Potential Role of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pediatric Food Allergy
2021 Dec 29 Nutrients Sartorio MUA, Pendezza E, Coppola S, Paparo L, D’Auria E, Zuccotti GV, et al.
Recent evidence suggests an imbalance in the ω-3:ω-6 ratio due to increased intake of ω-6, especially in westernized diets. The critical age groups, such as infants, toddlers, young children, pregnant/lactating women, and fish-allergic patients, may have inadequate ω-3 intake. Preclinical studies with PUFAs supplementation show promising effects in suppressing allergic responses, but clinical study results are conflicting regarding timing, dosages, and the most likely beneficiaries. The review emphasizes the need for more data on the effects of ω-3 PUFAs supplementation in both the general and food-allergic populations.

Review Article Asthma Eczema Honey
This mini review explores honey's transition from a conventional food to a potential treatment for allergic diseases. Emphasis is placed on its diverse therapeutic properties, particularly its ability to alleviate pathological conditions and regulate inflammatory cell recruitment in cellular and animal models.
Scientific evidence and clinical studies suggest that honey holds potential in relieving allergic symptoms, offering a promising treatment or preventive approach for allergic diseases such as anaphylaxis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. The review provides valuable insights for considering honey in clinical settings for allergic disease management.

2020 The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice The Beneficial Effect of Farm Milk Consumption on Asthma, Allergies, and Infections: From Meta-Analysis of Evidence to Clinical Trial Brick T, Hettinga K, Kirchner B, Pfaffl MW, Ege MJ
Meta-Analysis Asthma Raw Milk
Whoever did the research carried out a comprehensive literature review, identifying twelve relevant publications from eight unique studies. Their approach involved a meta-analysis to substantiate the protective effect of raw milk consumption in early life, particularly for ages ranging from less than one year old to five years old. They further analyzed the impacts of raw milk on not only asthma but also other ailments such as wheezing, hay fever, allergic rhinitis, and atopic sensitization. Moreover, evidence was provided about the beneficial effects of raw milk for children, both living on the farms and those in rural sectors but not on farms.
Moreover, in the interpretation of results, it was clearly evident that the consumption of raw milk had an independent effect, separate from other farm exposures. In essence, even children not residing on farms theoretically can still gain from the benefits of raw milk consumption. However, they express a strong sense of caution, advocating against the consumption of raw milk due to the possibility of life-threatening infections. Furthermore, the distinction between raw farm milk and industrially processed milk was underlined to highlight differences in cellular components, fat fraction, and heating degrees. Preliminary findings link these characteristics and attributes of raw milk to heat-labile molecules and components found in its fat fraction.
The claimed health benefits of coix include anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, anti-inflammation, anti-allergy, enhancing immunological activity, regulating endocrine functions, anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, gastroprotection, hypolipidemia, and modulating gut microbiota.
2017 Trends in Food Science & Technology Coix: Chemical composition and health effects Fan Zhu
Review Article
Coix seeds contain a range of bioactive components including polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, polyphenols, phytosterols, carotenoids, spiroenone and lactams. The chemical constituents of coix contribute to a range of medical and nutritional benefits. These claimed health benefits include anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, anti-inflammation, anti-allergy, enhancing immunological activity, regulating endocrine functions, anti-obesity, anti-diabetes, gastroprotection, hypolipidemia, and modulating gut microbiota. The bioactivity of coix depends on the varieties as well as the sample preparation methods such as the solvent type. Coix seed is rich in starch and has similar processing properties of other cereals for food formulation. Coix can be further developed as a healthy grain for human consumption.
