This fits with something else I’ve heard, that kids who grow up in rural areas have far fewer allergies than kids in the city. They get exposed to a whole range of natural stuff early on and their body learns not to freak out about it.
Whipped shrimp, grapefruit pudding, a whole slew of new products waiting to be developed.
I’ve often wondered about that.
Grew up in the 50’ & 60’s. Peanut allergies were unheard of back then.
Peanut butter sandwiches a staple in most homes. Kids including myself and my brothers frequently carried peanut butter sandwiches to school for lunch.
Roasted peanut snacks common in bars, restaurants and on planes.
Seems to me that it’s a modern phenomenon.
Top 9 “milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame”
Must not work that way with eggs. Who doesnt feed babies eggs?
Come to think of it my little brother had some kind of issue with milk that he grew out of.
or let them play in the yard and eat some dirt good for the system ,LOL
Jewish children in Israel have a fraction of food allergies of the Jewish children in the UK. Specifically, the most popular snack food in Israel is Bambas peanut puffs (like Cheetos Puffs except peanut coating instead of cheese coating), and is a favorite with Israel toddlers. Peanut allergies very rare there.
My guess is that people gave up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the 80s as they were trying to be “healthy”.
Never really understood this. What caused parents to stop feeding peanut products to their children?
