Eating Peanuts when pregnat can cause food allergy for baby? (Torrie Johnson)

This week I'm doing my blog on if you eat peanuts while pregnant you can put your baby at increase risk for peanut allergy. Five studies were done on 503 infants who were either allergic to milk or egg or had a enzema or strong sensitivty to peanuts. 140 infants tested postive because either their mother at peanuts during the pregnancy or it was in her blood stream. Although the studies don't say that women should not eat peanuts when pregnant it does say that you should watch how much you eat them while pregnant. In 2000 there was a recommindatin that women should watch their intake of peanut produts while pregnant and breast feeding, but that was removed due to lack of scientific evidence. I think that is crazy my mom ate peanuts when she was pregnant with me and I don't have an allergy to peanuts. I think that it all depends on your family history because if your family have a history of food allergies then that could be an indicater that your child may have a food allergy. You shouldn't tell people what they can and cannot eat while pregnant unless it does harm to that person are the baby. However if they do have evidence that this is true, then i would have no problem not eating peanuts when I get pregnant, but for now there isn't. That's how i see it and this is my blog for this week.
