NUTS & ALLERGIES

This is an excerpt from the paper...

This is a proposal for paper discussing nuts and their linkage to specific allergic reactions. Using only scientific and medical journals this paper will identify specific nuts (peanuts, tree nuts and soybeans) their link to food allergies (proteins) and the types of allergic reactions that may be expected (anaphylaxis).

This paper will show how this allergy is acquired, how it is diagnosed and treated and how it may be prevented. In addition, this paper will analyze the high incidence of this particular allergy in the pediatric population and what probable social factors may be contributing to this.

This paper will also note how food companies are making information available for the prevention of food allergic reactions through exposure to foods containing offensive allergens, by allowing for their avoidance. We will also note the effectiveness of these methods and whether or not they are capable of accounting for all the possibilities of food allergen exposure. NUTS & ALLERGIES

PEANUTS While many people consider the peanut a nut, the peanut is actually a legume of the plant Arachis hypogaea. Other legumes include foods such as beans, peas and soybeans. Allergen symptoms created by the peanut can include varying degrees of hives, swelling of the throat, difficulty breathing and vomiting. Some sufferers may also experience severe and potentially fatal anaphylactic shock. Allergic reactions to peanuts and tree nuts occur on the first known exposure and may be life-threatening. ( ) SOYBEANS One of the most important agronomic characteristics of a soybean is that it can take nitrogen from the air and "fix" it to be used by the soybean plant. Soybean plants can be grouped into two main types, determinant and in determinant, both grown mostly in temperate climates. As for allergies, Soy allergy is uncommon among adults. Symptoms of soy allergy can range from more common, harmless skin reactions and gastrointestinal disturbances to less common facial edema (swelling), dyspnea (shortness of breath), dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and faintingùessentially an anaphylactic reaction.
