i never said that peanut allergies and celiac disease weren't real. i am suspicious of the rise of these medical issues in children when they seemed rare before. i grew up living all over the country and internationally, so was around a large variety of people from different countries and cultures in the 70's/80's. i don't even recall hearing about peanut allergies until the late 90's. i think some of these conditions can be triggered/created in some people who don't have them by withholding certain foods in early life, and then being exposed to them at a later time. it happens in reverse, too---our bodies change every 7-10 years; i became allergic to milk (which i used to LOVE and drink gallons) at the age of 55. i recently received indication that walnuts and i no longer share the same loving relationship we used to. i'm a lil pissed about that.
