Association of food allergy in children with vitamin D insufficiency: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: Decreased maternal vitamin D levels and infant vitamin D insufficiency appear to increase the incidence of food allergies, particularly in the second year of life. To confirm this association, multicenter longitudinal studies are required.What is Known:• In newborns and young children, vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are prevalent.• The exact role of vitamin D in atopic diseases remains controversial.What is New:• Decreased maternal vitamin D levels and infant vitamin D insufficiency appear to increase the incidence of food allergies. This association is more evident in the second year of life.

Food industry experts said the requirements are so stringent that many manufacturers, especially bakers, find it simpler and less expensive to add sesame to a product—and to label it—than to try to keep it away from other foods or equipment with sesame.

PrEggNut Study: protocol for a randomised controlled trial investigating the effect of a maternal diet rich in eggs and peanuts from
Introduction Clinical studies supported by immunological data indicate early life intervention strategies to be promising in reducing the growing global burden of food allergies. The events that predispose to food allergy, including the induction of allergen-specific immune responses, appear to be initiated early in development. Early exposure to food allergens in utero and via breast milk is likely to be important in initiating oral tolerance. We aim to determine the effectiveness of higher maternal food allergen consumption during pregnancy and lactation on infant food allergy outcomes. Methods and analysis This is a mu...
