IRELAND: Rate of food intolerance not rising, says study - (Irish Times)
January 31, 2008 – 7:37 pmParents are far more likely to believe babies are allergic to some foods than they actually are, according to new research.
For every child who actually had a food allergy, over three more children were believed wrongly by their parents to suffer from the condition, according to researchers at the University of Portsmouth.
The rate of food hypersensitivity is not rising, the three-year study of babies born on the Isle of Wight found.
Dr Carina Venter, who studied babies born in one year on the island, found that parents were too quick to assume their child had an allergy to a specific food.
