What are Allergies?
Introduction
If you have food allergies, this topic hardly needs an introduction. You know all too well what they are, what they can do to you, and the importance of avoiding the things that you are allergic to. Did you know, however, that food allergies affect approximately 2.5 million Canadians?1 You are definitely not alone.
