New research has revealed that almost 30 million Americans are sensitive to some of the most common nutrient-rich foods, including chia seeds, cranberries and green tea, as the superfood movement continues.
Food sensitivity specialist YorkTest analyzed more than 12,000 of its food sensitivity test results, finding almost 10% of the population are sensitive to one of the top five most reactive superfoods.
Green tea has a 1.2% reaction rate which is smaller in comparison, but still means up to 3.7 million Americans could be suffering with every sip. Flaxseed or linseed is another popular additive to a range of fruity snacks, but one in 20 Americans could be sensitive – and according to Allergy Los Angeles, it's an emerging allergen.
“With the help of credible at-home food sensitivity tests, more and more people are becoming aware of the unique way that their body works. While there are lots of known food groups that could be more likely to cause a reaction, such as gluten or dairy, ultimately everyone is different and if you’ve been feeling a bit ‘off’, it could be the food you least expect that’s causing symptoms.
