ISSN Series: | Arts & Traditions Table: Perspectives on Culinary History | Discipline: | Dis of Immuno | Subject Definition: | Food Hypersensitivity-History | NLM Class: | WD 300 | LC Class: | RC596 | Abstract: | To some, food allergies seem like fabricated cries for attention. To others, they pose a dangerous health threat. Food allergies are bound up with so many personal and ideological concerns that it is difficult to determine what is medical and what is myth. "Another Person's Poison" parses the political, economic, cultural, and genuine health factors of a phenomenon that dominates our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves. For most of the twentieth century, food allergies were considered a fad or junk science. While many physicians and clinicians argued that certain foods could cause a range of chronic problems, from asthma and eczema to migraines and hyperactivity, others believed that allergies were psychosomatic. |
