Allergies Loss: Allergy Rise and Cent

allergies loss: Researcher Hind Sbihi said roughly 30 per cent of non-immigrants have non-food allergies, according to CBC. Loss of business could force McDonald's to reconsider nut decision, food security expert says Allergies are conditions that arise because of your genetic predisposition, but the spike in allergy rise cannot be explained by genetic mutation only, Sbihi told On The Coast host Stephen Quinn. A study from the University of British Columbia found 14 per cent of immigrants living in Canada for less than 10 years suffered from non-food allergies like hayfever, but after 10 years, that rate increased to almost 24 per cent. Sbihi said there is a phenomenon known as the healthy immigrant effect wherein immigrants report having better health than those who were born in Canada. Sbihi's work was looking at whether this effect also applied to non-food allergies. However, the health of immigrants tend to decline as their years in Canada increase. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
