If mothers not eating peanuts can lead to peanut allergies, maybe the reason pregnant women crave random food is so that their child is exposed to a wide range of proteins at that stage of development.
My mother ate all sorts of nuts and I'm allergic to peanuts so…
Dr. Robuttnic He has a younger brother and sister though....wait....I said to much!
FireBall Don't worry about the comments, they're everywhere on youtube..
FireBall low risk doesn't mean no risk
They have actually successfully treated peanut allergies by introducing tiny amounts into the person's diet until they are able to eat it normally. And, these people had no adverse reactions with this method. There are a number of studies proving that the 'airborne peanut dust allergy' is extremely rare. The patients in these studies had psychological reactions because their parents had drilled this bs into them. So that if they smelled peanuts or saw them they would hyperventilate, turn red and sometimes develop rashes. But those same kids had NO reaction when exposed to even more peanuts when they were not aware of it. So, yeah, some of it is in your head. And if you want to fix it, there is a fix. Instead of spending all that effort to make someone else not eat nuts, take your butt to a real doctor that can help you get rid of the allergy.
my mom actually ate a ton of peanut products while I was still in the womb
And I'm severely allergic to peanuts. ._.
Yeah! My mom ate lots a strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, dairy, eggs, peanuts, etc... all allergic.
same
Just out of curiosity, how old are you and did you receive all your vaccines growing up? My son has a severe peanut allergy and I have done research which is leading me to believe it's root cause is vaccines.
Growing up my parents actually didnt do many vaccines for except the flu shot. Allergens are mostly genetic and is most likely not because of vaccines
Dude same my mom craved walnuts when she was pregnant with me and now that's the one nut (out of all them) that I'm allergic to the most 😂😂
My BFF was eating peanut butter crackers at lunch and she knew I was allergic so when the other girl next to me was eating it too my BFF bent over me and told her so I smelled it and had a reaction, a kid next to me in class also was eating it and I told him, he just stared at me and pushed it in my face then started laughing, again I turned red in front of everyone. When you say "I can die bc I'm allergic" they stick it in your face and laugh and then you react for real, kids are such goddamn idiots
Same for me I told someone I was deathly allergic and they smeerd peanut butter all over my arm and I ended up being rushed to the hospital
YES I AGREE AND WHEN YOU SAY STOP THEY SAY STOP BEING A BABY. IM LIKE WELL I CANT HELP THAT I CAN DIE FROM IT
I'd get new friends if I were you
Beautygurl101 I know how you feel I also have a peanut allergie
i would've beaten the hell out of that person and say "WHOS LAUGHING NOW' and then spit on him as i beat him then make him have a bloody nose and then use his body to slam it to other people as i go on a rampage and blow up the school. okay sorry i had to get that anger out of my system i have been very mad
Its a'll genetics and medicine.
In the past, people who had fatal allergies died, but because of advances in medicine we can now prevent the deaths. this means that the people with the allergies go on to have children with the allergies and so on.
I wish there was a way around this. Genetics and biology can be unfair.
I'm not allergic or anything, but for the sake of those who are, factories need to stop producing chocolate on the same conveyor belts as anything with nuts in them. Pretty much every chocolate rapper I have that doesn't cover chocolate with nuts in it says "If you're allergic to any kind of nut, don't eat this delicious snack, because we're too lazy to make it on a separate production line in the factory. But don't worry, we didn't intend this delicious snack to have nuts in it..."
Amen.
Yay, then all of these delicious snacks can cost 6 times as much. OOooh, I know, no more nuts for public consumption. Then we can see what kind of pressure this puts on every other item in our food line, demand prices everything is suspect. You must be some kind of genius.
As the other guy said, what the rapper says does not mean to tell you that it was made on the same production line, it's a requirement whenever the food was made within the same facility as foods containing allergens.
JWQweqOPDH I eat plenty of chocolate that literally say that they were made on the same production line as nut-filled products on the wrapper. Of course, it's more common to see a simple: "May contain traces of nuts."
It says it may contain nuts so if one chocolate bar happens to have a bit of nut on it for some reason the company can say that they warned you and you can't sue them
Compliment of the day: Trace, I love how in every video you seem totally stoked by science. Your enthusiasm is infections. Keep doing what you do.
When I worked at Cold Stone, we weren't allowed to use the same utensils that we used in peanut butter or peanut butter flavored ice cream on the stone or to mix other ice cream with out washing it first or scraping up the ice cream off the stone. I know we did some things to keep nuts separated from the rest of the food, but it's kind of like eat at your own risk. The Cold Stone I worked at was attached to a Tim Hortons and we used to work both sides, and we had to keep our peanut donuts and maple danishes on the bottom shelf of the donut display so it wouldn't be near the majority of other baked goods, but they're all baked in the same pan, they're glazed with the same glaze... Just be careful.
I'm deathly allergic to eggs, peanuts and treenuts. It sucks. I can't even have peas because it is in the same group as peanuts.
