Great, more crossing-breeding with untested species we aren't used to ingesting. I wonder what weird and wonderful food allergies we'll be able to enjoy now?

  Is there any evidence that this has created food allergies?

    Gluten sensitivity comes to mind: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3573730/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3573730/ The study finds that gluten consumption hasn't increased over the past few decades and that a culprit is more likely "wheat genetics" Anecdotally, I don't know if you know many genuinely GF people, but the ones I know have all said that they can eat bread while in European countries, but have bad reactions back home.

      There are two types of industrialized wheat. Dwarf and semi-dwarf. Compared to ancient wheats like eikorn we're probably now realizing how bad these are impacting health. Diabetes, celiac, etc. There are, at least, studies focusing on it now [0]. [0] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5397290/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5397290/
