According to the Post article, the number of people suffering from food sensitivities is ex- pected to rise; however, medical experts aren't sure why. Some theo- rize that it's attributable to reduced contact with germs, exposure to environ- mental pollutants, the way some foods are processed, and other reasons. Until more is known, typically, the only remedy is to avoid the offending foods. Sales to food sensitive shoppers (a $4 billion+ industry) has in- creased notably since 2006, when the federal government required more detailed food labeling. A qualified dietitian/nutritionist can help recognize and manage a wide range of food tolerance issues. — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian Direct Your Questions For Barb And Counseling Inquiries To: Integrated Nutrition, LLC, 32401 Northwestern Hwy.
