- Food Intolerance: Plain and Simple …Or am I just too sensitive?
- Allergy is rare.
- Intolerence is common.
- Allergy is a biochemical process by your body system, it
occurs when the immune system responds defensively to a specific
food protein that is not harmful to the body.
Most have heard of Peanut allergy and have read about the
consequences.
- Intolerance is a biochemical overload
by your body system, a food-induced reaction that does not
involve the immune system.
Such as Lactose or house dust intolerance, but
you never read of anyone dying from drinking cow’s milk
or inhaling dust from their carpet!
- Intolerance is often caused by too much of the same foods
and the body’s own inability to eliminate the build up
of toxins created by those same foods. In a word the body becomes
too sensitive!
- If you can reduce the sensitivity...
you will be less intolerant.

According to Bruce Ames, a highly respected
and acknowledged expert on nutrition and his group
believe that micronutrient deficiencies drive obesity.
This is
because energy rich but nutrient poor diets will create a state
that drives us to eat more to obtain adequate nutrients. In
other words, the overweight and obese are constantly hungry because
they are deficient in key nutrients.
