title: Clinical reactions to food.
abstract: Sensational claims have been made about allergy to food and food additives, to the point where the predominant reaction in the medical profession has been one of scepticism. Nevertheless, some patients experience severe reactions caused by foods, for which they may find it difficult to obtain treatment through the National Health Service. This is a subject which needs to be reappraised.
