People and Food Allergies

Posted Oct 07 2008 7:19pm

In the last 5 - 10 years there seems to be an increase with people being allergic to certain foods.  As a kid I do not remember meeting or hearing about people with food allergies.  Probably sometime during college I came across people who were allergic to shrimp or shellfish.  Now its seems 3 out of 4 people have a problem with foods.  What is the definition of food allergies? Food allergies are defined as "toxic clinical reactions to food or food additives that involve the immune system".  The immune system defends the body from toxic reactions from the outside world.  Majority of the toxins enter the body thru the intestinal tract. There starts the cycle of an individual feeling sick.
The question we all should be asking our medical community or government , why are so many people today have food allergies? There is also another problem food intolerance. We will address in another post. We need an answer and solutions for the near future.
