Plant-Based Proteins May Lead to Allergies
Scientists find that allergies to soy and peanuts can be activated by common meat-free alternatives based on other legumes, but most people won’t experience a reaction
17-Mar-2023
Many people keen to reduce their meat consumption are turning to substitutes made of legumes packed with protein, vitamins, and fiber. But allergies to legumes like soy or peanuts are both common and dangerous. Are patients allergic to particular legumes at risk from meat-free proteins made of ...
Peanut Allergy Prevention: Researchers Uncover Groundbreaking Solution
14-Feb-2023
Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine have found a way to block anaphylaxis caused by peanut allergies. The groundbreaking discovery could lead to life-saving therapeutics for people with severe peanut allergies. “There are treatments for symptoms in patients with food allergies, ...
Food allergies can be reversed in mice by targeting the microbiome
23-Aug-2022
Although many people with dietary allergies experience mild symptoms when exposed to triggering foods, some face potentially fatal consequences. A bacterial compound called butyrate that’s made by healthy microbiomes has shown promise against allergic reactions in lab tests, but it’s nasty to ...
FDA To Evaluate Potential Non-listed Food Allergens
19-Apr-2022
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced its plans to evaluate potential non-listed food allergens that are not one of the major nine food allergens identified by law in the United States. The agency has issued a draft guidance to outline its approach about the public health importance of ...
Serious allergic reactions to food among children stabilize since guideline changes
28-Feb-2022
The rate of increase in serious allergic reactions to food among children has flattened since changes to Australian infant feeding guidelines, a new study has found. The research, led by the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and the John James Medical Centre and published in The ...
Better identification of sesame in food packaging needed to avoid anaphylaxis
Study shows more than 50% of products did not declare sesame on the label
17-Dec-2021
In 2021, the US Congress passed the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education & Research Act which, among other things, added sesame to the list of allergens which are mandatory for inclusion on food labels by 2023. A new study in Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the scientific journal ...
First Danish estimates for the burden of disease for peanut allergy
Burden of disease data are useful for e.g. prioritizing health care initiatives
08-Feb-2021
Estimates of the disease burden relating to different diseases provide comparable—and thus better—data on how those diseases impact on public health. Decision-makers can use such knowledge to prioritize healthcare resources and initiatives. Globally, food allergies are a growing problem. Many ...
Making wheat and peanuts less allergenic
28-Jan-2021
The United States Department of Agriculture identifies a group of "big eight" foods that causes 90% of food allergies. Among these foods are wheat and peanuts. Sachin Rustgi, a member of the Crop Science Society of America, studies how we can use breeding to develop less allergenic varieties of ...
Even cooked carrots can trigger allergic reactions
Heating carrots does not destroy or only incompletely destroys the protein structures that can cause allergic reactions
23-Sep-2020
The consumption of raw carrots triggers allergic reactions in many people. Contrary to popular belief, cooked carrots can also have this effect. This was recently discovered by a research team at the University of Bayreuth. The carrot's allergen, Dau c 1, assumes a structure that is harmless to ...
Aerosol-printed graphene unveiled as low cost, faster food toxin sensor
They tested the sensors in a fish broth to see how effective they were at detecting histamines
11-Jun-2020
Researchers in the USA have developed a graphene-based electrochemical sensor capable of detecting histamines (allergens) and toxins in food much faster than standard laboratory tests. The team used aerosol-jet printing to create the sensor. The ability to change the pattern geometry on demand ...
