At the time of publication of most of these milestones, the existence of
food allergy was questioned by many in the medical community, including
most allergists. Despite how remarkable and significant these
achievements were for the field of allergy and immunology, it was not
until the end of the 20th century that food allergy as
a field began to overcome the reputation of being scientifically weak.
Over the past three or four decades, due to increasing prevalence,
improved epidemiologic studies and increased awareness of food allergy
given the risk for severe reactions including fatal anaphylaxis, the
study of food allergy is contributing to the understanding of the
mechanisms of sensitization and the origins of
atopy.187,188
In 1982, Dr. May reflected on the history of food allergy and commented:
The probability of encountering these obstacles in the future
through repetition of the errors of the past would be lessened by
curbing certain tendencies that interfere with learning from the lessons
of the past, for example: (1) lack of historical perspective, (2)
incompetence in weighing evidence, and (3) the faulty habit of adoption
of opinion by feeling rather than reasoning from
facts.189
