Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is found in flour as well as lentils, peas, beans and other legumes. A lack of vitamin B1 can lead to potentially deadly consequences of thiamine deficiency.
The Australian researchers collected data from 639 pregnant women in their late pregnancy and analysed different food groups, whole foods and nutrients.
The results of the study Higher maternal bread and thiamine intakes are associated with increased infant allergic disease showed that infants were more likely to be diagnosed with food allergies or eczema if their mothers had eaten a lot of white bread or legumes during their pregnancy.
