About a third of mothers are less likely to suffer from allergies if they eat nuts during pregnancy, according to new research in Denmark.Danish generational study found that women who ate nuts more than once a week were associated with a lower incidence of allergy-related diseases in children.study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, examined the relationship between maternal peanut intake and allergy development during pregnancy, as well as children with allergic diseases.In recent years, the link between
mothers takingnuts and the risk of allergies in children has been debated, and scientific findings provide a mixture of whether maternal nut intake has any effect on the rate of allergies in children
- whether it increases or decreases the risk., for example, until a few years ago, women should try to avoid eating tree nuts because they feared it would increase their children's risk of peanut allergies. However,
was withdrawn
2009 because the Food Standards Agency believed there was no clear evidence of any risk.The Danish National Serum Institute, led by Ekaterina Maslova, tracked more than
60,000
mothers and their children, from the early stages of pregnancy to the age of
7,
, and found that eating nuts during pregnancy reduced the risk of allergies and reduced the risk of asthma in children by about a quarter in
18
months and by a third in
7
years. Maslova and her colleagues said: "We found that eating peanuts and tree nuts once or more a week during pregnancy reduced the risk of allergic diseases in children. They : "These findings do not support avoiding nut consumption during pregnancy.the
NHS
Select Service said that while the study took into account a number of factors that could influence the link between nut consumption during pregnancy and asthma in children, "it is difficult to ensure that they are fully taken into account." However the service added: "Exposure to low levels of allergens to reduce their sensitivity is not a new idea, in fact this treatment (immunotherapy) has been used to treat certain allergies." Therefore, it makes sense to think that eating nuts during pregnancy exposes the developing fetus to these compounds, which may reduce the development of allergies later in childhood. Instudy Maslova and her colleagues asked
61,908,
women about their eating habits during pregnancy, including regular nut consumption.team examined the health of the women's babies after they were born, specifically whether they had been diagnosed with asthma or wheezing symptoms at
18
months of age. Then there's the second
when
is 7 and 7 years old.the main findings of the survey were that maternal consumption of peanuts or tree nuts (defined as consumption at least once a week) was associated with a
20 to
25
percent reduction in the risk of being diagnosed with asthma in a child at
18months of age.children who ate peanuts once or more times a week were
34 percent less likely to develop asthma and
17 percent less likely to develop asthma at age
compared to people who never
.authors say this is reasonable because eating nuts during pregnancy exposes developing fetuses to compounds present in nuts, which may reduce their likelihood of developing allergies.
