Key speakers will address a broad range of food and agricultural issues. view more (1999-09-06)
Colds flourish in damp homes
People living in damp homes are likely to have four or more colds a year, suggests a study in Thorax. Over 10 500 first year students in Finland responded to a questionnaire about living conditions and levels of asthma, allergy, and respiratory infections. Dampness was assessed by visible evidence of mould and water stains and/or water damage... view more... (2001-05-16)
Hydrolysed infant formula prevents childhood allergies in high risk children
Although breast-feeding is recommended to mothers as being the healthiest way to feed babies, it is not always possible. New evidence from a Cochrane review concludes that where exclusive breast-feeding is not possible for an infant, hydrolysed protein formulae in high-risk infants help prevent childhood allergies. Many young children who develop... view more... (2003-11-20)
Milk is safe, even encouraged, for some children after treatment for milk allergy
Some children with a history of severe milk allergy can safely drink milk and consume other dairy products every day, according to research led by the Johns Hopkins Children's Center and published in the Aug. 10 online edition of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. view more (2009-08-19)
N.C. A&T food scientist develops process for allergen-free peanuts
An agricultural researcher at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University has developed a simple process to make allergen-free peanuts. view more (2007-07-24)
New tests for nut allergens
Scientists in Florida have developed sensitive new tests to detect potentially fatal nut traces in food. Their study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, originally set out to find ways of processing nuts to make them safe for allergy sufferers. The techniques they developed during the analysis included the discovery... view more... (2004-06-15)
Even natural perfumes may cause allergies
Hypersensitivity to perfumes is the most common contact allergy in adults. Research at the University of Gothenburg has demonstrated that even natural aromatic oils, which many deem harmless compared to synthetic perfumes, may cause allergic reactions. view more (2009-02-04)
The road to allergy
A UK scientist has discovered the route and type of transport taken by peanut proteins through the gut to the immune system. This route favours an immune response, which helps explain why peanuts are one of the most allergenic foods. view more (2004-11-18)
Fast-food diet cancels out benefits of breastfeeding in preventing asthma
Many studies have shown that breastfeeding appears to reduce the chance of children developing asthma. But a newly published study led by a University of Alberta professor has found that eating fast food more than once or twice a week negated the beneficial effects that breastfeeding has in protecting children from the respiratory disease. view more (2009-01-27)
Possible biological explanation for C-Section-linked allergies and asthma found
Scientists believe they may have identified a biological explanation for the link between cesarean-section delivery and risk of allergy and asthma in childhood. view more (2008-05-21)
Common fragrance ingredients in shampoos and conditioners are frequent causes of eczema
Considerably more people than previously believed are allergic to the most common fragrance ingredient used in shampoos, conditioners and soap. view more (2009-03-30)
'High efficiency' vacuum cleaners no better at protecting against dust mites
Researchers at the North West Lung Centre, run by The University of Manchester and based at Wythenshawe Hospital, have discovered that vacuum cleaners with 'high-efficiency particulate air' or HEPA filters are no more effective than standard models at reducing exposure to dust-mites. view more (2006-02-14)
Researchers demonstrate potential mechanism of food allergy
Researchers have identified one of the proteins that may be responsible for causing food allergies, which could lead to the development of more accurate non-invasive tests to identify true food allergies. view more (2006-07-24)
Dental Material Amalgam Is Not Guilty Of Disturbances
A careful study by a group of investigators of the University of Giessen suggests that there is no indication for mercury intoxication or amalgam allergy as a cause of somatic complaints. To deepen the understanding of the numerous unspecific complaints which are related to the dental material amalgam both in patients and physicians, an... view more... (2002-08-05)
Anthroposophic lifestyle reduces risk of allergic disease in children
Certain features of the anthroposophic lifestyle, such as restrictive use of antibiotics and fever antipyretics, reduce the risk of allergic disease in children, according to a new study. view more (2006-01-11)
Safety checks for GM foods must be better, says Royal Society
Safety assessments should be improved before a greater variety of foods made from genetically modified plants are declared fit for human consumption, a Royal Society report warns today (4 February 2002). The report concludes that there is no reason to doubt the safety of foods made from GM ingredients that are currently available, nor to believe... view more... (2002-02-04)
Fungal pill could provide asthma relief for 150,000 UK sufferers
Up to 150,000 people suffering from severe asthma in the UK could benefit from taking antifungal medication already available from pharmacists, new research has found. view more (2008-12-29)
First-born babies' higher asthma and allergy rates due to pregnancy conditions
First-born children are at higher risk of developing asthma and allergy because of different conditions they experience in the uterus, according to new research from the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom, which will be presented at the American Thoracic Society's 2008 International Conference in Toronto on Wednesday, May 21. view more (2008-05-20)
Exposure To Bacteria Modulates Immune Response And Decreases Allergy In Farm Children (p 465)
Findings from a Research Letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide support for the idea that children who grow up on farms have fewer allergies because they are exposed to more microbes than other children. Farmers' children are known to be less prone to allergies than children who do not grow up on farms, but the exact reason is not... view more... (2002-08-07)
