[Sca-cooks] Article: Feasting with Food Allergies

[Druighad at aol.com]

Also, be aware that people have very different allergies. My nephew is highly
allegic to red food dye. ALL red food dye. He can't even eat red fruits and
veggies. The reaction is hyper activity followed by extreme blood sugar loss.
But he's not diabetic. Take a five year old, completely overdose them on
sugar, and let them run around for 24 hours. See how cranky they get when
they run out of energy? That's the kind of thing that happens. But reverse
metabolism is part and parcel of it. Coffee calms him down.

Just be aware that people may need to know what food dyes are in the feast
dishes as well. You might be suprised what people are allergic to.
