>>The last 10 or 20 years I’ve heard so much about this peanut thing. I can’t remember a single case of the same thing going back through all my younger days, youth and childhood.<<

I agree it is most strange. When I was a kid we ate PB&J sandwiches all the time. I never once heard of someone who was allergic (MUI PB is not allowed in most/all schools).

That and autism and can’t be scientifically traced to anything so far.

It is crazy how this peanut thing seems to be escalating. Maybe the first time you give your child peanuts or peanut butter should be in the doctor’s office.

And your right about autism too.

RE: “no scientific evidence that vaccines cause autism”

Actually, there is Ample evidence they do.

READ the vaccine side affects label:

Well duh. It is caused by illegal aliens. Everybody knows that.

There is reason to suspect that in recent decades, greater cleanliness and higher rates of antibiotic use contributed to the development of allergies by reducing exposure to bacteria and the load and variety of "good bacteria" normally resident in the human gut. Looking for things to monitor and sometimes battle, the immune system then attacks food particles and airborne particulates. This is thought to result in the development of allergies and intolerances.

In addition to this widely accepted "hygiene hypothesis," in susceptible individuals another source of allergies may be now common organic chemical compounds that disrupt the hormone and immune systems. Pesticides, cooking with plastic and non-stick cookware, and relying on canned and plastic sealed foods are the usual ways by which such chemicals enter the human body.

Moreover, in recent years, a lack of adequate Vitamin D intake and of sun exposure to activate it may also contribute to allergies. Among the functions of Vitamin D is helping the immune system to focus its destructive attentions on genuine menaces instead of the misdirected effort of allergic reactions.
