Today's
children are prone to various diseases, including the issue of 'allergies.' In
the field of medical science, research on allergies in children has been
ongoing for many years. A study conducted in the UK has proposed 'mung beans'
as a solution to this allergy problem. Many people believe that mung beans can
cause allergies; however, research from 10-15 years ago had suggested
restricting the use of mung beans to alleviate allergies.
However,
a new study now challenges this theory. In the recent research, experts were
surprised by the results when investigating the relationship between mung beans
and allergies in children. According to the study, the use of products made
from mung beans in early childhood reduces the risk of developing allergies.
Doctors in the UK are conducting extensive experiments in this regard, and the
results of these experiments are quite encouraging.
The
encouraging news is that, according to the recent research, the use of products
made from mung beans in early childhood significantly reduces the risk of
allergies. A large-scale study in the England Journal of Medicine involved the
examination of 550 children at risk of developing allergies due to mung beans.
The research indicates that if a child consumes mung bean-based snacks from
birth until the age of 11 months and discontinues this food at the age of five,
they are less likely to develop allergies.
Professor
Gideon, the head of this research, stated, "(The research) makes it clear
that most infants remain safe, and this protection is permanent." He
emphasized that there is also an issue where people live in a 'fearful
environment of food.' This is indeed true, as most parents remain skeptical
about giving different foods to their children. Consequently, when children
grow up, they become reluctant to try certain things due to their conditioned
nature.
Professor
Gideon expressed this in the following words, "In my opinion, the fear of
allergies from food is self-inflicted because food is removed from the diet, resulting
in the child not being able to develop tolerance." Researchers included
children from the 2015 study, where half were given mung bean snacks, and the
others were only breastfed. The researchers state that "the study reveals
that at the age of six, even after a 12-month hiatus, there was no increase in
numerical terms of allergies in those children who consumed mung beans in the
2015 experiment."