Same though I'm also allergic to fish and shellfish 😬
I'm anaphylactic to peanuts, sesame, tofu and mild to severely allergic to hazelnuts, certain soy products (soy milk), lentils, chickpeas and other legumes. I'm also growing into these allergies, as only 3 years ago I was simply allergic to peanuts and sesame, but now I'm allergic to all this new shit, and i was able to eat Nutella all my life until Christmas last year.
Alana Thomson I have similar legume allergies! :')
Iam allergic to socialist government’s telling the people how to live
Jessica Your allergy must be really really bad because mine is considered severe and I can eat peas.
Maybe the rise in allergies is due to the rise of the hyper clean home. Because houses have be so clean, kids have not really been exposed to any dirt or harmless bugs so the immune system is inexperienced and out of practice. As a result, the immune system response is to go full nuclear and overreacts. Just a theory
That's actually a supported hypothesis. The main claim is that a lack of introduction to parasites causes them, because our defense mechanisms against parasites do the same things that the 'defense' for allergens does, like opening blood vessels (hives & severe blood pressure drop), and constricting the airways to prepare to throw up the parasite if it can't be eradicated any other way (nausea, cramps, throwing up, trouble breathing). Except because our bodies can't properly fight the "parasite," the cycle continues until the lack of air or drop in blood pressure kills the person.
MegaSupernova888 I can't remember exactly what the condition was but one researcher found that the presence of a parasitic worm produced a substance that blocked the condition (if I remember correctly, it was some type of blood condition but I might be wrong.)
Well, that certainly wouldn't happen at my house! Dirty enough to be healthy! That should be my new motto.

I think you could be right on this one. Someone I used to live with many years ago, grew up in a practically sterile environment and was riddled with allergies in adulthood.
synapse131 I talked to some parents who ingested some form of heart worm that got rid of their allergies.
People dont understand how mentally terrifying anaphylaxis is. Many just think that it's a physical reaction, but I feel a sense of impending doom. I am brought to tears, and everything goes blank.
I hear ya...
Mike Pooleh i feel u bro, I just had my first allergy right now , I'm 20 years old and strangely I ate peanuts before and didn't had any reaction ,i feelt like I was dying had itches ,running nose, coughs,hives on my arms,I couldn't breath through my nose and barely through mouth ,I sneezed like 15 times in a row ....God it was awful ,my mother called the ambulance I think I would've died if they didn't arrived in time... I wouldn't wish this to happen even on my worst enemy...
And I'm from Europe
@@gwynbleidd7510
I had the same happen to me resently.
After 20 years of eating all kind of nuts I got a food allergy from eating an oatmeal cookie with hazelnuts and almonds.
However my reaction only started 4 hours after consumption.
My reaction was also kind of mild. Only had swollen eyes, nose, heartburn and problem breathing because of throat that started to close off.
So we rushed to the GP down the road and he have me a high dose antihistamine pill.
And no way dude I am also from Europe
If my kid had a severe allergy I definitely wouldn't send them to school until they were old enough to be responsible for what they eat. Schools are TERRIBLE about keeping food out of the hands of kids with allergies. This is probably why there are so many peanut bans...because allergic kids would end up with peanuts if they didn't ban them.
Danica, just give him home made food, that's all you have to do, not cut his/her education..
I already homeschool anyway but when I send my kids places without me I pack their food. Anyway...kids often go to daycare when they are too young for school. I worked in a daycare and they don't check ingredients. They gave a kid who was allergic to eggs pancakes with egg in them and she broke out into big red blotches. Her mom had to be called and she had to be picked up because teachers are incompetent when it comes to allergies.
***** Yeah, but.. I think that your child deserves a ''normal'' life, besides the meals, a lot of homeschooled people become lonely, drepressed and antisocial, tho not all..
I think you'll have to talk with your husband, but I'm not going to get in your personal space, that or let him (the kid) choose maybe he wants to go to schools one day, don't force him to be homeschool if he doesn't want to..
Yeah, I know.. most people are careless these days..
You know...you probably just don't know anything about homeschooling. There are homeschool co-ops where the homeschoolers get together to make friends. He also goes to a place every day for three hours to make friends and have a social life. He has autism and public school just isn't the right place for him. If you homeschool and keep your kid away from everyone then obviously that is a bad thing...but today there are lot of options and homeschoolers are often better socialized than public school kids.
That hasn't been allowed sense 2001.
There is a girl at my school who I may or may not like, she has an allergy to peanuts. I believe that she is a flawless woman and it hurt me when I found out of her allergy because something that is so abundant in the world could actually harm someone I really enjoy being around. Not only does that bother me but it makes me unhappy because I enjoy peanuts and peanut butter. I have really no way of talking to her until today, not only because of this video, it just adds another thing to talk to her about, plus I really enjoy these types of videos.
im an insomniac, an agnostic, and dyslexic.... so i spend most night in bed awake wondering if dog really exists
Funny
I was born allergic to Peanuts. As I got older, I grew out of my allergy (so says my Doctor). So, I tried peanut butter for the first time when I was 20...Tastes disgusting, it is clearly something you need to grow up with to enjoy.
