Eating Peanuts During Pregnancy, Still Unclear

Filed in archive Food Allergies by ruth on September 21, 2007

Indeed, there have been countless studies indicating that a pregnant woman's diet has a big influence on the health of her child not just during in utero, but also predisposes the child to certain diseases later in life. But when it comes to peanut allergies, reports have been very confusing.

The Mayo Clinic and Tommy's, a UK charity dedicated to maximising women's health during pregnancy, both advise pregnant women to AVOID eating peanuts, particularly if she or her partner has allergies or eczema, to reduce the child's chances of developing peanut allergies.

Now, they say this advise may be 'entirely wrong and counter-productive'.

Personally, I'm not sure. I feel that the issue of peanut allergies and its increasing incidence in Western countries is more complex and multi-factorial. More likely, the maternal diet is just one factor, with a multitude of others that contribute to the likelihood of a child developing allergies, to peanut or to some other substance.
