You bet they are! Look at the fine print on the package: it is a carcinogen ie: it causes cancer!
Learn about all of the artificial colors, flavors and preservatives and the effect they have on children. It is really frightening. Many of the artificial things we put into our foods are illegal in other countries. Many people use the Feingold diet which eliminates artificial ingredients from the children's diets for a variety of reasons. We use it to treat ADD symptoms and have had AMAZING results!

Better they have real sugar instead of all the chemicals. Always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to children.
