FOOD ALLERGIES IN CHILDREN
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the number of children with a food or digestive allergy increased 18 percent between 1997 and 2007. In 2007, approximately 3 million U.S. children and teenagers under age 18, or 4 percent of that age group, were reported to have a food or digestive allergy in the previous 12 months, compared to just over 2.3 million, or 3.3 percent, in 1997.

The report also found that eight types of food account for 90 percent of all food allergies: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy and wheat. Children with food allergies are two to four times more likely to have other related conditions such as asthma and other allergies, compared to children without food allergies. Clearly, this is an issue that affects children in your life, whether they belong to you or not.
