In the US, hospital visits for food allergy increased threefold from 1993 to 2006. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20201023-food-allergies-why-nut-dairy-and-food-allergy-are-rising
@AllisonKaye Perhaps, but kids raised on organic food get allergies too.
Not saying that isn't a primary reason -- and @bitranch is desperately allergic to olives, so this is personal to us -- but just because it makes sense to me doesn't mean it's true.
@AllisonKaye Yeah, I would have included that too.
@estherschindler @bitranch I have a daughter who is allergic to everything that grows. (Sadly not an exaggeration). I know the struggle. With the prevalence of pesticides herbicides all leaching into the water system along with air pollution it’s impossible to grow true “organic” food in a toxic world but sure vitamin D or our clean houses could still be to blame. It’s just strange they skipped over the poisons in our environment as a root cause of the explosion of food allergies in humans
