A mere 'taste' of peanut butter kills 13 y.o. girl

[midnight rambler]

She spit it out the moment she took the first bite -

well, at least she wasn't killed by police brutality.

I'm thinking the vax cocktails cause allergies, amongst other dis-eases.

Too many people live now who would have died before they could breed. I know that sounds cruel but until we're able to correct genetic malfunctions like this, we'll continue to have problems. Not everyone is meant to live.

There is probably a link between vaccination, fluoridated water, etc. and allergies.

Soft kill in action...
Peanut Allergies May Have Tripled Over The Last Decade If the population of one Minnesota county is any indication, rates of peanut allergies has been on the rise over the last decade, according to a new study. The new research, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (http://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749%2812%2901287-0/abstract), showed that rates of new peanut allergy cases in Olmsted County tripled between 1999 and 2007 -- from 2.05 cases out of 10,000 children, to 6.88 cases out of 10,000 children.

no epi-pen around? ...seems like she would've had one near all the time if she was that sensitive

I agree mostly with vaccines as that deals with the immune system. Fluoride doesn't invoke an immune response (at least from any of the documentation I've been able to find regarding it). I'd place more of the blame squarely with vaccines. My mother was allergic to bees as a young kid (any bee). But as an adult got stung a number of times with no reaction other than the local site. Only difference? She hasn't had a vaccine in over 30 years. Or maybe she grew out of it. I do remember her being rushed to the hospital as a kid when she stepped on a wasp. She ballooned up, puffy in the face and had trouble breathing. Same type of wasp 30 years later and notta. My dad even rushed her to the ER right after finding out. But nothing happened.

Until "WE'RE" able? Who the fuck constitutes "WE"? It appears "THEY" are working on the 'problem" already. Are you happy about that?
You're talking about eugenics, asshole. Are you gonna be happy when "they" correct your family's genetic malfunctions?

I wonder who came up with that santa claus costume... very jolly

[gunDriller]

i've never witnessed the response, but i am allergic to poison oak. it's amazing how little will cause an allergic reaction.

if the girl's reaction to peanut butter is anything like eating poison oak - that's got to be tough.


and where the F*$@ is my Netflix ?!

Why was she eating peanut butter if is she was so allergic to it? Yeah, okay, the rice crispy treat had it on there but you can easily smell peanut butter so what would make her even take the bite? Seems like a fail on parent and child's part. Sad story.

Actually, I'll be thrilled when they can correct the tendency for Type 2 diabetes and kidney cancer. I wouldn't mind if the male pattern baldness were corrected. Being able to remove cystic fibrosis from a dying child would be fine. Genetic therapies have their place.
There have been studies done on Arizonans with allergies. It seems their parents moved to Arizona to live in the desert to get away from the eastern plants that caused them hay fever. Now their kids have twice as many allergies.
Given the attitudes evinced on this site so far, I thought everyone but me was a fan of eugenics. I am not. I can also tell the difference between genetic therapy and convincing folks to abort there children because " They're just not like us."
Lastly, Santa, your attitude simply isn't as saintly as it used to be. Gift sack too heavy?

Maybe it was one of the prank shows gone wrong... a hidden-camera ambush show based on a series by Keshet Broadcasting and United Studios. In the series, unsuspecting members of the public are secretly dared to pull a prank on their unwitting companions with absolutely no time to prepare. "now dare your daughter to eat the rice crispy treat... hehehehee"

it was a "Psych" epidose/episode. i thought i put the outgoing one on my computer desk and now it is nowhere to be found.

i really have to clean this place up ! :)

I had my mother telling me that when she was pregnant with me the advice of the day was that pregnant mums should ensure they eat some peanuts during pregnancy to ensure their children were not hypersensitive to peanuts. I don't think this forms part of the advice to mothers to be. It's better that we ALL avoid peanuts and nuts in general. That would be better for everyone.

[Cebu_4_2]

Peanuts or Penis should not ever be avoided during pregnancy.

Nuttin wrong with nuts!

They're hard little chunks of joy...

I had to check my post to make sure I didn't type that there

There is a direct correlation between GMO foods and these food allergies that are still on the rise.

"the allergen found in GM soy is closely related to the allergen found in peanuts. Children are often inundated with GM soy starting before they are even born. Their immature digestive system starts to break down, which subsequently affects their immune system, and a peanut (or soy) allergy develops."



Can you believe that approximately 5.9 MILLION children in the US today have food allergies? That’s more than a 400% increase in the last 20 years! Unfortunately, the true underlying cause of this incredible increase remains a mystery within the medical community.
One theory connects the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into our food system to the dramatic increase of food allergies in our children. It all began in 1996, when genetically modified soy started to appear in our foods, which lead to a 50% increase in soy allergies after one year, and a doubling of peanut allergies over the next 6 years. Interesting, right?
But remember, just because two events are correlated it does not necessarily mean that one caused the other. That is why medical research studies like randomized control trials (the gold-standard in study design) are conducted. To prove causation.

let's prove it!

Unfortunately there are very few, if any, independent scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals linking GMOs to food allergies. Why is that? Because the seed companies that produce the GMO seeds along with the FDA have made it virtually impossible to independently verify that GMO crops are safe, or have no harmful side effects. (But that is a political discussion that we can tackle in another article!)
The types of studies that we really need are those that compare the prevalence of allergies in kids that eat a conventional, processed diet, to those that eat an organic, unprocessed, GMO-free diet. Or a study that analyzes the skin allergy response to GM soy verses non-GM soy. Perhaps a study about the long-term health outcomes of children whose mothers consumed a GMO-free diet during pregnancy vs. children whose mothers consumed a conventional diet would be helpful.
However none of those studies exist. Instead we are forced to look solely at the correlation between the two, and wonder what the true impact really is of GMOs on food allergies in children.

GMOs, Processed Foods, and Allergies

More than 75% of processed food on our grocery store shelves today contain at least one genetically modified ingredient. The top culprits are sugar beets (95% of sugar beets are GM), soy (94% is GM), canola (90% is GM) and corn (88% is GM). Lets take a closer look at soy, and see how it connects to food allergies.
Fact #1: After a soy plant has been genetically modified, it includes a soy allergen. This allergen is 41% identical to the same allergen found in the peanut plant.
Fact #2: By the age of three, the majority of US children have been exposed to a great deal of GM soy. They are exposed in utero through mom’s diet, through breast milk (again via mom’s diet), by drinking conventional soy formula, and through the plethora of kid-friendly processed food snacks that contain GM soy.
Fact #3: Our immune system is closely connected to our digestive tract. This is especially true in children. So what we eat can really impact our overall health and our body’s ability to fight off disease. Foods that contain harmful additives, pesticides, and GMOs will essentially break down the digestive tract and increase the likelihood of autoimmune disorders like allergies.
Fact #4: Children are 3-4 times more likely to develop a food allergy than an adult because of their immature digestive and immune systems.
So putting this all together, the allergen found in GM soy is closely related to the allergen found in peanuts. Children are often inundated with GM soy starting before they are even born. Their immature digestive system starts to break down, which subsequently affects their immune system, and a peanut (or soy) allergy develops.
Makes sense, doesn’t it? Unfortunately for 5.9 million children in the US with food allergies, we just can’t prove it.
