9. Friendly bacteria in alcoholic milkshake could fight food allergies
   10-15-2006 · EurekAlert!

The drink inhibits the allergen specific antibody Immunoglobulin E (IgE) which can stimulate allergic responses, such as inflammation and constriction of airways. Kefir is easily digested, and ideal for weaning babies. This could be especially significant, as infants under the age of three are most susceptible to food allergies. Currently, there is no effective treatment availiable for food allergy.
