If everyone avoided them there would be no reason to make them.

A lot of people would agree with you.

there will be enough left overs that can last him ages.

You are the f***ing man!

Especially cheese 🧀

hahaha! xD

I refuse to comment directly on the foolishness of those without clinical diagnoses but as for those with actual gluten intollerance... isnt that one less of an allergy and more of a gut bacteria deficiency?

It's not currently certain whether it's an intolerance or a sensitivity. There is science on both sides, but none of it is very good science.

Not if you're Celiac

The big food industries should stop advertising Gluten-Free product just like they aren't advertising lactose free when selling watermelon.

The population that is celiac is way too small for a social ban on gluten. Instead, why would anyone drink milk? We don't need it, it's very caloric, most of us are lactose intolerant, they cost more than water, etc.

Heck I thought they avoided shellfish because they are so easy to cook wrongly and you don't want to fall even more ill than you already are while pregnant.

MOst of the time I'd say it is for this reason, but some mothers also do it for allergies

It might also carry parasites and nasty bacteria. Oh, and when a woman is pregnant, her immune system is slightly compromised so that it wouldn't attack the featus.

Here bro L 🫴

If they force it on young children, they might get allergies.

I believe there are already signs of this occurring in people/kids that have been off gluten for a while and then eat something with gluten

it very well could, my mother stopped eating gluten because avoiding it helps with a diseases she has (and it did help her) but when she tried gluten again after avoiding it for so long it makes her wayyyy sicker then it appeared to before but it could also have something to do with the autoimmune disease she already had.

These things are not an issue in my country in the Caribbean

Nothing like a litre of third world open tap water. I can eat about anything. Have had one case of stomach upset in 13 years and I eat everything from street food to junk.

Well to be fair, vaccines and allergies actually work pretty differently. But yes, sometimes with repeated exposures to small amounts of allergens, certain allergies can be reduced (ex. with allergy shots).

Similar to allergy shots, people with allergies to local pollen are encouraged to eat locally made honey.

Similarly with venom. (In small doses, of course)

FWIW I've never met anyone with a peanut allergy either. From MD.

I'm Hungarian as well (living in Canada) and it's true, I cannot name 1 person from back home that I know that has any type of allergy or sensitivity to any food. No lactose intolerance, peanut allergies, celiac disease, etc. I truly believe that the environment has a huge part to play, and the way we grow our foods, the soil, what we use etc.

I'm from the US. yes, there are quite a few people here with peanut allergies, and I surmise it's directly connected to our mysophobic culture. The message in this video is something I've been saying for years, but people here tend to believe things based on "better safe than sorry." It's pretty sad, honestly.

+neketaaa Hi I'm from the UK and I also haven't met anyone who has a peanut allergy, however genes have a large involvement in some of the disorders you've mentioned. Cieliac for example is mainly genetic, with Sweden having the largest number of Celiac per a 1000 people due primarily with it's traditionally small gene pool mainly consisting of Viking blood, the further south of Europe (the continent with the largest number of Celiacs) you go the more uncommon it is due to large Muslim invasions in Spain, France and Italy before the first crusades. Lactose intolerance is also thought to be mainly genetic and sometimes a injury or disease can cause it, in the UK for example we have the highest percentage of the population who can drink milk, with 97%, compared with that of China who have only around 30%. Allergies can also have a genetic link, people who parents have allergies tend to be more likely to have allergies themselves or on rare occasions it can be caused by someone consuming something while at the same time something different such as a virus causes the danger receptors to go off, myself for example became allergic to kiwi fruit at around the age of 16, they think this was caused by a simple cold virus going into my system at the exact time as I was eating a kiwi due to the fact that I used to eat a lot of kiwi fruit as well as a being a second child who rather enjoyed mud a little too much, meaning the hygiene hypothesis is an unlikely factor.

rates vary country to country. this video explains one reason why, different recommendations in different countries. there's also different foods, different genetics, etc. that being said, I'm from Texas and I haven't met a single person who has never experienced allergies and I can't count how many people I know who have some level of food allergy, including myself. then again, I live in a big-ish city with a history of terrible allergy seasons and bad pollution. and allergies seem to run in my family.

exact same w cat allergy

Here guys L L 🫴🫴

Dude you have a 7-8 year old little homie now 🥹. Hope it’s been a beautiful ride and you’re family is flourishing.

thats the idea yes. The interesting thing to me is whether or not we can reverse an allergy through minute exposure or something like that. There seems to be a large number of anecdotes from people who take in animals they are allergic to, gradually seeming to lose the allergy although that very well could be stockholm syndrome.

There's actually allergy treatment going on where they introduce small amounts of the allergen to the individual over a period of time, increasing the quantity each time; however it is expensive due to being performed in a hospital setting as well as only a small quantity of people can actually do it ( you don't want someone, who if they in the same room as the antigen needs an adrenaline shot because this treatment can put their lives at risk)

Yeah unfortunately

Rebecca Woodhouse I hope my allergy isn't too severe for it to go away. I used to be allergic to cats, but after living for years with two (sometimes three) very affectionate cats, it went away... but now I'm allergic to dogs?

I agree! I think exposing children to as many environments as possible will help lower the risk of them having allergies. Like the video states, when children are brought up in a more sterile environment, their immune systems develop differently. I don't think parents should hold their kids back from foods and the outside. I think parents should expose their children to many places and foods to help them develop a stronger immune system. My family and I have no food allergies but I have recently become lactose intolerant. So although I have been healthy all of my life and allergy free, I still believe allergies will occur and it is beyond humans control. Exposing children to many foods and environments will only lower the risk of them getting allergies.

