Avocado consumption during pregnancy linked to lower child food allergy risk: prospective KuBiCo study
Maternal exposures, such as nutrition during pregnancy, can affect offspring health outcomes. Consuming certain nutrients, which are found in avocados, during pregnancy have been associated with lower allergic health outcomes in children. Avocado consumption during pregnancy is found to be associated with lower odds of infant food allergies at 12 months, even when accounting for potential covariates.
