Food Allergies Increasing Among Children

How common are food allergies in U.S. children? 

According to new data published by the National Center for Health Statistics division of the Center for Disease Control (CDC),

1 out of every 25 children has a food allergy in the U.S., representing about a 20% increase between 1997 to 2007.

The study also showed that hospitalizations of children due to food allergy reactions in the U.S. have significantly increased since 1998, with an average of 9,537 hospitalizations a year. 

The CDC study also found that children with a food allergy are more likely to have asthma or other allergic conditions.

I always thought there was a link between my children's food allergies and their asthma. My mother's instinct is proven.

This is very disturbing data but there is hope.
