US EditionEating avocados during pregnancy reduces food allergy risk for babies
- Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland studied 2,272 mother-baby pairs and found that eating avocados during pregnancy lowers babies’ food allergy risk.
- The study followed infants to 12 months and adjusted for factors like delivery age, diet, smoking, and breastfeeding to isolate avocado’s impact on allergy risk.
- Babies born to mothers who ate fresh avocado during pregnancy were 44% less likely to develop food allergies by 12 months of age compared to those whose mothers did not include avocado in their diet.
- Dr. Sari Hantunen noted that while the research does not prove a direct cause-and-effect relationship, the results highlight the potential added benefits of consuming avocados for both mothers and their children’s health.
- While the research suggests benefits of maternal avocado intake, more studies are needed to confirm mechanisms and applicability to broader populations.
