Food Allergies:
Few But Severe

Environmental irritants trigger
half of all asthma attacks, fol-
lowed by allergens, respiratory
infections, exercise and food al-
lergies.
Just 6-8 percent of asthmatic
children and 2 percent of asth-
matic adults — out of 10 million
Americans with asthma — have
symptoms triggered by food
sources.
A brochure offered by the In-
ternational Food Information
Council Foundation and Scripps
Clinic and &search Famdation
in La Jolla, Calif., outlines foods
that have been shown to trigger
asthma symptoms.
According to "What You
Should Know About Asthma
and Food," substantial scientif-
ic investigation has shown that
sulfites and sulfiting agents can
cause wheezing and other symp-
toms. These include sulfur diox-
ide, sodium bisulfite, potassium
bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite,
potassium metabisulfite and
sodium sulfate. And they can be
found in dried fruits, dried veg-
etables, wine, shrimp, bottled
lemon or lime juice and pickled
foods, such as pickles, relishes,
peppers and sauerkraut.
Allergies to foods like milk,
eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy,
wheat, fish and shellfish also can
exacerbate asthma symptoms.
However, not everyone who is di-
agnosed with a food allergy also
suffers from asthma.
It would seem easy to avoid
foods that trigger asthma, but
sometimes asthmatics also have
to be food detectives, reading
food labels and asking about in-
gredients when ordering meals
in restaurants.
The brochure is available free
by sending a self-addressed,
stamped, legal-sized envelope to
Asthma and Food, IFIC Foun-
dation, P.O. Box 65708, Wash-
ington, DC 20035. It's also
available on the Internet at

INSTITUT DE BEALTE

Increasingly, the case is being made
for children to start orthodontic treat-
ment before they reach adolescence. As
a result, some orthodontists report that
they are seeing 25 percent more patients
under the age of eleven than they did
just a few years ago. While problems
with teeth and jaws may be corrected
at any age, there are compelling reasons
to get an early jump on them. Because
young growing teeth and bones are more
pliable than older ones, they lend them-
selves to greater changes in a shorter
period of time. Early treatment also re-
duces the risk of relapse because teeth
and bones that complete their growth
under treatment are set more solidly in
their positions. To find out if your child
could benefit from early treatment, it is
a good idea to have him or her exam-

ined by the orthodontist by age seven.
Every orthodontist's philosophy is a
little different, but most agree that when
treatment is begun at an early age, teeth
can be moved into their proper positions
more easily, with less physical discom-
fort for your child and better retention
after braces come off. To schedule a con-
sultation, call our office at 360-7700, or
see us at 8362 Richardson in Commerce
1\vp./West Bloomfield. Evening and Sat-
urday hours are available.

P.S. Early treatment is generally ap-
plicable to only certain problems, such
as skeletal abnormalities, buckteeth,
and severe crowding.
