Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual

becomes sensitive to a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the

average person Milk, wheat, and egg, for example, rank among the most

healthful and widely used foods Yet these foods can cause persons sensitive to

them to suffer greatly At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by

coming into contact with the substance After a varying interval of time, usually

longer than a few weeks, the body becomes sensitive to it, and an allergy has

begun to develop Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food allergy,

since it can show up so many different ways Your symptoms could be caused

by many other problems You may have rashes, hives, joint pains mimicking

arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression The most common food allergies

are to milk, eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes

Many of these allergies will not develop if these foods are not fed to an infant

until her or his intestines mature at around seven months Breast milk also tends

to be protective Migraines can be set off by foods containing tyramine,

phenathylamine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate Common foods

which contain these are chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled

herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas, cured meats, many Oriental and

prepared foods (read the labels!) Some people have been successful in treating

their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins, particularly B6 and niacin

Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives,

especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets A few of

these are almonds, green peppers, peaches, tea, grapes This is the diet made

popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the book Why your Child is

Situated in the central mountains of Alaska, a peak named Denali rises 20,320

Denali National Park One of America's greatest wilderness areas, the park has

visitors in 1950 to over 546,000 visitors in 1990 The increasing popularity of

this park is prompting serious discussions about the future use of Denali as well

as how to preserve wilderness areas in general One important issue of land use

arises when parts of National Parks are owned by individuals In Denali, though

most of the land in this vast tract of more than a million acres is owned by the

National Park Service, several thousand acres are still privately owned as mining

tracts These mining tracts in Denali were once abundant sources of gold, but

they were sources of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead that pollute drivers

and streams Environmentalists were successful in getting the government to

require mining companies to submit statements showing the potential impact of

a mining project before they are allowed to begin mining Because of this

requirement, many individuals closed their mines and some sold their land to the

National Park Service Some land owners, however, are wondering if it is better

to sell their land to the government or keep it for possible future use Tourism in

this previously remote area is bound to rise, as more roads are built to provide

easier access to the park This increase in the number of visitors creates a

demand for hotels and other real estate development The economic implications

of this are of interest to the land owners, but are dismaying to those interested in

preserving the wilderness
