With nearly 15 million Americans
suffering with some type of food allergy, it is fast becoming a
growing health concern. An estimated 6 million of those are young
children, and boys seem to develop more food allergies than girls.
According to a study done in 2008 by the Center for Disease
Control, there was an 18% increase in food allergies between 1997
and 2007, and the prevalence of peanut allergies tripled during that
time.
Of all the different foods that could cause an allergic reaction in
the body, there are eight of them that account for nearly 90% of all
food allergies: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (walnut, cashews,
pecans...), wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish.
Food allergies and food
sensitivities occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies a
food protein as a dangerous invader and mounts an immune response.
The symptoms may be mild rashes or hives, itching, and swelling. Or
they can be more severe such as trouble breathing, wheezing, and
loss of consciousness. Some food allergies, such as peanuts, can be
potentially fatal.
If you have sensitivities to certain foods, then you owe it to
yourself to learn about the LZR 7 Allergy Relief System. You can
