The 10 Most Common Food Intolerances

Salicylates

Salicylates are natural substances made by plants to defend disease and insects. They contain many anti-inflammatory elements that can help reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases. However, some people can be sensitive to salicylates and have adverse reactions, such as sinus infections, stuffy nose, sinus, and nasal polyps, diarrhea, asthma, hives, and gut inflammation. You can prevent this intolerance by avoiding some foods like honey, nuts, spices, coffee, teas, veggies, and fruits. [7]
