This disease has been known since ancient times, but it peaked in the second half of the 20th century. Today, the problem is just as prevalent.

What foods cause allergies most often?
Most often, children suffer from hypersensitivity, most of whom develop clinical tolerance over time.

The prevalence of the disease, according to domestic and foreign experts, is 5-7{f918c8c230b22f000277847ce26df3ea9ac4bbcabd1c40ab7d79f6a33bb50390} in children and 3-6{f918c8c230b22f000277847ce26df3ea9ac4bbcabd1c40ab7d79f6a33bb50390} in adults.
It is important to understand that food allergies and food intolerance are two completely different concepts. The main difference is the lack of a dose-dependent effect. In the first case, even a small amount of protein can cause a reaction from the immune system.
