Dietary patterns and food groups
Dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet, have not been associated with reduced AD or FA in offsprings. During pregnancy,145 no studies report on maternal dietary patterns in lactation and AD or FA outcomes in the infant. However, two systematic reviews tentatively conclude that fruit, vegetable, and yogurt intake in pregnancy may prevent offspring AD and that margarine and vegetable oil may increase the risk of AD.144,146Studies of the associations between intake of particular foods and infant FA are lacking146 Diet patterns in infancy have not been associated with infant AD. One study indicates that a diet pattern of predominantly home-cooked food may prevent FA. 147
