Someone is extremely unclear on the concept in “Study Acquits Peanuts in Allergic Reaction.” Consider:
A new study debunks the theory that peanut allergies are caused by an offending ingredient inherent in the nut. Instead, the research shows, the condition stems from a person’s abnormal immune response.
In other words, they’ve determined that peanut allergy is an allergy.
Well, duh.
At least they had the sense to provide a link to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network.
Interestingly, here’s another article on the same study that gets it right.
Hmmm… “April 1, 2003, Journal of Clinical Investigation”. Coincidence? Or just really, REALLY bad reporting?
