New Possible Cause for Peanut, Egg and Other Allergies

Parents, doctors and pharmaceutical companies are always asking, "What causes food allergies".  Now there may just be one more possibility.  There is a strong link between children with low vitamin D levels and food allergies.  At this point, the link is not being called a cause but there is certainly room for suggestion that it may play a role in food allergies. 

While the benefits of Vitamin D are still being discovered, one thing is clear, it certainly couldn't hurt to have your levels of vitamin D checked if you suffer from allergies. If you have low levels of vitamin D in the blood, your doctor can recommend a vitamin regimen that fits your specific needs.