I really hope i can grow out of my alergie
Sounds like something I would say, when I grow out of my allergy I’ll probably not like it either. My mom dislikes peanut butter as well
I live in Australia and I have lived in Melbourne 12 years and just moved to Brisbane and have notice that there are almost no people allergic to peanuts here.
I used to be allergic to a bunch of stuff as a kid, (tests said it was strawberries, milk, dog hair and others I don't really remember), I would sometimes get rushes all over my body and had to take meds to make it go away, but I still lived with a dog and ate normally and with time they just went away. Now I live with two dogs, eat whatever I want and I haven't gotten a proper allergic reaction in probably ten years if you ignore the ones with cheap earrings (I know I shouldn't, but I can't help myself) truth is I still use the line "I'm sorry, I'm allergic to that" to get out of poorly cooked meals (hey, there are tests that say it's true!)
i can't live without peanut butter
I can't live with peanut butter.
I wish I could say the same. in fact I can't.. but I found out I'm allergic to it
I have to live without peanut better
I can’t live
It's disgusting
My mom ate a ton of peanut butter when she was pregnant and I'm highly allergic
sad for you. your immune system must be a dum dum then
+Britt Holmstrom-Salisbury no like your fucking name
+Prep Life Rude :(
Prep Life same I’m allergic
Same
I have a severe allergy to tree nuts, not peanuts. And I think that getting into the habit of reading labels really helps. I automatically read everything. Plus it's kind of like a sixth sense.
My mom ate peanuts and tree nuts while she was pregnant and while breast feeding. Her and my dad also used to eat them by the handful when I was a baby until I was 2 and had a severe reaction.
There is a growing number of "undereducated, iPhone carrying, Starbucks sipping, Ugs waring, reality show watching, not checking your blind spot, minivan driving, stay at home moms" who freak out over minuscule defects in their children. Timmy's eyes swol shut because of his peanut allergy, so now my kids can't bring PB&J to lunch. I'm allergic to pears and have crazy seasonal allergies, but I still eat pears and work outside. Pears are delicious and spring sucks. Like the kids from the old days, you just deal with it and press on.
There is a huge difference between being slightly allergic to pears and having seasonal allergies and having anaphylaxis. With anaphylaxis there would be no way you could "still eat pears". You would be dead if you kept eating them.
You took the exact thoughts out of my mind, every single word😮
It’s the mothers’ fault again. 🙄
How isn't the human microbiome and the deviation of it over the years mentioned in this video? I thought it was a well-known fact that over-sanitation, antibiotics and the more and more common C-section* contributed to our immune system not getting the right circumstances to learn how to differentiate between pathogens and, for example, allergens, hence allergies becoming more common.
(* as well as lack of breast feeding as suggested before me apparently, it is important to get lactobacillus bacteria into your system after [and during the birth from the canal] for normal immune development)
/)
Because it's the most unethical thing - to force natural selection on a human population; it's wrong in our day and age to allow someone to die from a disease without trying to cure them
dankosta1 Eh? I bet you've read something wrong or wanted to answer to a different comment.

The first one is from 2008 and that's why they're not being certain, but the second article is from 2013 and they're already pretty sure.
I think part of it has to do with not breastfeeding as much, as well. One of my cousins had horrible allergies, and the doctor told her to breastfeed her daughter for as long as reasonably possible. So far, the little girl is 3 and doesn't have any food allergies.
A study also found that allergic reactions to peanuts were mostly only to roasted nuts and different roasting methods produced different results, which I think explains why there are more peanut allergy probe puerile in western cultures than others.
*Allergy prone people*
of course the number of people allergic to peanuts has risen ... the question to ask is if the ratio of people allergic to population is increasing
The ratio is, it's because of the lack of early exposure, as they said in the video.
Peanuts used to be a major staple in the US, they've become much less so in recent years, and the worry of allergic reactions makes new mothers even more timid to give their young ones any, which escalates the issue.
TL;DW
"why are peanut allergies becoming so common?"
2 seconds: "and scientists don't even know why."
😡
I read some research that said the peanut allergy is associated with children not getting exposed to enough germs when they’re young. The parents I know with allergy prone kids are also the parents who don’t let their toddlers play outside in the dirt, they wash their hands constantly and generally live an (over)protected life. These kids don’t get to handle bugs, pet dogs, eat food off the floor occasionally, climb trees, or other germ filled normal childhood activities. I believe that this kind of parenting is why we’ve seen an increase in peanut allergies. I know a lot of people won’t like this answer but there it is. Babies need germs for their immune system to develop. I also think moms don’t breastfeed long enough. Most of the kids I’ve seen who’ve breastfed for 2 years or more, do not have this allergy. More research is going into the relationship between breastfeeding and lack of allergies. Breastfeeding isn’t just a food. It’s a custom immunity mix that’s been filtered and specially made for the baby. The baby’s saliva sends information via the nipple to the moms body and the mom’s mammary glands make the ideal mix for the baby’s needs. Because of this relationship, the pump isn’t good enough. Neither is buying breast milk. The bare minimum for breastfeeding is 6 months but after more research is done I believe they will find that it should go on much longer.
