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
