The allergy part suffers also from throwing everything into one big pot-  one should not mix up initiation &#038; modulation phase of type I allergy.<br \/>\nDiet effects in pregnancy may also be a completely different story than newborn exposure (although I admit that there might be a higher rebound in children of deficient mothers).<br \/>\nEven worse, there are at least 4 more pro-allergic studies not mentioned in the review, giving therefore a biased view. IMHO the whole chapter on toxic effects is being irrelevant &#8211; as we are dealing with high LOCAL doses at the mucosal surfaces and not systemic effects.
