Additional Informations

Zesty Lemon Bars, as the name suggests, contains lemon as its primary ingredient. Being a citrus fruit, lemons are considered histamine liberators, thus has the potential to promote the release of histamine in the body. This effect does not add to the body's histamine level directly but could trigger histamine release from immune system cells, which could amplify histamine-mediated reactions in individuals tending towards histamine intolerance or sensitivity. However, it is also significant to note the other ingredients contained in zesty lemon bars. If these bars include other additives, preservatives, or any of the identified histamine-rich or histamine-liberating substances noted, there might be an additive effect leading to a heightened histamine response. The presence of sugar in lemon bars does not manifest any significant impact on histamine levels. On the contrary, some research suggests sugary foods might decrease the release of histamine from certain immune system cells, thereby potentially offering a counteractive effect on the histamine liberation commanded by lemons. That said, "This product has not been researched well enough to publish any informations, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon" would encapsulate it aptly pending further detailed analysis and documentation of its impact on histamine levels. References: - Maintz L, Novak N.
