Abstract

Wie kent niet het verhaal van Achilles, de onkwetsbare held uit de Griekse mythologie die tóch een zwak puntje had dat hem uiteindelijk velde. Dat lijkt een analogie met voedselallergieën, waar ook geen kruid tegen gewassen leek. Vermijden is vaak de belangrijkste ‘therapeutische’ optie. Helaas blijkt 'vermijden' van allergenen regelmatig te mislukken. In het ergste geval heeft dat dramatische gevolgen. Maar net als bij Achilles, lijkt het erop dat allergieën tóch zwakke punten hebben, en écht aangepakt kunnen worden! In dit boek wordt op een toegankelijke en voor niet-specialisten begrijpelijke manier uiteengezet wat allergieën zijn, maar ook wat we er niet toe rekenen (allergieën en toch-niet-allergieën lijken soms bedrieglijk veel op elkaar!). Het is geen naslagwerk of zelfhulpgids. Het gaat in op waar de oorzaken van (vooral voedsel-)allergieën lijken te liggen en wat de veroorzakers zijn. Daarnaast komen de benaderingen aan bod om het leven van allergische mensen aangenamer en veiliger te maken. Er lijkt licht te gloren aan het einde van de zo lang zo duistere tunnel. Harry Wichers is een biochemicus met een bijzondere interesse in immunologie. Hij is geen arts of ervaringsdeskundige. Via zijn werk probeert hij een bijdrage te leveren aan het terugdringen en beheersbaar maken van de schijnbaar toenemende allergieproblematiek, door de voedingskundige en voedseltechnologische dimensie te onderzoeken.

Abstract

An easy-to-understand introduction to food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances-unique but related conditions affecting many children and adults. The information, guidance, and resources offered make this a valuable tool for anyone struggling with negative reactions to certain foods. While many people think that any negative reaction after eating a food indicates an allergy, that's not the case. True food allergies, along with more common food intolerances and sensitivities, can produce a wide range of symptoms, from unpleasant bloating to life-threatening anaphylactic shock. What causes these conditions, and how can they be treated or managed? Why are certain foods, like peanuts and milk, more problematic than others? Why are food allergies on the rise, and is this only a problem in the industrialized world? Food Allergies and Sensitivities: Your Questions Answered, a part of Greenwood's Q&A Health Guides series, answers these and other questions related to this fascinating topic. Each book in this series follows a reader-friendly question-and-answer format that anticipates readers' needs and concerns. Prevalent myths and misconceptions are identified and dispelled, and a collection of case studies illustrates key concepts and issues through relatable stories and insightful recommendations. The book also includes a section on health literacy, equipping teens and young adults with practical tools and strategies for finding, evaluating, and using credible sources of health information both on and off the internet-important skills that contribute to a lifetime of healthy decision-making.

Abstract

Controlling allergens in food is a matter of increasing importance for the food industry, especially in light of recent legislation. Effective handling of allergens depends on identifying allergenic ingredients, creating separate production lines for allergen-free products, and effective labelling to inform consumers about which products are safe to eat. Recent attention has also focused on novel methods to manage allergens in food, for example by reducing allergenicity through the prudent selection of raw food materials and improved processing techniques. This important collection provides a

Abstract

This Special Issue of Nutrients is addressing the topic ‘Nutrition, Diet and Food Allergy’. Globally, food allergy affects 1.5% of adults and 5% of children and this prevalence is increasing in recent decades, representing a public health problem. Different mechanisms are involved in food allergic diseases with distinctive clinical characteristics: IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated phenotypes will be distinguished in the Issue, considering the early recent literature on the prevalence, age of onset, follow-up recommendations and duration of food allergies. Moreover, the management of these fascinating diseases will be discussed with particular attention on nutritional hazards, risks of allergic reactions to new allergens, problems with missed labelling (precautionary allergen labelling (PAL)). Especially, the dietary restrictions and the re-introduction of allergens lead to a significant burden for affected patients, fear of accidental ingestions and related risk of severe reactions, resulting in a reduced quality of life among patients with food allergies.

Abstract

In 1973, San Francisco allergist Ben Feingold created an uproar by claiming that synthetic food additives triggered hyperactivity, then the most commonly diagnosed childhood disorder in the United States. He contended that the epidemic should not be treated with drugs such as Ritalin but, instead, with a food additive-free diet. Parents and the media considered his treatment, the Feingold diet, a compelling alternative. Physicians, however, were skeptical and designed dozens of trials to challenge the idea. The resulting medical opinion was that the diet did not work and it was rejected. Matthew Smith asserts that those scientific conclusions were, in fact, flawed. An Alternative History of Hyperactivity explores the origins of the Feingold diet, revealing why it became so popular, and the ways in which physicians, parents, and the public made decisions about whether it was a valid treatment for hyperactivity. Arguing that the fate of Feingold's therapy depended more on cultural, economic, and political factors than on the scientific protocols designed to test it, Smith suggests the lessons learned can help resolve medical controversies more effectively.
