I think it’s GMO. Makes sense to me. Why else?

It is the opposite in the case of peanuts. Scientists have been working on genetically modifying peanuts and other nuts and legumes to make them less dangerous to those who are allergic to them.

As far as why kids in the USA are now four times more allergic to peanuts than they were just a three decades ago... One of the most likely new theories is that “exposure to peanut protein by unborn or nursing babies, the tiny amounts that may enter the baby’s circulation when a pregnant or nursing woman eats peanuts might actually induce tolerance, not sensitization.”

This is just so, so typical isn't it? In the past three decades pregnant women were warned not to eat peanut products and to keep peanut products away from their babies... and this it turns out this may be the reason why kids have now become more likely to be allergic to peanuts later in their lives.

Thanks for the reply. Still, I have no idea.

At some point, I just decided that I don’t like peanut butter or apples, after many years.

I like lettuce, tubers, and spinach, and other vegetables, not fruits for some reason. Meat and fish are great, but expensive for me lately.
