Why might you develop a food allergy?
An increasing number of allergic reaction patients in hospitals are due to food allergies – why might this be happening?

Adam Fox
I think we can be very confident, if you look back over, say, 30 or 40 years that there are much more allergic problems around now than there were. So for example, very robust studies that look at the prevalence of things like eczema and food allergy do show really significant increases. Over the course of around five years, there was over a 300% increase in the amount of visits for severe allergic reactions.

So how significant was the increase in the number of children who visited hospital with food allergies?
Tom
He said over 300% - that’s incredible. Who’d have thought it had increased so much!
James
I know! But did you hear what he said?
Adam Fox
If you look back over the past 30 or 40 years that there are much more allergic problems than there were.
Tom
Oh yeh James! He used the zero conditional – that’s when you use ‘if’ with two present tense clauses.
James
That’s right Tom – we often use it when we’re talking about things that are always true, like scientific facts. For example, ‘If you eat healthy food, you don’t get fat’.

Adam Fox
If you look, dig a little bit deeper into the numbers, it’s quite specifically an increase in younger children having food allergies.

Tom
He said ‘If you dig’, and ‘It is’ – ‘dig’ and ‘is’ are both present tense verbs.
James
So, if allergies are becoming more common, what is the cause then?
Adam Fox
We now understand that there is a key role for eczema. So, there’s a pretty direct relationship between whether you’ve got eczema during infancy and your likelihood of getting a food allergy.

James
Let’s listen to some of what Dr. Fox said again.
Adam Fox
So, there’s a pretty direct relationship between whether you’ve got eczema during infancy.
James
Some of the doctor’s pronunciation sounded really strange! He said ‘ginfancy’, not ‘infancy’. Did he make a mistake?
Tom
No! ‘During’ ends with a /g/ sound. ‘Infancy’ begins with a vowel sound. Sometimes, in connected speech, the two sounds join together. So we get ‘during infancy’.
James
Let’s practice some of this pronunciation. Repeat after me.
‘an’
‘allergy’
‘an allergy’

Language features
Allergy
an allergy is a medical condition when your body detects certain products or chemicals as being harmful to you, and a ‘reaction’ occurs. The reaction can vary, but common symptoms are swelling, itchiness or irritation, and nausea.
To watch what you eat
This is an expression meaning that you take great care in what foods you consume. This could because you have an allergy to the food, or because you are on a diet.
Eczema
Eczema is a skin condition that makes your skin itchy and peel.
Genetics
Genetics is related to the traits that you inherit from your parents or ancestors. For example, some physical traits (blue eyes/red hair etc.) are genetic, and are passed down from parent to child.
Why might you develop a food allergy?

Session Grammar
The Zero Conditional
The zero conditional is formed by two clauses, an ‘if’ clause, and a result clause. In the zero conditional, both the ‘if’ and result clause are present tenses. For example:
- ‘If you burn paper, it produces smoke.’
Both ‘burn’ and ‘produces’ are the present simple.
It is also possible to use the present continuous tense. For example,
- ‘If I am visiting my grandma, I make her dinner.’
We use the zero conditional to talk about things that always (or almost always) happen. For example, when we talk about scientific processes or things that we do regularly in day-to-day life.
