It was revealed recently that a change in living environment causes allergic disease. The inbalance of nutrition caused by an increase in the intake of anmal protein and fat as well as a decrease in the intake of carbohydrate raises the morbidity rate of allergy. This investigation was aimed at examining the diet without allergenic food. First of all, we conducted a questionnaire survey for 186 female college students regarding allergy to food, then selected some subjects to measure the total amount of IgE in their serum and searched for a variety of allergens. The following are the results: 1. 20% of the subjects were conscious of their allergic disease. 2. 57% of the subjects developed allergy in their junior high or high school days. 3. 80% of the subjects had one or more family members who also developed allergic disease. 4. 50% of the subjects who already had been cured of allergic disease healed spontaneously as they grew. 5. Among the subjects who had developed allergy before, some were still suffering from allergic disease at the time of this test. Twice as many of the subjects were still using the diet without allergenic foods even though they did not show any symptoms of allergic disease any more. 6. Egg and fish caused the most allergy among the allergenic foods. 7. The serum IgE levels proved that ticks, house dust and pollen were strong reactants as allergens. Allergens in food were estimated to be 30%.
