Allergies are an exploding phenomenon: the incidence of food allergy alone has tripled in five years and today affects 1.3 million Canadians. Now some good news for the millions coping with allergies - a new national magazine, Allergic Living, launches today.

In its debut issue, Allergic Living features articles on:

• the quest for a peanut vaccine;
• dating and allergic teens;
• spring allergies;
• the mystery of sulphite reactions; and
• the lobby for a unique law to protect anaphylactic students in Ontario.

The magazine also offers exceptional Natural Beauty and Food sections.

"The goal of Allergic Living is to help people control allergies, to make lives as full as possible despite these conditions," says Gwen Smith, the publication's editor and the former editor of Elm Street magazine.

A well-written and beautifully designed lifestyle magazine, Allergic Living, covers the spectrum of allergies from food and pollen triggers to asthma and chemical sensitivities.

Allergic Living also recently launched a website, www.allergicliving.com, where its forum has proved an instant hit.

AGW Publishing Inc. publishes the magazine, which is available by subscription and at Chapter's outlets.
