Advantages of this test: Cyrex says that this panel is “The New Standard in Food Immune Reactivity Testing.” While most labs use purified RAW proteins for their test panels, Cyrex acknowledges that this does not factor into how we commonly consume certain foods. In order to test “real world exposures to real food,” Cyrex tests for both RAW and COOKED forms of foods on this panel. Heating food above 118°F changes a food’s protein structure and therefore its antigenicity. As a result, an individual could react to the cooked form of a food but not the raw form, and vice versa. For example, maybe a previous food sensitivity panel said that broccoli was non-reactive for you, but you notice that you experience negative symptoms whenever you eat it. If you were tested for broccoli using a standard RAW broccoli extract, then you may test non-reactive, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that COOKED broccoli is non-reactive as well. So, perhaps you are sensitive to the protein structure in COOKED broccoli but not the form in raw broccoli, but the problem is, you always eat your broccoli cooked. Since we eat our meat cooked, that’s how Cyrex tests those proteins – as cooked beef/chicken/pork. Many vegetables are frequently eaten either cooked or raw, so Cyrex tests both forms in a number of cases (i.e. broccoli).
