Allergy Facts
A U.S. study surveyed the parents of 520 newborn babies, asking them whether their child had food allergies. Just under 30% said they believed their children to have such allergies. Contrary to their belief, only 6% of these children reacted to the suspected foods during a double-blind, placebo-controlled oral food challenge.
