Roger Taylor, research director from Dr Foster the independent provider of health care information which carried out the research for Norwich Union Healthcare, said information in magazines can often be misleading.
"People should think first about whether they have a properly balanced diet and if they are concerned about allergies or food intolerances seek the advice of a dietician or their GP."
