Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 February 28, 2007 Pregnancy diet may impact child's allergy risk http://sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003 & articleID=400362DACA8AD3CBFAF07300BC4BD898 NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - What a woman eats during pregnancy may influence the odds that her child will develop allergies, a new study hints. Dr. Joachim Heinrich, of GSF-Institute of Epidemiology, Neuherberg, Germany, and colleagues studied associations between maternal diet during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy and allergies and eczema in offspring at age 2 years. They analyzed data from 2,641 children. Overall, 17.7 percent of all children had doctor-diagnosed eczema at age 2. A total of 9.3 percent were sensitized to food allergens, most commonly milk and eggs, and 4.8 percent were sensitized to inhaled allergens. After adjusting for potentially confounding factors, positive associations were observed between high maternal intakes of margarine and vegetable oils during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy and eczema during the first 2 years in the offspring. On the other hand, eating a lot of fish late in pregnancy seemed to offer some protection against eczema in offspring. The study also found that children born to moms who ate a lot of celery and citrus fruit were at increased risk for sensitization to food allergens. Sensitization to inhaled allergens was also associated with high maternal intakes of deep-frying vegetable fat, raw sweet pepper and citrus fruit. Despite these apparent associations, the researchers say "before any recommendations can be made, randomized clinical intervention trials should be performed to confirm the cause-effect relation observed in the present study."

War, famine, suppressed cures for catastrophic diseases, abortion acceptance, and health-destroying, cancer-producing Monsanto monopolized genetically modified foods all reduce world population and produce big profits. - Deanna Spingola, Political Researcher.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 This study is not accurate. They forgot to mention that Sugar attacks the adrenals (look it up) and causes allergies. So the only way they would be able to know that for sure - is to only study cases of children who DID NOT consume refined sugar AND/OR their parents while pregnant did not consume refined sugars. Of which, did not happen...so..... That would be like testing a certain kind of new floating device while it was attached to the side of a boat with a short rope. Makes no sense. Donna N.
