Since a high-fiber diet is usually lower in fat, it may be another reason why cancer risk seems to go down among people who eat more fiber. The reason that soluble fibers help lower blood sugar levels isn't fully understood. Perhaps it's because fiber slows the time for emptying the stomach. As a result, glucose absorption may slow down. Some scientists say that people benefit from eating fiber because it replaces fattier foods in the diet, not because of anything special about fiber itself.
Many children do outgrow their food allergies.
However, allergies to peanuts and tree nuts are seldom outgrown. Reintroducing small amounts of offending food is not recommended because this may actually prolong a food allergy. Your doctor will decide, based on your child's allergy test results, when allergenic foods should be re-introduced, if ever. Any food to which your child has had a confirmed allergic reaction should only be given in a doctor's office where immediate medical attention is available. Between 5 and 20 percent will die from medical complications as a result.
