Heh...if nutrition alone had worked, I wouldn't have been as sick as I was. I had terrible childhood asthma, despite eating lots and lots of fruit, including lots of apples.

really, the article is a good helpful for controlling acne. i agree that there
are various products in the market which claim to treat the acne perfectly, but
all they claim are just fake, There are so many theories for acne removal.
There are contemporary and parallel theories also for acne removal. Mainly home
remedies or herbal remedies are indicated as parallel methods of acne removal.

Apples preventing asthma? I ate tons of apples as a kid and was in and out of the ER just about every week until I was 12. Call this a shot in the dark, but maybe the parents who eat healthier while conceiving/gestating/raising children are the ones who don't smoke.

It's a shame the commenters can't seem to read the article.

The article is about eating those foods during pregnancy to reduce health problems in children. It is NOT about children eating those foods to control existing problems.

Here's a good rule of thumb - pay attention to the information you're given (when reading or having a conversation) before responding. It will improve others perception of you by leaps and bounds.

Another point of interest regarding fish and pregnancy is the good mental development of babies who's mothers had diets high in low-mercury fish during the 2nd trimester.

#5 - Ease up on people.

If you 'really' want to know why people are developing allergies in general, turn off cell phones, computers, and the electricity coming into your house and watch your body suddenly heal. Manmade EMFs make your immune system behave abnormally, and in the case of food allergies at least, it makes you have allergic reactions to high iron and high copper foods - wheat, soy, egg, nuts, beans, seeds.

Don't believe me? Read 'Cross Currents'. Scientists know cell phones and the 60 hz frequency is unsafe, but too many businesses would suffer, so instead, people do.

This article is about what pregnant women can eat to try to prevent certain diseases in their unborn children. That's a great theory, but what mother does NOT try to eat and do the right things for her baby?

#5 - You read my mind. I was reading all the comments beforehand and thought to myself, "Uh... Did anyone read the article or just the title?"

This just confirms what I have believed for a long time, fish is one of nature's best health foods. Pregnant woman dig in! In addition, try using less "Lysol" like anti bacterial cleaners that make it hard for children to build simple immunities. It ends up creating obscure allergies in kids such as the deadly peanut allergies. Peace out. :)

I find it interesting how little is mentioned on psychosomatic causes of disease. It does not mean its just in your head. It means that the way you think causes the dis-ease.It also means that healing may be found not in apples or pears but forgiving and releasing anger and resentment. Think about it!

How appropriate that Robert's comment should be no.2. This jackass is nattering about Rosie. What has that got to do with the subject at hand? And why do the morons at AOL let that kind of crap stand while they "diligently" monitor people's profiles. They need to get their priorities straight.

And Robert? Do the world a favor and kill yourself.

hello-i think that robert is well on his way to being brain dead. gonna go eat an apple....

Eating (organic) apples and more fish seems like a good plan for pregnancy (and perhaps all round)but always check with your doctor first before making extreme changes in eating during pregnancy. You have to watch for over-eating fish (especially certain kinds) because of mercury levels and poor fishing practices. I highly suggest you check with the Seafood Watch program at Monterey Bay Aquarium before stepping up to your local fish counter.
