Re(2): SC - Re: sca-cooks nut allergies

[MS MARTHA L WALLENHORST]

Most true nuts that grow on trees rather than in the ground, have 
pectin in it.  I am deathly allergic to them, almonds, cashews, 
walnuts, pecans etc.  However, last week the AMA supposedly had a 
warning to preganent women not to eat peanuts or peanut butter in 
large quantities as a study showed that those children of women who 
ate large quantities while pregnant where more likely to have peanut 
and peanut butter allergies.  It is currently the highest allergy in 
small children in some portions of the US and all over England.

Peanuts are legumes, not true nuts.  Not that there couldn't be 
allergies to
them, but I think the reaction is more likely to be to the aphlatoxin 
rather
than the food.

Ditto here with walnuts.  I get the nastiest mouth ulcers (which is 
better
than anaphalactic shock, but still painful); sometimes pecans do it 
too.
