chile peppers and curry are one of the unhealthiest things you can eat - spices and chile are extremely high in salicylates and can have an ototoxic effect.
ReplyDeleteRecent understanding of child health and allergies is increasingly recognizing the need for children to have a diet low in salicylates as children are hypersensitive to salicylates.
Salicylates have been linked to the development of all sorts of problems in children such as: abdominal pain, aching legs, asthma, bed wetting, ear Infections, fatigue, persistent cough, physical sluggishness, rhinitis, sinusitis, sleep disorders, skin problems, stomach irritation, accident proneness, Attention deficit Disorder, ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, Autism, anxiety or agitation for no reason, bouts of excessive energy followed by fatigue, confused thinking, depression, distraction, dyslexia, erratic sleep pattern, excessive or constant talking (hyperlexia), hyperactivity, impatience, lack of concentration, memory problems, mental sluggishness, self-isolating behaviour, mood swings, nervousness, sudden bouts of paranoia, poor self image, sudden highs, temper flare ups.
Since I put my son on a low-salicylate (and gluten-free, dairy-free) diet three years ago he has improved massively and no longer has any of the above problems. Schools in the UK are now advising that all parents put their children on a low-salicylate diet as they have seen the massive improvements in children who have a low-salicylate diet.
oh yummy 0 can I just sneak over to your house the next time you make this - do you think anyone will notice??
