[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two aspects to consider.

-Pregnant women in their 30s are now usually insulin resistant (but pass their diabetes screenings), their breast milk is full of hormone disrupters, and both mother and child are pumped with antibiotics at birth, further disrupting gut flora. All this sets the stage for weight gain. Then comes all the circadian disruption.

-This region is woefully behind when it comes to child nutrition norms. Elite travel teams eat cvs ice cream sandwiches as team snack. Artsy preschools have no plastic toys but serve generic goldfish. [/quote]

I think the obsession with food allergies has led to more unhealthy ultra processed food in preschools. My kid loves nuts, but can't bring them to school, so he brings goldfish instead. God forbid you bring a peanut butter sandwich, instead it's processed  chicken nuggets or fish sticks. He can't even bring hummus because of sesame allergies. If people would food their kids these things in infancy it would greatly eliminate these allergies later and allow for more nutritious foods for everyone in schools.[/quote]

Food allergies are not caused by parents. But thanks for your sympathy and understanding. [/quote]

Many allergies would never develop if parents fed their infants nuts. The evidence is pretty clear on that. Bad advice from the APA for years was a huge contributor. Not all allergies, but many. See the study on Ashkenazi Jews in Israel and outside Israel. Israeli parents routinely feed their infants a snack with peanut powder. Very low rates of peanut allergies later. The same genetic population outside of Israel feeds their babies like the rest of America. Much higher rates of peanut allergies in childhood.[/quote]

Nuts are not the only allergy. Again, your ignoance is astounding. There are also non-IgE mediated allergies to foods. [/quote]
