[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 392505, member: 84"] In all truth, I think allergies in general have become more rampant than ever. I don't recall a single kid in my grade school being allergic to food. I do recall one being allergic to bees and another having major issues with ragweed ect. That doesn't mean necessarily there wasn't a kid or two with a food allergy......just none I came into contact with. What a mother eats wouldn't create an allergy in the child. The fetus has absolutely no contact with the food the mother ingests, by the time the fetus gets the nourishment it is in the form of amino acids ect. I do think our modern sterile environments are contributing to this. But Aubrey has allergies and I can testify that while Nichole is clean, the child's environment is anything but sterile. lol Same for Brandon.......and easy child is clean, but is careful not to overuse cleaning products. So I just don't think it's the entire problem. I also think it's all the preservatives in our food, the chemicals sprayed on lawns, crops ect, the antibiotics given to livestock.........just an overall huge change in environment. I mean even our diets have changed in a huge way since we were kids. Eating at a fast food place was a rare event during my childhood. Most meals were cooked from scratch, no prepackage food for us. lol Our veggies were home grown.......no pesticides or store bought fertilizer either. So I think it's is the accumulation of a lot of contributing factors making this a much bigger problem than it used to be. [/QUOTE]
