According to the NIH’s publicly accessible All of Us research data, there are more corn allergy sufferers than sesame. They should add corn to the list for required food labeling, too. Access the data browser here: databrowser.researchallofus.org

Screen caps showing Corn IgE at 0.28% of participants and number 78 on the list and Sesame IgE at 0.22% of participants and number 93 on the list. Search was for serum IgE.

The NIH is inviting one million people to participate in building “one of the most diverse health databases in history” which they hope will help to “find ways to treat and prevent disease.”

They have made the aggregate level data publicly searchable: https://databrowser.researchallofus.org/
