Obese children more likely to have food allergies

Obese children and teens are 26 per cent more likely than kids of a normal weight to have some kind of allergy, especially a food allergy, U.S. researchers report.

But it is not yet clear if obesity actually causes allergies; only an "association" between obesity and allergies was found, said Dr. Darryl Zeldin, the senior author on the paper.

I was never obese, but when I started Calorie Restriction my allergies are 99.9% better. I'll only get minor symptoms if the pollen count is extremely high, and usually that is only for a day or two a year that I've noticed symptoms.

There are many thin people with allergies too,even healthy thin people, nowadays even pets are allergic to things, it's so pathetic...
