| ARTICLES RELATED TO Food allergy | | | |  Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Allergy - Basis of increasing prevalenceThere has been a notable increase in the commonness of allergies in the past decades, and there are multiple hypotheses explaining this phenomenon. This is in part because we know what they are, in contrast to earlier humans who would think that it is a non-important illness.
Allergy - The hygiene hypothesis.
One theory that has been gaining strength is the "hygiene hypothesis". This theory maintains that since children in more affluent countries are leading a cleaner and cleaner life (less exposure to dir ...

| | | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Latex allergy - Types Type 1, the most serious and rare form, is an immediate and life-threatening reaction, not unlike the severe reaction some people have to bee stings. Such reactions account for a significant proportion of perioperative anaphylactic reaction, especially in children with myelomeningocle.
Type IV is the common type; involving delayed minor rashes, itching, and sometimes cracking of the skin.
Irritant Contact Dermatitis is caused by the chemicals used in the production process, and the talc-like powder coat ...

| | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Domesticated hedgehog - Food Hedgehogs are insectivores and require a diet that is high in protein. Some believe that a high fat diet is also healthy for hedgehogs, but is not present in an insect-based diet.
In the wild, a hedgehog is opportunistic and will eat anything that it finds. Sweet or fatty foods are very attractive to them, especially dairy products. Being lactose intolerant, eating dairy products will make them sick.
Cat food is often suggested for hedgehogs. Cat food is normally high in fat and iron. Some believe that there is a relation betwe ...

| | | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Domesticated hedgehog - Allergies Many people who claim to be allergic to cats and dogs are actually allergic to the dander produced by them. Hedgehogs do not produce dander. It is possible to be allergic to items surrounding the hedgehog, such as the hedgehog's food or bedding, but it is rare that a person would be allergic to the hedgehog itself.
After handling hedgehogs, some have claimed that pink dots on their hands is an allergic reaction. This is more likely caused by small pricks from the hedgehog's quills. If a hedgehog is not clean, the pricks can become infected. The infection is from contaminants on the hedge ...

| | | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Domesticated hedgehog - Enclosures In the wild, a hedgehog will cover many miles each night. Keeping this in mind, a hedgehog requires as much room as possible. Without room, a hedgehog will show signs of depression, such as excessive sleeping, refusal to eat, repetitious behaviour, and self mutilation.
24"x24" pet cages are common for pet hedgehogs. Multi-level ferret or rabbit cages allow a hedgehog more room to explore without taking up extra floorspace. When using multiple levels, keep in mind that a hedge ...

| | | | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Soy protein - History Soy protein {90%protein (N x 6.25) on a moisture-free basis} has been available since 1935 for its functional properties. In 1935, African-American chemist, Percy Julian, designed and supervised construction, at the Soy Products Division, Glidden Paint Company, Chicago,Illinois, of the world's first plant for the "isolation" of industrial-grade soy protein. The largest use of industrial grade protein was and still is for paper coatings,in which it serves as a pigment binder. However, Dr. Julian's plant must have also been the source, of the ...

| | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Soy protein - Production methods Edible soy protein "isolate" is derived from defatted soy flour with a high solubility in water(high NSI). The aqueous extraction is carried out at a pH below 9. The extract is clarified to remove the insoluble material and the "supernatant" is acidified to a pH range of 4-5. The precipitated protein-curd is collected and separated from the whey by centrifugation. The curd is usually neutralized with alkal ...

| | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Soy protein - Product types
Soy protein - Isolates.
Soy protein isolate is the most refined form of soy protein and also has the highest soy protein content (90%). It is made from defatted soy meal which has had most of the fats and carbohydrates removed. Because of this, it has a neutral flavor and will cause less gas due to bacterial flatulence.
Soy isolates are mainly used to improve the texture and eating quality of meat products, but it is also used for other nutritional (increasing protein content), sensorial (better mouthfeel, ...

A soy protein health claim is allowed in the United States if a serving of the food meets the following conditions:
More than 6.25 grams of soy protein
Usually less than 3 grams of fat
Less than 1 gram of saturated fat
Less than 20 milligrams of cholesterol
Less than 480 milligrams of sodium
There are conflicting studies concerning the phytoestrogens contained in soy protein that bind to estrogen receptors in the body and their effect o ...

Soy protein - Textured Soy Protein.
For more details on this topic, see textured soy protein.
TSP is made by forming a dough of defatted soy flour with water in a screw type extruder such as the Wenger and heating with or without added steam. The dough is extruded through a die into various possible shapes; granules, chunks, goulash, steakettes (schnitzle), etc., and dried in an oven. TSP made from soy flour contains 50% soy protein and needs to be rehydrated, before use, at a weight ra ...

| | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Peanut - Allergies Although many people enjoy foods made with peanuts, some people have severe allergic reactions to peanuts. For people with peanut allergy, exposure can cause fatal anaphylactic shock. For these individuals, eating a single peanut or just breathing the dust from peanuts can cause a fatal reaction. An allergic reaction also can be triggered by eating foods that have been processed with machines that have previously processed peanuts, m ...

| | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Nut fruit - Culinary definition and uses A nut in cuisine is a much less restrictive category than a nut in botany, the term being applied (or misapplied, depending upon the viewpoint) to many seeds that are not true nuts. Any large, oily kernel found within a shell and used in food may be regarded as a nut. Because nuts generally have a high oil content, they are a highly prized food and energy source. A large number of seeds are edible by humans and used in cooking, eaten raw, sprouted, or roasted as a snack food, or pressed for oil that is used in cookery and cosmetics. B ...

| | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - QK-77 - Use QK-77 has a large grain similar to that of durum wheat, and requires several hours of simmering to soften. It is an ideal ingredient for use with slow cookers. Kamut-based products include Kamut drink, bread, breakfast cereals and cracked wheat. They are usually marketed through health-food shops.
There is anecdotal evidence that some people who have wheat allergy, and thus avoid wheat, are able to eat Kamut[4]. However, as a wheat species, it is definitely unsuitable fo ...

| | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Mouth ulcer - Causes The exact cause of mouth ulcers is unknown, but factors that appear to provoke them include stress, fatigue, illness, injury from accidental biting, hormonal changes, menstruation, food allergies and deficiencies in vitamin B12, iron and folic acid.
In 1982 a previously unknown bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, was discovered to be the cause of stomach ulcers. It is hypothesized that bacteria are at work in mouth ulcers, though the specific organism has not been isolated.
Dental braces can be a cause of mouth ulcers because the wires and hooks could break the mucous membrane inside the mouth. Dental wax ...

Dog health - Dangerous foods.
Some foods commonly enjoyed by humans are dangerous to dogs:
Dogs love the flavor of chocolate, but chocolate in sufficient doses is lethally toxic to dogs (and horses and possibly cats). Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical stimulant that, together with caffeine and theophylline, belongs to the group of methylxanthine alkaloids. Dogs are unable to metabolize theobromine effectively. If they eat chocolate, the theobromine can remain in their bloodstreams for up to ...

| | | | | Food allergy: Encyclopedia II - Dog health - Feeding habits and obesity Feeding table scraps to a dog is generally not recommended, at least in excess. Dogs get ample correct nutrition from prepared dogfood. Otherwise, just as in humans, their diet must consist of the appropriate mix of vegetables, carbohydrates, and proteins, with the appropriate mix to provide all of the minerals and vitamins that they need. A human diet is not ideal for a dog; in addition, the scraps often consist of fat rather than meat protein, which is no better for dogs than it is for humans. Lastly, many people overfeed their dogs by giving them all the table scraps that the dogs will eat—which is usually all the ...
