Obese children more likely to have food allergies
Posted on May 8th, 2009 No commentsThis is an interesting discovery. It’s interesting also that of all the people I know who have food allergies, none of them is of larger than average size.
Want to advertise with us? marc @ eatnutfree.comObese children and teens are 26 per cent more likely than kids of a normal weight to have some kind of allergy, especially a food allergy, U.S. researchers report.
But it is not yet clear if obesity actually causes allergies; only an “association” between obesity and allergies was found, said Dr. Darryl Zeldin, the senior author on the paper.
