Re: Ontology to link food and diseases

Good idea, Marco.  A collated reverse lookup of medical literature for food incompatibilities would be helpful for the layman. The US FDA, Centers for Disease Control maintains Posion Hot Line (phone).  They may probably have created a "reverse lookup" / Ontology already.

You can obtain all the "instances" (citations) you could ever want here ...

     Hi all, 
 
     
 
     I'm looking for an ontology/controlled
 vocabulary/alike that links
     food ingredients/substances/dishes to human
 diseases/conditions,
     like intolerances, allergies, diabetes etc. 
 
     
 
     Examples of information I'd like to find coded
 (please assume
     they're true, I'm no expert):
 
       - gluten must be avoided by people affected by
 coeliac disease
 
       - omega-3 is good for people with high cholesterol
 
       - sugar should be avoided by people with diabetes
 risk
 
     
 
     I also would like linked data about commercial food
 products, but
     even an ontology without 'instances' would be
 useful.  
 
     
 
     So far, I've found an amount of literature (eg,
     
     
     [1-3]) and vocabularies like AGROVOC[4], but nothing
 like the above.
 
     
 
     Thanks in advance for any help!
 
     Marco
