However, the actual part of the food we can potentially be allergic to is the proteins and their pollens. Not all foods have those, or at least not in high concentrations. Can you be allergic to apples? Yes, but since they contain so little protein content, even if you are allergic, it’s unlikely you will have noticeable side […]

[toc]When you’re paying up for a supplement, you expect there to be clinical studies or at least in vitro (lab) research to support its price tag.
