Allergic Teen Dies After Eating Cookie - Yahoo!
This statement has me thinking
So we have not always had this problem?
Or have we and just did not track it correclty?
Or perhaps those with nut allergies just died back in the olden days of eating nuts and no one thought anything of it?
Seem to me growing up in the 70s/80s that I never heard of a kid with penut allegeries yet now-a-days lots of kids have this issue?
Why?
Is it that we as a society are finding ways to avoid what mother-nature is trying to fix? By this I mean (and sorry for the crude text not sure how to word it) but mother nature is doing evolution yet we are saving those that should perhaps not be saved so our species can continue. (ie. nut allegeries, mental deformation, etc...)
Is it that people in the olden days just did not know of nut allegeires and someone died they thought it was of something else?
Is it the processed food we now eat as oppose to the natural food they ate before?
This statement has me thinking
At least three million American children suffer from a food or digestive allergy, and the problem is growing, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Between 1997 and 2007, the figure rose 18 percent.
Severe food allergies stem from a combination of genes, environment and possibly diet, said Dr. Kari Nadeau, associate professor of allergies and immunology at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
