  I wouldn't trust USAtoday nor any source that isn't the actual published research[1]. "CONCLUSION: In this cohort of infants with likely milk or egg allergy, maternal ingestion of peanut during pregnancy was strongly associated with a high level of peanut sensitization."[1] [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21035177 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21035177

    Note this part: > In this cohort of infants with likely milk or egg allergy Even accurate conclusions for such a cohort might be very different -- including even inverted in direction of effect -- from what is true of the broader population.
