  • The secret to lowering your baby's food allergy risk could be already in your kitchen.

The article from Newsweek discusses a study published in the journal Nutrients, which found that consuming avocados during pregnancy may reduce the risk of food allergies in infants. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Granada in Spain, analyzed data from over 2,800 mother-child pairs and discovered that children whose mothers ate avocados during pregnancy were less likely to develop food allergies by the age of one. The researchers suggest that the healthy fats and nutrients in avocados, such as vitamin E and folate, may contribute to the development of the baby's immune system, potentially lowering the risk of allergies. However, the study's authors emphasize that more research is needed to confirm these findings and establish a direct causal relationship between avocado consumption and reduced allergy risk.
