A testing company who also conduct their own research will give you the confidence that they are passionate about the work that they do and are striving to make a difference to the food intolerance community.<\/p>\n<p>We feel that it should be essential that a testing supplier provides evidence that their test works. The only way they can show their test is valid and effective is to provide evidenced data. If a testing provider does not show information about their own research or publish their own data, you should err on the side of caution.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Which food intolerance companies evidence on their website that their test is effective?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorktest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/01\/graphs2-Copy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"454\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><em>(Accurate as of October 2018)<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>We don\u2019t want to blow our own trumpet, but yorktest are the\u00a0<u>only<\/u>\u00a0food intolerance testing company who conduct clinical trials \/ independent research into food intolerance and the affects it can have on the mind and body.