That’s prob the truth
Yeah but I do all of those things (I go outside in the dirt, I eat food off the floor **as soon as they hit the ground so they aren’t dirty** and I handle bugs, and pet dogs and cats and was literally on a dirty farm yesterday) so what about those people..?
I could be that we detect it way more than we did in the past. Simply because medical technology has made a huge leap forward in the past 50 years.
Or it could be that more people are being diagnosed being allergic to peanuts because a smaller reaction was not being diagnosed an allergy in the past, but now it does.
I'm allergic to peunut but the ONLY symptom I get is that my throat swells up and I cant breath!
same ;-;

I have egg peanut and shellfish and my mom just called to tell me I have a gluten allergy now l, er did test a week ago, I've never had a prob with gluten so I don't under stand
Thanks for the video. I have been having peanuts as a source of protein the last few days and every day my gut feels really bad and I get bad poo. I thought I may have had a bug or something, but as it transpired I think I got an intolerance which is annoying.
TRUE!! Here in Ontario Canada almost all schools ban everything that has nuts, or even May contain nuts not just peanuts. It really sucks. I'm not sure about the rest of Canada though. I wish we could change that rule.
Trace, that color is really good on you!
I think is bigger question is why haven't these weak links been bred out of existence?
Thnik about it, what happen since the 70s on the food industry... that can do this.
almost died 2 days back. i was treating myself to a peanut butter porridge at night while working. few minutes later i could not breathe my .i went outside tried my best to breathe in.even through my mouth.went to see doctor in the morning got treatment. i love peanut butter so much this hurts me
There are some who say that raising a child in a neat-freak home is actually dangerous. As bad as dust and pollen are, they aren't harmful, and raising a child in a dust/pollen free environment could be the trigger of developing allergies.
I thought they'd pinned down the exact book that told everyone to never expose kids to dirt or any possible allergen? I'm sure it turned out that yes, this was in fact the fastest way to teach kids immune systems how to overreact to every single thing .
He never explained why peanut allergies were becoming so common. SMH
Yeah because he said scientists aren't sure why
I have a severe allergy to peanuts. The amount of selfish people commenting surprises me. I didn't do anything to deserve my severe allergy and there is nothing I can do about it to make someone else in the lunchroom's life easier but all that these people complaining have to do is substitute their peanut butter for almond butter (an example) or maybe eat something else. If you insist that a child should eat alone because of his or her allergies, you do not know how emotionally damaging and selfish that is because you never had to go through it. I would risk allergic reactions at school so I didn't have to sit alone. So eat your pb&j's at home.
They world isn’t catered to you just stay away from people eating peanuts
I heard this saying that banning peanuts is not the answer. But what about the many cases where when a Child smells ANY type of nut or nut product. They can go into analytic shock which is where there throat closes up. I worked in daycare for many years. I worked many children who were that allergic.
I'm lactose intolerant. Found that out at the beginning of a school year after a vegan summer, I missed a lot of school. When we went in to see what was up the gastroenterologist said I was the most lactose intolerant person he'd ever met.
I get sick often because I LOVE cheese.
As far as peanuts, the lead singer of my favorite band is allergic to nuts. She ate a nut by accident and had to go to the hospital on the day of a show. And they still played.
I wonder if anyone has thought that the rise of people allergic to things like this might simply be due to more people who are allergic passing on genes. With improvements in medical tech and diagnosis people are identified early on and survive a bad/potentially fatal reaction. Also pediatric doctors recommend slowly introducing babies to new foods as it will help identify what food causes an reaction. This comes after many cases of unidentified food reactions as seen in ERs around the nation. With all these people surviving what used to be a deadly reaction a hundred years ago, these people are passing on genes to new generations.
It would continue to be quite low, unless peanut allergies cause you to breed more than the average person, which makes no sense.. the lack of exposure theory is more sound.. asthma is more common too
Man! I can't imagine being allergic to peanuts, I love peanuts at the game or having peanut butter cookies. Glad I'm not allergic to anything, besides people. Haha I kid, I love people! Sometimes.
I am not allergic to any foods that I know of, but I am allergic to dogs, cats, and I think pretty much all animals that have fur, but I'm not sure. I badly allergic to horses so whenever I ride a horse, I start sneezing and getting watery eyes and my eyes apparently get swollen up. I get asthma attacks whenever I'm heavily exposed to cats, and I'm not as badly allergic to dogs (i have a dog) but like everyday I deal with sneezing and sometimes get asthma so i carry my inhaler everywhere
I'm eating a bag of peanut medley while watching this. So good.
