    I have no idea but I think it’s just because of the difference in the way modern mothers think compared to mothers in the 90s and stuff. Modern mothers do not just blindly take medicine and stuff when they are pregnant. Sometimes medicines can have weird effects on the immune system and allergies can be developed when the immune system associates harmless things with disease. This is a wild guess, but I bet many of these people had peanut allergies because their mothers were taking antihistamines or something in the 90s while they were pregnant. It used to be considered safe and often recommended for mother’s to take a wide variety of medicine, but our understanding of medicine has advanced quite a bit since then, and we now understand the body as a far more dynamic and self balancing thing, and we weigh the risks of using drugs to be high. In modern times doctors will shy away from prescribing drugs to pregnant mothers unless there is something dangerous or particularly needed.

          No the above poster is right. Your wild guess is a wild guess and not based on the science which you could have googled.

            You should know what the concept of science is before you go using the word like your sacrificial cow. Google is one of the most anti scientific institutions on earth. You should never believe anything you read from Google.

              It’s literally in the sub headline of the linked article

              Doctors have long recommended that infants avoid peanut products. But in 2017, experts officially reversed that guidance, and food allergies decreased sharply.

              I have no idea where you came up with what you posted.

              Google can directly lead you to the original sources and studies that have made these conclusions, dumb-dumb. They’re not saying to blindly listen to the AI overview, they’re saying to Google it and find the scientific studies that are publicly accessible instead of making wild guesses.
