[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not just the PP's singular story.  There are many of us telling you that we breastfed and did everything "right," and anaphylactic food allergies are still there.  I know you want a simplistic answer, but if scientists don't know and can't find the reason,[b] I am pretty sure your attempts to place the blame on maternal laziness are not going to work.[/b]

Personally, I believe that the increase in allergies and mental illness are related (not that they are related in a single person, but that there may be a common factor causing the societal increase in both).  Histamine is also a neurotransmitter.  Many antidepressants have powerful antihistamine properties.  They have found elevated histamine levels in some anorexics.  There is a potential relationship between these things worthy of more research.[/quote]

OP here. Who is this intended for? It appears out of context.

Your second paragraph is more interesting and dovetails with the 2nd "cause" that pops up easily on Dr. Google. Mental illness. My simplistic 2+2 =7 reasoning here is going outside, which is often linked to mental health. Vitamin D is what some experts are saying. [/quote]
