Publisher's Synopsis

Good food means good health. That is the common wisdom. But sometimes even good, fresh food can make a person sick. When fresh strawberries trigger an allergic reaction; when a glass of milk induces stomach cramps; when daily bread induces weight loss and fatigue; then it’s time to work with a health professional to determine whether an ordinary food may be causing your health problems.

The most common type of food-related illness by far is caused by food contaminated with infectious microbes. A bowl of cherries can harbor bacteria. A turkey burger can do the same. That’s why this Special Health Report,Food Allergy, Intolerance, and Sensitivity, provides information and advice about the wide range of food-related illnesses — from allergy to food poisoning — and how you can protect yourself and your family.
