Would you be able to provide a link to a website in support of
the assertion that consuming a lot of peanut products during
pregnancy can cause miscarriages? I ask because I have never
come across this idea before. The only recent medical advice to
pregnant women I've seen regarding peanut products is that it
might result in peanut allergies in their children.


You jump to the wrong conclusion, Ann.

If eating peanuts causes miscarriages, which I doubt,
that does not mean it is because
an allergy is induced in the yet unborn.

Miscarriages have other causes than foetus allergy,
and if at all it is far more probable to be caused
by the mothers allergic reaction.
A fatal maternal anaphylactic shock during pregnancy w/could cause quite a
number of deaths in utero, but not so many stillbirths.

Secondly I would not trust "websites in support of" medical facts or
fictions.

We are straying too far OT, methinks, as we will never be able to prove
peanut consumption by my miscarrying greatgrandmother [3 in 23 children].

I doubt peanuts were even affordable in Northern Europe in her time.

"The nut gained Western popularity when it came to the United States from
Africa. It had become popular in Africa after being brought there from
Brazil by the Portuguese around 1800."

We are lifelessly straying too far OT!
