Eating Peanuts During Pregnancy Won't Lead To Nut Allergies In Children: Study

Expectant moms, go nuts-- for nuts, that is. A new study shows that snacking on peanuts and tree nuts during pregnancy won't lead to nut allergies in your child later on. In fact, it might actually be the contrary. A team led by physicians from Boston Children's Hospital found that the child of a mother snacking on nuts is much less likely to develop a nut allergy. Their report is published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics.