I'm on an immunosuppressant for MS, I developed a peanut allergy 6 months later.
I can breath properly but, antihistamine brings me back down quickly. I'm 37.
I've actually never been allergic to anything in my life.
Same
I am also robust.
Yup, me neither, I do however believe that the whole idea of allergens is just counter-productive for the human body. By that I mean, nothing benefits from someone having an allergy to cats right? So why do people have allergies to cats? Surely over the thousands of years that we have been on this earth, we would have evolved out of allergies, that natural selection would pluck it out of our genes and it would disappear but no, when could any part of life actually make any deal of fucking sense at all? Oh but there is one thing that I can recommend, sunscreen. Sunscreen is scientifically proven to help protect our skin from harmful UV rays, UNLIKE FUCKING ALLERGIES!
Lucky. I have a allergy to citrus oils that is life threatening. It's an easy one to avoid so it's not really a big deal. Tree pollen, although not dangerous, is an unavoidable torment.
Aren't you a lucky bugger, I'm the opposite, I continuously develop allergies, and usually when you grow older you grow out from the allergy but mine are becoming more and more dangerous and I'm developing allergies to new foods, like for instance I was never at all allergic to hazelnuts, I loved eats Nutella and shit but now I can't eat it and it's only recently that I can't eat this food
I'm good with peanuts but totally allergic to cucumber - yeah apparently that's a thing. They're related to ragweed so it makes sense for my allergies.
I'm also allergic to a ton of other stuff
I am 23 and have 3 different food allergies including a severe one to all nuts ( not to be confused with a peanut allergy ) life sucked in school and I am happy to see schools banning peanuts however if you start to ban things for one group of allergies then how far is it to banning food in school altogether.
Just know it may not just be peanuts you are allergic to, it can also be shelled seafood etc...the doctors didn't tell me they just said it was shelled seafood but we were also suppose to avoid shelled nuts, seeds and other stuff.
Never in my life, I've meet someone with a peanut allergy, maybe this allergy only occurs to most Americans
I Don't have any Problem with Peanut butter or any Nuts :) i love Dry Fruits and Peanut :o
All I can say is peanut allergy or allergies in general, are such a rich country/American thing. It’s about something you guys do in the States, and we don’t, maybe you guys eat a lot of peanut butter I don’t know.
im glad im not allergic to peanuts, although im allergic to many things, peanuts are one of the best thing in life, i cant even imagine how people can enjoy the world without them
Research has shown more than 90% of adults who are "alergic" to something are in fact not alergic *at all,* but simply _don't like _ whatever they claim to be alergic to. These are the people we ironically call "grown ups."
I love bread. I love pizza. I love pasta. I love not having to worry that the salad dressing or other random food i am eating has gluten in it.
If I eat ANY of these, even a crumb, my skin breaks out and I feel hang over the next day. And if you had to run a blood test on me you would see that my thyroid antibodies are off the charts (not in the readable spectrum) for the next 6 months.
I am 30. Don't know how much more "grown-up" you would like me to be. Maybe you need to realise that not everyone is lucky like you and some peopel have a real problem with this stuff.
FrozenEternity
Of course some people have a real problem with this stuff. It's just a way way way way WAY smaller number of people than _claim_ to have problems with it.
***** A study found that
20% of the total population in USA (i am not from there, but this was where the study was done) have an auto-immune condition. Auto-immune conditions have been linked to food sensitivities. This number is also growing, so I disagree with you. in 20 - 30 years time this will be the norm. Maybe even in less time.
FrozenEternity
BULLSHIT.
The incidence of autoimmune diseases
in the general US population is 3.5%.

More than 90% of Americans _do not_ have autoimmune diseases. You are wrong.
Good day sir.

That is just celiac. I said auto immune disease. as in ALL auto immune.

So you are wrong. Thank you for the bad attitude on a subject you seem to know nothing about, but still want to argue on.
Allergies are from sterile environments.
My place is always a mess and sometimes there's a piece of food I don't see until it's rotting pretty well.
The result?
I am not allergic to anything and I never get sick. The thickest pollen does fuck-all to me.
That's not a result of your environment, instead its more likely that is due to your genetics. Some people are predisposed to over-react to mild stimuli (allergies).
GDI
Pollen and dust used to affect me. It's not genetic. I've become immune to it.
manictiger
Your immune system is the reason why you get allergies in the first place. If you don't get allergies anymore, that means that your immune system isn't overreacting to mild stimuli like pollen. Allergies are overreactions to harmless stimuli

Wrong, I am deathly allergic to all types of nuts except almonds, and if you have a clean house but have eaten a product containing nuts within the last 3-6 hours, I could smell it and die... Coming from another person with an allergy.
I too love organic Smucker's smooth PB on Granny Smith's. It is like a desert to me. Yummo.
