New research presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology linked an increased risk of your child developing allergies if they were born via cesarean section. Studies also presented showing how mom eats while pregnant and what she feeds her child during infancy have an impact on the risk of the child developing allergies. The first study looked at the medical charts of 158,422 children and identified children with 0,1,2,3, or 4 allergic conditions identified as food allergies, eczema, asthma, and hay fever. Then the method of delivery was compared with the number of allergies recorded. The results showed that vaginal delivery was associated with a reduced rate of allergies as well as exclusive and supplemental breastfeeding. The second study looked at 1315 women and recorded their diet during pregnancy. The study found mothers with 'poor dietary diversity' along with a maternal history of allergic disease were more likely to develop eczema or food allergy. Thirty-three percent of the children of those same mothers were likely to become diagnosed with food allergies or eczema by age two. This Is What We Covered

Meat is bad for you; the world is going to collapse in 11 years, LDL cholesterol is harmful; chiropractic can cure XYZ, etc. How do you know if any of the above statements are true, or if they are outright lies? The answer should be reason and the scientific method, unfortunately, in today's modern culture, the answer is the public consensus. You've heard the statement "a million Frenchmen can't be wrong" well, yes, they can be. Just because a million people are saying something or think a certain thing doesn't make it right or true. More importantly, how did our culture degrade to such a low level of thinking, judgment and deliberation? Life By Design is not a political podcast, and the purpose will not be to dissect the above arguments in detail - even though the ones related to health we discuss frequently. We are hoping, by applying the correct methods to reality, you will reach logical conclusions on your own. The purpose of this particular podcast is to give you the tools to think for yourself — something our modern educational system has done an excellent job of eliminating or dare we say destroying on purpose. The central issue is independent thought and how to apply your own mind to the world in order to find the truth. If you want to get fancy about it, it's the branch of philosophy called epistemology.
