Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no gainsaying that food and drink is one of the elements that is vital to human survival, in fact, food and drink is to the body what fuel is to the vehicle... however, not everyone react to the same type of food the same way. Besides, it is a well-known fact that food items can be prepared in different ways from grilled to fried or from cooked to roasted etc. But the truth of the matter is that some types of foods or its choice of preparation might cause some form of negative reactions in some individual's system while it will not in the others. These reactions from individual is termed allergy! So, the question that might well up in your mind at this point is 'exactly what is food allergy or allergic reaction? Well, it is simply described as the type of effect or reaction (immunologic) that is triggered by protein content of food. The bottom line is that any food item that triggers allergic reaction in individual A does not necessarily have to do the same in individual B. Thus, it is the responsibility of each and every individual to avoid any food that triggers this reaction in his or her system. Overall, food stuffs such as peanuts, soya, shellfish, tree nuts, fish, and eggs may trigger allergic reactions in grown-ups, but this does not in any way mean that children are not also allergic to some food stuffs. Nonetheless, in actual fact, food items such as eggs, peanuts and milk will certainly not cause allergic reactions in children; at least it has not been seen so far! However, in case you are showing allergy to milk products, then there is a possibility that you are allergic to the protein content in cow milk; all you have to do is to replace cow milk with soy beans milk or rice milk instead of doing away with milk altogether. Yes, this way, you will still be getting the nutrients that you need from milk products without missing them altogether! Well, I have to tell you ...now is the time to get your copy of this book and avail yourself of all the details to get yourself or your love ones the allergy solution information they need be set on the path to freedom!

Download or read book Finding a Path to Safety in Food Allergy written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-05-27 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years, public concerns have grown in response to the apparent rising prevalence of food allergy and related atopic conditions, such as eczema. Although evidence on the true prevalence of food allergy is complicated by insufficient or inconsistent data and studies with variable methodologies, many health care experts who care for patients agree that a real increase in food allergy has occurred and that it is unlikely to be due simply to an increase in awareness and better tools for diagnosis. Many stakeholders are concerned about these increases, including the general public, policy makers, regulatory agencies, the food industry, scientists, clinicians, and especially families of children and young people suffering from food allergy. At the present time, however, despite a mounting body of data on the prevalence, health consequences, and associated costs of food allergy, this chronic disease has not garnered the level of societal attention that it warrants. Moreover, for patients and families at risk, recommendations and guidelines have not been clear about preventing exposure or the onset of reactions or for managing this disease. Finding a Path to Safety in Food Allergy examines critical issues related to food allergy, including the prevalence and severity of food allergy and its impact on affected individuals, families, and communities; and current understanding of food allergy as a disease, and in diagnostics, treatments, prevention, and public policy. This report seeks to: clarify the nature of the disease, its causes, and its current management; highlight gaps in knowledge; encourage the implementation of management tools at many levels and among many stakeholders; and delineate a roadmap to safety for those who have, or are at risk of developing, food allergy, as well as for others in society who are responsible for public health.
