“…A series of clinical and epidemiological studies [37-42] provided further evidence, although this may still not be the final answer. More recent unpublished work shows that there may be a complicated relationship between external supply, endogenous production, metabolism, signalling pathways, and the development of allergy.…”

The history of the allergy pandemic is well documented, enabling us to put the vitamin D hypothesis into its historical context. The purpose of this study is to compare the prevalence of rickets, vitamin D supply, and allergy prevalence at 50-year intervals by means of a retrospective analysis of the literature since 1880.English cities in 1880 were characterized by an extremely high rickets prevalence, the beginning of commercial cod liver oil production, and the near absence of any allergic diseases. By 1930 hay fever prevalence had risen to about 3% in English-speaking countries where cod liver oil was preferentially used for the treatment of rickets. In 1980 vitamin D was used nation-wide in all industrialized countries as supplement to industrial baby food, thus eradicating nearly all cases of rickets. At the same time the allergy prevalence reached an all-time high, affecting about 30% of the population.Time trends are therefore compatible with the vitamin D hypothesis although direct conclusions cannot be drawn. It is interesting, however, to note that there are at least two earlier research papers linking synthesized vitamin D intake and allergy (Reed 1930 and Selye 1962) published prior to the modern vitamin D hypothesis first proposed in 1999.

“…This remains to be established. One study of only 10 adults allergic to peanut failed to show any reactivity to peanut oils,13 but there are case reports suggesting infants were allergic to infant formula that contained peanut oil 14. The diet of children one to two generations ago was much simpler, and peanuts or nuts were used less and introduced much later.…”

“…A link between vitamin D supplements and allergy was suspected as early as 1930 long before the modern vitamin D hypothesis was developed [4]. The rather speculative assumption in the 1990s was consecutively confirmed by clinical [5] and epidemiological studies [6,7] and mechanisms further elucidated by experimental data [8]. Vitamin D supplementation is unlikely to be the sole cause of the allergy pandemic but at least fair scientific evidence suggests that there is a risk for inducing allergy in the newborn.…”
