No peanut allergies in Israel – Nope, they’ve got sesame allergies!
OK, found an article on line that says that Israel doesn’t have a peanut allergy problem. They also vaccinate their children. So why no peanut allergies in Israel? I investigated….

Jewish children in London are significantly more likely than those in Israel to develop a peanut allergy, even though they are introduced to peanut products at a later age, which suggests that current prevention guidelines may need to be revised, according to a study published Oct. 30.

The questionnaires revealed that early peanut consumption was more common in Israel. At 9 months of age, 69 percent of Israeli babies had started eating some form of peanuts, whereas only 10 percent of children in Britain had. There was little difference in the age of introduction of the other foods.

My conclusion about peanut allergies and Israel. Israel doesn’t have the peanut allergy problem because they manufacture their own vaccines. The country is a major grower of sesame and export sesame oil. Sesame is a major food allergy in Israel. I submit that in Israel they use sesame oil as a carrier in the vaccines that they produce.

I hate to burst your bubble – Israeli kids do not get locally made vaccines but ones made for the European market. And while sesame allergy runs a distant third after milk and soy allergies, it’s nowhere near common. In fact, the only person I know with this allergy is my niece…in the US.

According to the website above: “Food allergy is a matter of geography after all: sesame as a major cause of severe IgE-mediated food allergic reactions among infants and young children in Israel.”
But it doesn’t disprove my theory even if they don’t get sesame allergies. There are many different oils used in the adjuvants.

Had some time to look into Estherar’s comments more fully. Soy oil and powdered milk are also used to manufacture vaccines. They could even mix the oils. And I checked out the European market. Sesame allergy is becoming a major problem there. So rather than burst my bubble, you added more information to support my theory. Thanks!
