Apples during pregnancy protects babies from asthma

According to a recent study in Thorax, researchers found that children of moms who ate more than four apples per week were 37 percent less likely to have a history of wheezing and 53 percent less likley to have doctor-confirmed asthma, compared to moms who ate one or no apples per week while pregnant.

The association is believed to an apple-specific effect, potentially from the flavanoid content.

Steve - we can tell you what the flavanoid is...quercetin. Besides apples, we have recommend ed Allergy Fighters and Quercetin + C supplements for years, both of which have quercetin as the main ingredient. Many of our clients have found it immeasurably helpful for allergic/asthmatic response.
