Link In the late 1970s one of our children developed a very severe Infantile Eczema which was completely cured by a 2 week camping holiday in France. Within one hour of boarding a British Ferry for the return home the Infantile Eczema was back! Our son had consumed a carton of ‘Orange Drink’ containing E102 Tartrazine. Most of our consumables from France carried the ‘Sans Colorant’ (no artificial colourings) flash on their label. On hearing this story our GP confessed that the medication being used to treat the condition contained E102 Tartrazine. We had no more infantile eczema and our GP persuaded the Pharmaceutical Company to remove E102 from that widely used infant medication. Unfortunately E102 is still added to foods on sale in the UK.
