Eating Fish May Reduce Allergy Risk

According to The Local, a new Swedish study shows that eating fish reduces the risk of developing allergies.

Researchers found that children who eat fish more than once a week are less likely to have allergies.

Earlier studies have suggested that eating fish may be a risk factor in developing allergies, but this study suggests otherwise.

"Fish is good food. There is nothing that we need to be worried about when it comes to allergies," says Inger Kull, a Stockholm nurse who took part in the study. "We don’t have specific information on what kind of fish the children ate. The hypothesis is that fatty fishes are most beneficial."
