Abstract

Sulfites are commonly used preservatives and additives in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Many people develop adverse reactions to them which may vary from mild skin rash to life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. However, asthma exacerbation is the most commonly linked problem. The possibility of sulfite sensitivity should be considered when individuals demonstrate asthma symptoms following the consumption of sulfite-containing foods (such as dried fruits and wines in adults and packaged food in children such as biscuits, chips, and packaged drinks) or adverse skin reactions following the use of cosmetics or medicated creams. In fact, many of the mild-to-moderate asthma cases in children can be cured by just avoiding the packaged/preserved/processed food and beverages. Food that has no additives at all is to be preferred particularly if it is to be consumed by children. It is best to eat a preservative-free diet if at all possible by adults as well if required natural food preservatives should be used.
哮喘成人和儿童的食物和饮料中的亚硫酸盐:我们需要知道的
亚硫酸盐是食品和制药工业中常用的防腐剂和添加剂。许多人对它们产生不良反应,从轻微的皮疹到危及生命的过敏反应。然而,哮喘恶化是最常见的相关问题。当个体在食用含亚硫酸盐的食物(如成人食用干果和葡萄酒,儿童食用饼干、薯片和包装饮料等包装食品)或在使用化妆品或药膏后出现皮肤不良反应后出现哮喘症状时,应考虑亚硫酸盐敏感性的可能性。事实上,许多轻度至中度儿童哮喘病例可以通过避免包装/腌制/加工食品和饮料来治愈。不含任何添加剂的食物是最好的特别是儿童食用的食物。如果可能的话,成年人最好吃无防腐剂的食物,如果需要的话,也应该使用天然食品防腐剂。
