News in Science - Lupin may be the next food allergen - :
"Lupin, a legume closely related to peanuts, could be an emerging food allergen in Australia, say clinical immunology and allergy experts.
Dr William Smith and team from the Royal Adelaide Hospital make their case in this week's issue of the Medical Journal of Australia."
Maybe I won't eat those lupins. The RAH has been looking at the allergic reations presented by people eating food with lupins in it. The reactions were quite severe and breathing difficulties were common. Like the sort of reactions people get to shell fish, peanuts, milk, eggs and fish. I think we need to sort this out before we start eating it and let the cattle munch away on the stuff.
