Peanuts or peanut oil are in many products that most of us don't have to think about.
in the vast majority (if the 350% increase is to be believed, that would be 78%) of them aren't allegeric at all.
Can you prove your percentages are actual increases in allergies---or, increased awareness. Where do your stats come from?...your peanut-size brain! Why would anybody even want to know how many people who claim to be, aren't REALLY allergic to peanuts?
Your lack of empathy for those who really do have an allergy is mind-boggling.
Actually the statistic on an increase from 1995 for the 350% increase in peanut allergies is from the New England Journal of Medicine. I doubt that increase is from “increased awareness” for one simple reason. If it’s from increase awareness, those people have very minor allergies...either than or people with really genes that make their children susceptible to severe peanut allergies are interbreeding. There is a six-letter word for that which I won’t use because it would offend you, so I will just state that you need to think of the big word at the end of the last sentence and strike out letters three through five. So where did the 350% increase in peanut allergies come from? What is the mechanism other than that ten letter word that causes all those peanut allergies? I woulda thunk that Skippy, Peter Pan, and Jif would have eliminated the genetic cause of the problem long ago...but then I guess yuppies don’t eat peanut butter when claiming a peanut allergy gets them a salami sandwich instead.
