Answer to Question 1

A
In a true food allergy, the immune system reacts to a substance in food as if it needed to protect the body from a foreign substance. Food allergies may cause reactions in the digestive or respi-ratory systems, but these are secondary effects, not primary responses. The cardiovascular system is not usually involved in food allergy.
