In response to the media hysteria over the 'millions who wrongly think they have food allergy', allergy writer and editor of the massive food allergy/intolerance website, http://www.foodsmatter.com Michelle Berriedale-Johnson, puts the case as it really is.

Once again, thanks to medical semantics, the newspapers need for a good story and the food industry's need to reassure consumers that their members' product is the healthiest thing they can buy, 'allergy' has been hijacked and the consumer thoroughly confused.

Michelle suggests that the term allergy has, yet again, been totally misused, that perfectly genuine medical concerns apply to the few, but not to the many and that wheat does make people ill - but only when it is massively over-consumed in a massively over-processed form.
