Many researchers also believe that it may be associated with increased hyperactivity, cancer, multiple sclerosis and other diseases / disorders. Research on e-substances' effects are relatively new and in research circles, there are many who believe that one should act for "precautionary" principle and reduce to a minimum. Not later than January 16, 2011, there was an article that addressed the issue. A new EU regulation concerning food additives are introduced in Norway in 2011 and there are manufacturers required to label products with azo dyes with the warning: Can have a negative effect on children's behavior and concentration.
