Fatty Foods May Cause Higher Allergy Risk |
Research reported in the Anaphylaxis Campaign's newsletter suggests allergens present in high fat foods (such as nuts in chocolate) may trigger more severe reactions than those in low fat foods. It would appear that the allergic person may no get the same warning signals if the allergen in a high fat food and may therefore eat more of it allowing the allergen to get further into the system before the reaction starts.
