Nutrition in intolerances and allergies

In many occasions people confuse food allergy with intolerance, however, although they share similarities, as they cause harmful effects in the body due to the intake of certain foods, they are not the same.

Allergies are caused by an immune response to food, while immune system does not intervene in intolerances. The main causes of intolerance are usually due to alterations in the digestion and / or the metabolism of foodstuffs.