I think kids being raised in sterile environments by neurotic mothers are causing the increase in allergies. I was completely DISGUSTING as a kid and i have no allergies, except a sesame sensitivity (but that only showed up after a booster shot)
Scientist dont know why percents grew??? idk, maybe cause theres alot more people idk....
Or people with allergies are getting it on a lot more.
You don't know what percent means ...
Etalyc Entrails Why you mad at me for? I'm on your side.
***** no i was talking about the other people and that you pointed out my statement. Its common sense that percents are going to rise if the genes that carry these allergens spread.
You don't even know what percentage are do you... sigh... I'm just so disappointed in humanity right now. Ok let me try to re-teach you and break it down as simple as possible. A percent is a number over a whole. For example: out of 100 people, 20 are allergic (20%). Out of 200 people 40 are allergic (20%). Out of 1000 people 200 are effected (20%) etc. If the total number of people increase and out of those people, less and less are being affected by peanuts then we say "percentages decrease" But out of the total number of people, more and more people are Being affected than we say "percentage increase". For instance: in 2005, there was 1000 kids in a town and 200 were allergic to peanuts (that's 20%). But in 2010, there were 2000 kids total and 1000 kids were allergic (that's 50%), 20%- 50% is an increase. As you can see, a percentage is a number over a whole (I really hope you know that). let's say in 2005, 500 out of 1000 kids were allergic (50%). And in 2010, 500/2000 Are allergic (25%). 50%- 25% is a decrease. Percentages are based on proportions so what you stated made no sense.
I love peanuts. Raw, though, not roasted or salted.
I'm in heaven when I go to five guys, and snack on those peanuts
DeadlyWhovian That sounds naughty :p
I have raw peaNUTS.
*****
Not funny.
Captain Andy lucky you
My daughter was the one percent. I have no allergies, but her dad does for shellfish. Is there a correlation between the allergies in a parent and That of there child, and an increase in excema? Thanks
Maybe a look into the main regions where they are grown for the biggest companies and what is in the soil or other factors in the growing process (like gmo seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, etc).
GI S Although I don’t have a peanut allergy myself, I’m allergic to other nuts and have asked my allergist if processed foods are to blame for the recent spike in food allergies. Apparently, it is not certain whether processed foods are to blame (I don’t believe so considering the increasing regulations companies face nowadays when it comes to pesticide usage) but antibiotics given to young children have been proven to alter the bacteria found in our stomachs which causes those to be allergic to the proteins found in specific foods.
💯
i have no allergies. i am the ultimate lifeform
Same here
I have some (maybe) but I choose to ignore them. I grew up with a slightly hypochondriac mom who took me to the doctor all the time for no good reason. I wasn’t ever usually that sick. And if you have the cold or flu, shouldn’t you just stay home until it’s over?
She made me drink lactose free milk for years but i didn’t care if it made my stomach hurt. I’m not even sure it was the lactose! I didn’t get a stomach ache when I ate ice cream so it never made sense.
Walnuts give me bumpy red mouth of roof but I eat them anyway. Then I wait for the swelling to go down and eat some more! Mmwahhaha!
I never met person allergic to peanuts. Im from europe
Probably because peanuts are used in Europe as much as in the United States. If you have not been to the United States then you have no idea how much peanuts are used haha. Peanut butter, Peanut oil, Peanut dip, Peanut peanuts.
you are right - the main reason that people get allergic its exposure...
in the US small children (1 to 5) are not expos to peanuts like in the rest of the world.
but the next generation in Europe will be more allergic to peanuts.
and that thanks to the NEWS and TV that scare the new parents
I meant in person, but i guess this will do :)
Here in Europe we eat less peanuts, that's why. Even peanut butter is so rare here in central europe I know only one person who tried and liked it.
Less vacines in Europe isnt? When they started using peanut derivatives as stabilizers in vaccines suddenly peanut allergies exploded
I'm fortunate in that I'm not really allergic to anything, so far as I know. I mean OK, wool makes me itch a bit, and mosquito bites do as well. Aside from that though, I'm sitting pretty.
I have eczema and grass makes me very itchy (as well as some lotion, soap, and well....plants)
It’s not fatal, but it’s very annoying to itch all night and not being able to deal with it
Natural selection?
No enviroment
It’s a recent and environmental phenomenon, genetics are not a factor. It’s a roll of the dice with a certain environmental factor
I feel sick after drinking milk :(
Now that I think about it, I should probably stop drinking milk with vodka :3
That's actually normal
I hate milk
Riley Allen True. Drinking the milk of another animal that is producing milk for its calves is actually kinda unnatural and we have to do things to the milk to stop it from killing us so really milk's kinda disgusting. I love it. ^__^
milk isn't a human food. it's designed for a cow
Who makes the music for DNews? The song playing in the background in this video often comes up a lot. It's really great, I'd love to hear more from the artist.
