There are verified occurrences of gluten intolerance, squashed babies of drunk parents, and listeria contamination of raw fish. I agree that it’s not wise to let oneself be scared by incidents with low occurrence. But how is it unsubstantiated?
(In my family we do practice co-sleeping, but without any alcohol involved; and my wife never had sushi during pregnancy because listeria are rare but really bad for the fetus.)
- thematrixturtle 5y agoOf course celiac disease and listeria are actual things, but I think we'd agree that a general "gluten is bad for you" is unsubstantiated. It's also funny how sushi gets singled out, when the CDC (below) doesn't even mention it in its list of listeria high risk foods. When did you last hear about pregnant women avoiding hot dogs or melons? https://www.cdc.gov/listeria/prevention.html https://www.cdc.gov/listeria/prevention.html
