It seems the scientists at the University of Chicago Medicine have discovered a link between modern hygiene and food allergies! It seems that modern hygiene, diet and antibiotics along with anti-microbial agents disturb the bodies bacterial balance. Some of these bacteria that reside in our gut can prevent or insulate us from food allergy incidents. Tests done in mice are very positive, if this proves to be the case, it's a possibility that a simple reintroduction of this bacteria into our gut can give us tremendous relief regarding food allergies.
