Comments on: Why Has There Been an Increase in Food Allergies? https://www.bestfoodfacts.org/whyincreaseinfoodallergies/ Tue, 03 Jan 2017 12:40:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.2 By: ClaudiaM https://www.bestfoodfacts.org/whyincreaseinfoodallergies/#comment-157 Tue, 03 Jan 2017 12:40:00 +0000 http://localhost:32798/whyincreaseinfoodallergies/#comment-157 my own 2 cents: severe stress triggers mast cell activation which leads to a lot of problems, food allergies included. then you add antibiotics and antiinflammatory medications which is like pouring gasoline over fire. hence you now have mast cell activation/histamine intolerance.
this will in one way or another influence the genes passed on to future generations (watch BBC’s documentary The Ghost in Your Genes). most likely, those genes will allow for a very rapid increase in allergies in children.
