Food allergies may be on the rise. While doctors report that in the past only a small segment of their patients, around 5%, were afflicted with allergies, today a much larger portion are. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of hard data to support anecdotal evidence like this because there is not a lot of money that goes into food allergy research. The problem is of particular concern because some doctors also believe that near-fatal reactions are becoming more common.
Since even medical professionals are relying on what they're seen and not necessarily what they've studied, does anyone else feel this way?
It seems that more and more people are claiming to have "allergies" and "sensitivities" or, even more vaguely, "to have issues with" various food products. While many people do have food-related problems, is it possible that this is just hypochondria, or are allergies really getting worse?