I was diagnosed with a nut allergy when I was 9 or 10 when I was at a party and ate a bowl of mixed nuts. I can't eat anything that says may contain nuts on the package and have to carry an epipen and loratadine 10mg tablets
I'm allergic to peanuts, treenuts, fish, shellfish, eggs, mangos, and peas. My life sucks
Where's the protein?
Ikr
+XxNovusxX XxOrdoxX guess just like beans and some meat
How many EpiPens do u have
+Ben Dell like 6
I am a Peanut
Wow i don't know anyone who is allergic to milk or dairy let alone peanuts. The single person i know is allergic to something is my father who is allergic to honey, but the allergy came after he had a nasty operation when he was 39 due to the treatment. A map showing how an which allergies are common around the globe would be interesting
I have a severe allergy to peanuts and I know it is because I grew up in "clean house." I have many relatives that have tree nut allergies including aunt, dad, grandma, and sister. It runs in my family and is simple as that. I had it since birth and nothing could have changed the outcome. My sister can eat peanuts but not tree nuts without having a complete breakdown.
Thank god I'm not allergic to peanuts I live peunut BUTTER AND PEANUTS :P
same*high fives*
🙏
Good for u but not good for other people 😑😒
Well that's good!!
I don't want to sound like the conspiracy nut, but could GMOs possibly have anything to do with it?
lel xd
***** some one gets the pun.
ur a nut
No
I suppose it's possible, but technically we've been genetically engineering crops since the birth of agriculture. If a crop didn't grow to the satisfaction of the farmer, that crop wouldn't be given the opportunity to release any seeds, so stronger crops would survive to spread and weaker crops would die.
It's not just the allergies that are annoying to deal with, people that are idiots are too. And by this I mean the ijits that say "You aren't/can't be allergic to that." or "don't be silly, you just don't like/want to eat it". That last one was a NURSE when I told her eating pepper of any kind made me wheeze and hurts my chest. My own parents were like "you are not allergic to fish because WE eat it all the time". How does that matter? I shut them up by saying give me a tiny piece, then rubbed it on a small circle on the side of my arm. They watched as a lovely circle rash showed up, then started scaling or oozing. The nurse was an idiot too, she refused to put pepper on my allergy list then got yelled at by the floor nurse when she had to give me a nebulizer treatment for wheezing and coughing.
So yes, sadly it's not just the allergy you have to put up with. It's easier to live with and you learn but the idiots always seem to pop up to make it worse.
People are getting more allergies because people are getting more inflammatory disease. Modern life has much less exercise, exposure to normal harmless germs, exposure to the outdoors, and intake of unprocessed less-cooked young foods that are would be higher in easily-destroyed omega-3s. Ergo, more inflammation.
pistachio is my favorite type of nut :3
3rd!
I don't have an allergy to peanuts. But somewhere along the lines of changing my diet radically I cease to be able to digest peanuts. I can eat them but they just sort of rot in my system. I avoid them. But I do miss peanuts and peanut butter. I eat sunflower butter now.
I have I weird Rash on my back but I don't know what I'm allergic.
How do you find out what your allergic to?
One of the reasons so many people are allergic is because the children were never exposed to peanuts or the immunity from the mother that prevents them from being allergic. The reason it has grown since the 70's is because that's when the so called hippie movement started. People began eating organic or using soy milk instead of regular milk because they thought it was more natural. This lead to a lower amount of women breastfeeding their babies, which then lead to less children with immunity to things such as peanut allergies. These children grew up on processed formula and other unnatural supplements preventing their bodies from developing properly. They developed problems that most people don't develops, such as peanut allergies. That's why many people grow out of their childhood allergies. They eventually build up an immunity to it from exposure. Many can get rid of their peanut allergies by eating small amounts of peanuts and then more as time progresses. Basically to prevent this from happening breastfeed your children and don't be so afraid to feed them normal food such as peanuts.
JustBookishThings My mom didn't breastfeed me because she had a health scare where they told her to stop breastfeeding. I was raised in formula and have tons of allergies compared to my sister who was breastfed until 3. She's got the strongest immune system!
The thing is that I know a lot of people who were also formula fed and they are not allergic to anything.
When it comes to making claims like this, one has to look at many many MANY situations, and it seems like not breastfeeding isn't a leading cause for why people have allergies. I still believe it was the case with me though :')
I do not believe that it was a child breastfed vs a child not breastfed that has allergy or not. Both of my child we're not breastfeed because I was one of the few mom's who could not produce enough milk and latching was a problem for my children. They both had formula but one has a peanut allergy and the other did not. What I believe as one of the contribution is vaccinations. Of course it is also environmental as well as genetics. Each child reacts different to allergies and many types of allergies. Based on their genetics, some are more sensitive, bit I believe vaccinations, too many, is the culprit.
Evelyn Bui I agree, I was breast fed and ???
I was breasfed and am still quite allergic to peanuts and most other nuts so that can't be the only reason...
