Common meat-free proteins may trigger soybean and peanut allergies in some people - Science & research news | Frontiers,by Angharad Brewer Gillham, Frontiers science writer Meat-free proteins based on legumes are increasingly common. But so are allergies to soy and peanuts, which are also legumes. To find out if it’s safe for patients with these allergies to eat legume-based alternative proteins, scientists investigated how frequent cross-reactions are among people with different legume allergies.
