Lack of exposure.
For instance, for decades parents in mostly English speaking countries were told to not give their children nuts because they’ll choke to death and die.
Studies since have shown that children of parents who ignored that “advice” rarely have nut allergies whereas the children of parents who followed it have a much greater incidence of nut allergies.
As for gluten intolerances………….. most of that is a fad. People read mummy blogs on the internet and follow whatever dumb advice they give.
