What is allergy?
an untoward reaction produced by immune mechanisms that primarily exist for protection
What is our immune system and what is its function?
a system that consists of cells, proteins and molecules in our body that function to prevent, control and combat infection and uncontrolled proliferation of mutant or altered self cells

It must function to "protect" w/o causing harm and must distinguish "self" from "nonself adn harmful" and from "nonself and not harmful"
What is an adverse reaction to food?
any reaction to a food that is unexpected whether mediated by the immune system or not
What is a food allergy?
an abnormal response of the mucosal immune system to antigens deliverd through the oral route
What is the prevelance of food allergies?
