Any food ingested is a foreign substance to the body, triggering immune
response.
In less hygienic countries, when parasites and such are eliminated, people
start having allergic reactions to things which didn't bother them before.
Also.. germs are everywhere. Much of the common bacteria we live with, may
fight off more virulent forms. Antibacterial soap kills all but a few which
multiply, leading to superbugs immune to antibiotics. Hospitals are infamous
breeding grounds for such.

Wrong. We evolved to use it as food.

Lie.

Irrelevant to his stupid claim about food allergys.
