The challenge food bar prepared under the supervision of the Nutrition Foundation contains 13 mg of a food-coloring mixture. This dose was calculated by dividing the average daily consumption of food coloring in the United States by the total population, yielding a figure of 26 mg. Since food colorings are not ingested in one large bolus, the amount contained in each food bar was arbitrarily set at one half that dose. In most studies, two food bars were taken daily, with a time interval of four hours between doses. Since
