Show SUSC Lecture Will Explain Some Causes of Allergy CEDAR CITY A Brigliam young University researcher's efforts to counter the effects of phenyls or allergy-causing chemicals found In various foods will be presented April 27 at Southern Utah State College. Dr. Robert Gardner, a professor of animal science at BYU, will discuss "The Role of Plant and Animal Pnenyls in Food Allergy" at noon in Science building 121. He will visit Cedar City by invitation of the SUSC Ag Club. Ely Clark, assistant professor of life science, notes that Dr. Gardner's research came about in the course of studying dairy calf nutrition. "He discovered an adverse gastrointestinal reaction to soybean flour used in milk replacers," Clark said, "and continued research revealed numerous adverse reactions in both animals ' and man. Having suffered from allergic reactions most of his life, Dr. Gardner became intrigued with the adverse responses exhibited by his own body to common foods." From that beginning the guest lecturer discovered the chemical sources of those allergic reactions and developed a method of body conditioning to enable the body to cope wtih the food source. "As a consequence," Clark explained, "Dr. Gardner now has little problem with allergies, exhibits greater energy, has a greatly reduced heartbeat and generally better health." The guest lecturer has addressed audiences across the country, Clark said, including the American College of Allergists and the BYU-hostedSyposium on Immunotoxicity of Foodborne Phenolics and Airborne Pollutants. "Dr. Gardner's lecture will be of Interest to the medical community students and individuals interested in food allergies," Clark said. |
