The Sunday Times newspaper has again produced a masterpiece of investigative journalism (Sunday 21st February 2010) highlighting the frightening number of nonsense allergy and food intolerance tests available in central London. It is amazing that there is no public watchdog to prevent these unvalidated and unscientific allergy tests from being promoted to unsuspecting members of the public by inadequately trained practitioners and nutritionalists. Well done to Gillian Passmore and the Sunday Times for again drawing attention to the issue of misleading unorthodox allergy testing.

Thank you for highlighting this continuing problem which in my experience of talking with people causes confusion and the unnecessary cutting out of foods thus leaving nutritional “gaps” in the diet.