When considering a course of action such as you describe, you must first consider how this will have an effect of the mass number of individuals. A Utilitarian would look at this as how it will have an impact of the majority of people. Exposing young children with weaker immune systems to allergens and dirt in their mouths could result in them being exposed to harmful bacteria and allergens that could make them incredibly sick. If this type of situation results in a negative outcome for a majority of the candidates, then a Utilitarian would consider it to not be a good idea. However, the inverse is also true. If exposing children to more dirt and dust proved to benefit the majority, then a Utilitarian would consider it a good idea. A deontological thinker might look at this type of situation as a mother or father having a duty to do what is best for their child. In that case, whatever the parent thought to be the best course of action would also be the best option based on Deontology.

It’s hella scary isn’t it? I went into anaphylactic shock when I was 5. Me and u r very lucky to be alive

I had an anaphylactic reaction when I was 7 and now im super paranoid about everything I eat

I’m not sure how old I was, but I’m pretty sure I was around 2-3 years old when I was at my grandma’s house, and my mom had bought some peanuts. Not knowing I was allergic to them, I had some because I rlly liked them, and 1-3 hours later, my face looked like a truck had ran over it. Luckily I don’t remember it as this story was told by my mom

There's many good reasons to use click bait titles. Number two will shock you.

STRONGLY AGREE

Frankly, as a Canadian, I had not heard of it either. It seems logical that introducing foods early would lead to a reduced chance of the body rejecting them. However, I don't have kids myself, so perhaps this is mostly something taught to pregnant women.

Same in Germany

You have to remember that us 'Mericans are the ones who thought vaccines gave you autism and still think gluten is the devil. We're pretty stupid when it comes to these things.

SilentS Wasn't the "vaccines cause autism" thing from a British researcher?

Dr. Wakefield is British, but I don't recall any British actresses campaigning on his behalf or any measles outbreaks in the UK.

Here is one for your kids to share L 🫴

Yes so am i

I have nothing to back this up other than conjecture but in general there were a lot of misattributed deaths and hospitalizations in the past. This combined with the ever increasing standard of health and decreasing exposure would theoretically lead to increased immune reaction. if you are unfamiliar with the 'hygiene hypothesis' I recommend looking into it because it is both fascinating to think about and likely will answer your question.

+Michael Goelz I also think that over prescription of antibiotics in babies and young child contributes to these types of immune responses. The human microbiome is so important to overall health that every effort should be made to protect it, rather than unnecessarily damaging it.

IIRC it's kids showing eczema and egg allergy, or possibly through blood testing.

Im allergic to all kind of nuts.you can get an allergic reaction just by touching it or even breathing it so no it cant stop it

If their parents have allergies or if they have eczema.

Some heroes don't wear capes

If they are 0-5 (the age range in the video) then yes all major dietary changes should ideally be discussed with an appropriately qualified trained medical professional. However, as children of these ages have regular check-ups anyway and diets are normally discussed at these check-up, it kinda already happens.

Yeah, the "health care professionals" do NOT give good advice. They are most likely to be the ones telling you to avoid peanuts if your kid might develop an allergy and, if you point out reasearch like this, they just say, "Oh, that's nonsence. You should believe me. No peanuts!" ...Then, a few years later... "Oh, your kid has a deathly allergy to peanuts, but it's genetic and unavoidable. Here, let me sell you some epipens." Yeah, trust your doctor. They typically have their own pocketbooks in mind,, and who would really think that their doctor's pocketbook is less important than their child's health?

Quagthistle Well being from the UK I don't have to deal with for profit healthcare luckily. Still even in for profit private systems the vast majority of doctors want to try to ensure you and your family are well and healthy (whether big pharma always does is another matter). However, doctors are a conservative bunch and have gone through a heck of a lot of training to get to where they are so they are not always open to the idea patients might be more up to date. Good communication and mutual respect is very important and you feel free to change practises in order to find one that fits you.

I think he pretty much HAS to include that, or else he could suffer some serious repercussions.

For people (like myself) who already have an allergy, each exposure makes the next one worse. I happen to be allergic to peanuts. Over time, as I've had more and more reactions, my reactions have gotten worse. Some symptoms have appeared over time, while others have gotten more severe. The idea with avoiding allergens as a kid is that, if the kid has the sensitivity to it already, each exposure will make it worse. Allergic reactions with children and toddlers can also be more dangerous because of their young age.

that's a myth each exposure does not have to make the next reaction worse. really depends on situation and the person. It doesn't mean that it is set in stone that the next time you are exposed it *will* make the next reaction worse . btw how do you know you had more serious reactions? Stop eating peanuts dude. I sympathize with you i happen to also be allergic to peanuts but not quite as life threatening symptoms the worse allergic reaction i ever had was just a sever rash .

ongchangco jarrod It might be a myth (and upon checking, it seems it is), but myths have a basis in fact. There's a lot of stuff about allergies that we know now that we didn't know 15, 20 years ago when childhood food allergies really started to become more common. My reactions have always been life threatening. I go into full anaphylaxis. Luckily, I've only had to go to the hospital twice. However, my reactions now are faster and more intense. I now vomit, whereas, when I was a child, I did not.

Adnan Ilyas fair enough. damn that's crazy man take care dude.

Ha same

What does it have to do with the advice?