Haha...yeah...except that I breastfed my son for 2 years. I ate peanut products when I was pregnant. I also lived off of pb&j sandwiches when he was a newborn because it was quick and easy.
Guess who has a peanut allergy? 😒
i think schools with peanut bans are dumb.
I live in Canada where every school has them banned, i don't believe its fare because such few people are allergic.
Im in my 3rd year of high school and i still get told by people that im an ass for bringing it (Even though in high school its allowed) . I guess what im saying is that people should not ridicule the people bringing it, but the ones with the allergies should be more careful of their surroundings.
If I eat nuts or fish, or come into contact with someone who has them I will come in a rash and the thought that people should be allowed to bring a lethal weapon to school is absurd in my eyes at least
Yes that's a good statement but the problem is that its food. i hate to say it but its your fault. its not really you its your body, the fact that someone can die from someones food blows my mind. just goes to show how weak we are.
Josh Parker I don't think you know what lethal means. Nor weapon.
I think someone's safety comes before your wants. If it can kill someone so easily like peanuts can, than they shouldn't be allowed. I don't care if people who eat them say they will wash their hands, because we all know they won't. If my brother dies because some dumb ass was too ignorant to wash his hands...
***** then in that case we should ban all foods and anything someone could be allergic to. also do bans really work?
I've recently discovered I'm allergic to pecans, which is weird because I wasn't allergic before... I also discovered that adrenaline shots hurt like a bitch.
I've dropped a few allergies too. I used to be allergic to dogs, now I'm not. My peanut and cat allergies used to be worse too.
Moms should be exposed to every potential allergen while pregnant. Unless they are already allergic to that substance.
I wonder if intolerant is related to heartburn. I always hated the heartburn that oranges cause me. Now I am having trouble eating tomato paste products like spaghetti sauce without having heartburn.
Oranges and tomatoes are acidic that's why they can cause heartburn.
bkdarkness that makes sense.
Γαστριτιδα
Imo gastritis
I would die eating a single peanut... Anyone else?
I would die eating a peanut, hazelnut, walnut, pecan, pistachio, cashew, brazil nut, macadamia nut, so ya.
Boo Boo I would die eating a grape 🍇
I would die eating any sort of nut or seeds (poppy, sesame)
Congratulations! I'm severely allergic to peanuts but its slowly getting lower so hoping it'll be gone soon :)
+Olivia Meyer can it actually go away?
I hate how schools and other things ban certain things like peanuts in the cafeteria. We should cater towards the strong, the healthy. Why cater the minority? They should try to keep up with the genetically superior. I may have worded this harshly but think about what I said. It is the best choice.
Typo Def lmfao
Andrew Siddall true in my school they have a peanut free section but even the people who are allergic don’t go they just avoid peanuts
That's like saying we should give homes to the healthy and strong, but leave the weak minorities out to freeze
Will Tighe Minorities aren't weak. Weak people are weak.
ILuvFortnite Schools set that up to protect itself legally in case a child has a reaction and the obnixious parents tried to sue the school.
That part about mothers prepping the fetus by eating peanuts is very interesting!!! In my country of origin there is this puffed peanut snack that's very popular almost of staple food status. Almost no one there is allergic to peanuts. hmm...
I'm not allergic to anything, but when I stopped drinking whole milk for a few years and tried to start back one day my body couldn't handle it, but I can still eat dairy, just not whole milk unless it has the lactose gene in it.
1st!!
You ain't first. ExpoiseControl is first. You beat yourself to it.
You know growing up in Asia. I scared earth quake, I scared flood. I never scared of peanut
I supposedly have a peanut allergy or my parents at least told me I do, but I occasionally eat peanut butter and I'm still breathing so not really sure if they made that up..
2:38 so glad some photographer did an "elegantly dressed pregnant woman eating peanut butter" stock photo shoot. This video would have been incomplete without it. :)
I do not have an Intolerance to tree nuts or pesnuts. I am severly allergic to tree nuts and peanuts. Have been in the hospital 6 times for having multiple anaphylatic shocks. It is horrific and I hate it with a passion...
I'd like to send my brother to his elementary school next year with the paper work saying that he's severely allergic to sugar. We'll see how much his school cares then.
People used to die when exposed to peanuts because we didn't have as much medication available to reverse anaphylaxis. We now have epipens with many people who have severe allergies, so it is only natural that we'd have more people who are allergic today than 30 years ago. People that were dying before are surviving.
I have it , and its so bad. When i eat a little bit of a peanut i dont have anything , unless night. I start to ich till blood. It wont stop until the morning.
You passed up a perfect opportunity to refer to the comment section as the "peanut gallery" >_>;
My nose bleeds about an hour or so after eating pomegranate seeds. would that be considered being allergic to them?
I'm not just allergic to peanuts. I'm also allergic to walnuts, cashews, hazel nuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, pistachios, pecans... probably all tree nuts, but I haven't accidentally had them all/been tested for them.
Trace's beard is so clean, i'm jealous.
