Allergies are an epidemic--but they don't have to be. Every day,
more than five hundred people in the US go to the emergency room
following a bad allergic reaction to food; 1 in 10 people have food
allergies--and they are acute, alarming, and can be
life-threatening. These are just a few of the statistics that prove
what most of us know anecdotally: food allergies are on the rise.
But allergy itself is just the tip of the iceberg--and it's not
just a problem for kids: there is a whole spectrum of food-related
conditions, including sensitivities, intolerances, and challenges.
1 in 5 people have food intolerances or sensitivities, and while
these can be debilitating, they are chronic and can also be
life-threatening in the long-term. Additionally, there are several
autoimmune disorders that can masquerade as allergic disease. This
means a lot of confusion, potential misdiagnoses, and incorrect or
poor care. But there is good news: Dr. Ruchi Gupta is on the front
lines of this epidemic; in her first book, she shares revolutionary
research from her lab to address the entire spectrum of
food-related health conditions. This panoramic view of food
challenges empowers readers, arming them with the info to ask the
right questions and get a proper diagnosis. From debunking common
myths (an allergy and an intolerance aren't the same thing--and
both can have life-threatening effects) to understanding
masqueraders, to learning about triggers (including environmental
factors), Dr. Gupta tells you all you need to know. Using a
framework of identify, empower, manage, prevent, and treat, Food
Without Fear offers hope and help to the millions of people who are
affected. Food doesn't have to be an enemy.
