Health effects of salicylates in foods and drugs

Nutr Rev. 1996 Aug;54(8):225-40. doi: 10.1111/j.1753-4887.1996.tb03940.x.

Abstract

There is much (renewed) interest about the effects of salicylates on food intolerance, attention-deficit disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Current evidence for the efficacy of salicylate-elimination diets in the treatment of attention-deficit disorders and hyperactivity is weak, and further investigation is required on the relationship between salicylates and cardiovascular disease.
