Statistic Sunday

Good Afternoon Everyone. How is everyone this beautiful Sunday? I could not have asked for a more lovely day. We tried to go sailing, but it was a little to windy today. That's okay though, we got some much needed things done.

Well in my list I had originally listed Sunday as Sample Sunday...but I have changed it to Statistic Sunday. This blog will include statistics involving food from the U.S. I hope that everyone finds it very useful as well as entertaining.

I will start off this week with Food Allergies:


As many as 15 million people have food allergies.
An estimated 9 million, or 4%, of adults have food allergies. 
Nearly 6 million or 8% of children have food allergies with young children affected most.
Boys appear to develop food allergies more than girls.
Food allergies may be a trigger for or associated with other allergic conditions, such as atopic dermatitis and eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases.
Although childhood allergies to milk, egg, wheat and soy generally resolve in childhood, they appear to be resolving more slowly than in previous decades, with many children still allergic beyond age 5 years. Allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, fish, or shellfish are generally lifelong allergies.

That is all for today...Enjoy the rest of your Sunday...
