You are on placement in a GP practice which holds a nurse-led asthma clinic once a week.  The nurse practitioner in charge of the clinic tells you that asthma affects around 11% of the Australian population, and results in around 40,000 hospital admissions each year.  She also tells you that the common pharmacological treatments can have long-term side effects, so she is keen to promote holistic methods to assist patients in controlling their asthma.  You are interested to know whether diet can have an effect on asthma, and decide to find out.
