Food Allergies + Food Label

Food Allergies

Celiacs disease:
A person with celiacs disease waits an average 6 to 11 years before being correctly diagnosed.
Celiac was discovered in the first century (A.D)
Celiacs disease can lead to other diseases, such as infertility and some cancers.

Lactose intolerance:
Babies can have lactose intolerance as well as others.
Lactose intolerance is able to be cured.
75 percent of the world's population is most likely going to have lactose intolerance.

Allergy to found groups such as seafood, eggs and nuts:
The worst symptom is breathing difficulties or collapsing.
seafood and iodine allergies are unrelated.
Food allergies don't normally run in families.

If people don't make labels relevant for people who suffer from these allergies/diseases they could die, have serious problems, get very sick, or get even more diseases.

  • The food is "pushed" down the esophagus to the stomach by waves of muscle contractions. Circular muscles contract behind the bolus pushing it downwards. Longitudinal muscles contract, widening and the diameter and shortening the length of the tube. This process is called peristalsis.

Digestion:

Stomach:

The esophagus leads to the stomach.
The stomach can hold 2-4 litres of fluid.
It holds acid which digests food.
The stomach is a large elastic bag that can expand to hold many litres of food.
The PH of the acid is 1-2
The interior of the stomach is lined with holes called gastric pits.

Small Intestine: 

The small intestine lies between the stomach and the large intestine.
The PH is between 7-9.
Absorption of nutrients takes place in the small intestine.
The inner walls are covered in small, finger-like projections called villi.
The projections increase the surface area of the small intestine, which increases the rate of absorption.

Large Intestine:

Reabsorption of ions and water is a vital function of the large intestine.
The inner surfaces do not contain villi.


Liver:


The liver is the second largest organ in the human body.
A green coloured fluid called bile is produced in the liver.
Average mass of the human liver is about 1.5kg.
The liver detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs.
The liver makes proteins important for blood plasma and other functions.
