In the United States, the daughter of a blogger has a severe allergy to peanuts and has difficulty breathing when she comes into contact with it. As soon as the family set foot in China, the problem magically disappeared. Not only peanuts, but also milk and gluten, which are common allergies, have become harmless in China. What the hell is going on?
You are the parent of a toddler with a peanut allergy, and your child may be exposed to serious health risks every time they are exposed to peanuts. This is exactly what a blogger in the United States is really portraying.
In the United States, her daughter has difficulty breathing whenever she is near peanuts, and she must always be careful in her life. When the family recently traveled to China, they were surprised to find that their daughter had no adverse reactions when she ate peanuts in China.
The blogger excitedly shared the discovery on platform X (formerly Twitter). Her post quickly garnered attention, with many people starting discussions around the topic.
Food allergies are a common problem in the United States, with more and more people finding themselves allergic to milk, gluten, and even more foods. Why did these foods, which would have caused a strong reaction, become "safe" in China?
There are quite a few American immigrants on the Internet who have shared similar experiences. They grew up in their home country and never had food allergies, but shortly after arriving in the United States, they suddenly developed an allergic reaction to certain foods. What's the secret?
Some netizens suggested that it may be due to the different ways of handling food. In China, peanuts are usually eaten boiled or fried, while in the United States, peanuts are mostly eaten dry-roasted or made into peanut butter.
The difference in cooking methods may have changed the nature of some of the allergens in peanuts, and they are no longer so susceptible to allergic reactions when eaten in China.
Some netizens speculated that this may be related to the use of agricultural chemicals in the United States and China. Genetically modified technologies and various chemical additives are used in food production in the United States, all of which can affect food allergies.
Although China also uses modern agricultural technology, it may differ from the United States in some aspects, such as the selection of crop varieties and the use of pesticides.
The blogger's experience resonated and discussed. She mentioned in the post that not only her daughter, but she herself also feels unwell after eating a lot in the United States, but in China there is no such problem at all.
It made her wonder if food in the United States had become more susceptible to allergic reactions because it had been overly industrialized.
This is not limited to the allergy itself, it also touches on food safety and health issues. The relationship between the development direction of the modern food industry and health, and how to protect the food safety of consumers.
