According to a new study in America that has mapped children’s food allergies, children living in urban centres have a much higher prevalence of food allergies than those living in rural areas. The study included 38,465 children, and showed not only was the percentage of food allergies higher in urban areas, but also that peanut allergies were twice as prevalent and shellfish more than double. The big question is – what in the environment is triggering this?
