A new study has revealed that half of U.S adults who think they have a food allergy actually don’t. Instead, they have a food intolerance. So, what’s the difference?
According to Science Alert, a new study has found that many people mix up whether they have a food allergy or an intolerance to certain foods. The study was published on January 4 in the journal JAMA Network Open and showed that of the people polled, many mixed up whether they had a food allergy or a food intolerance. Of those polled, 50 percent of those who thought they had a food allergy actually didn’t. Instead, they had an intolerance to a certain food or foods.
But, does it really matter what it is called? Is a food allergy the same as a food intolerance?
