. What is it that Michael did not become as a result of a healthier diet?
a) talkative
b) peaceful
c) creative
d) self-confident

a) when the experiment was completed.

4. As a result of the experiment, the government was challenged to
a) promote a healthier diet for children.
