Allergy Insight updates

04/10/2018 //  by Michelle Berridale Johnson//  Leave a Comment

While I have been effectively ‘off air’ there has been an interesting flow of posts from Alex on his Allergy Insight blog. So for those of you who may have missed them:

19th September  – Allergens – easy to ask covering the FSA, Allergy UK and Anaphylaxis Campaign’s new campaign. They want to encourage and support young people with food allergies/sensitivities to ask food service providers about the allergens in the food that they serve. This comes off the back of research carried out  by the charities into young people’s attitudes to their food allergies and to risk-taking around food, some of which makes scary reading.

3rd October – Gluten free/vegan panettone. For those on gf/mf diets who, like me, have a secret passion for Panetonne, this is a very good news blog post! A choice of six manufacturers!!!

September 18th – Barleycup (the caffeine free coffee alternative that has been around since the dawn of time) is no longer gluten free.

A food fad won’t kill you – an allergy will

There has been a predictable outcry in the allergy world this week’s in response to Rachel Johnson’s piece in Thursday’s Evening Standard on ‘dietary requirements’ and food fads. Being charitable, I am assuming that she has never suffered from or lived with someone with a food allergy. However, I do have some sympathy with her …

Bioplastics – a solution or part of the problem?

Everyday Plastic is a social enterprise group using accessible learning and publicity campaigns to reduce the amount of plastics used daily in our society. It was founded by its current director Daniel Webb who, having moved to Margate in Kent in 2016, was horrified to discover that there were no plastic recycling options on offer.  …

FreeFrom Christmas Awards – the Winners

Since they were launched two years ago the FreeFrom Christmas Awards have been a great success. And how lucky are ‘freefrom-ers’ these days!  From Advent calendars to gifts, party food to Christmas dinner, there is no longer any need for them to miss out. Indeed, the whole family can happily eat freefrom and never know …

Do not extradite Julian Assange to the US

Julian Assange is being sought by the current US administration for publishing US government documents which exposed war crimes and human rights abuses. The politically motivated charges represent an unprecedented attack on press freedom and the public’s right to know – seeking to criminalise basic journalistic activity. Assange is facing a 175-year sentence for publishing …

What to believe – applying critical thought

For the average citizen evaluating the claims made for cure all – or even improve all – health products and procedures has always been difficult. Not only is it an area in which we have minimal expertise but most of us have a vested interest in finding a miracle intervention that will solve our health …

Could wireless monitoring devices be killing racehorses?

Regular readers may remember that back in August last year I alerted you to a posting on Arthur Firstenberg’s Cellphone Task Force site about phone masts and bird flu. Could there be a connection between the fact that the two wildlife sites in Holland and Northern France which had suffered catastrophic bird flu deaths were …
