Question 1

why can my son ea foods hes allergic to only if its prcessed but not natural?

Accepted Answer

Food processing: When foods are processed, oftentime by heating, the proteins are frequently altered and rendered less allergenic. Such is the case in the oral allergy syndrome where various fresh fruits that when eaten raw cause oropharyngeal pruritus and/or swelling, if cooked  or processed they are well tolerated without causing symptoms.

Question 2

Many: Many, many foods give you natural energy.  You can look up top ten superfoods such as salmon, blueberries, walnuts, and others.  The key to energy is to get a wide variety of real whole plants each with various rich colors that grow naturally.  A food like supplement cannot replace whole foods.

Question 6

are natural flavors found in food or drinks bad for you? i heard of strange things be used as natural flavors.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: To get the most from this site you need to be more specific about your concern. Natural additives like strawberry flavoring is only a problem if you are allergic to strawberries. If you are worried about a specific synthetic additive, describe it so the issue can be addressed. Broad questions about some bogey man flavoring don't can't be answered.
