Too many children apparently have peanut allergies. I wonder why that is.

I'm not a scientist, but I like the soy theory. There wasn't soy in anything when I was a kid, and there were also no peanut allergies. There's soy in everything now, and the plants are related. Why kids would get sensitized to a relative of soy rather than soy itself points to an additional factor.

That's very interesting--I didn't know that.
