Why Food Allergies Are On The Rise + 5 Ways To Prevent Them

As an integrative clinician, I have noticed a steady increase in patients with food allergies over the years. Nationwide data backs me up: Approximately 32 million Americans currently have food allergies, and over 200,000 of them require medical care for food reactions each year. That includes around 13 million children1. Almost 11% of adults in the U.S.2 are suffering from food allergies—a figure that is doubling every decade.
