> For example East Asians have an extremely low rate of peanut allergies, but East Asians who grow up in western countries tend to have an equal or higher rate of peanut allergies compared to the general populace.

Interesting... my wife is East Asian and has no history of Peanut allergies in her family. Same for my family (Caucasian, US) yet our daughter is allergic.

My wife also ate a lot of peanut butter while pregnant...

Same here, no peanut allergies on both sides of our family but one of our daughters has a peanut allergy. We are the same mix.
