> More likely that there are enough toxins unknowingly mixed into our food which trigger the responses

No, not more likely. Possible, but not evidenced, particularly for the allergies IgE causes.

There will never be this research. Meanwhile, complex disease states for which there is zero cure explode in incidence. Side behind "the science" all you want but it's just foolish coping IMO. There's way too much shit in our environment and in what we are exposed to and/or consume that we did not evolve to tolerate so it's no surprise our resilience is suffering and will continue to suffer in upcoming generations.

There is a massive profit and political incentive driving this research. It isn’t finding any signals as clear as the real doctors.

I trust you believe this.

> There's way too much shit in our environment

Sure. And it’s probably harmful. But it doesn’t cause everything.

Cigarettes cause cancer. Cigarettes are bad. That doesn’t mean the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was caused by cigarettes, and anyone saying that makes no sense is a tobacco shill.

> our resilience is suffering

Suffering resilience is a weird way to describe allergies.
