Peanut Oil Histamine Information

Peanut oil, a commonly used cooking oil, does not appear to have a direct impact on histamine levels or the ability to stimulate the release of histamine as some foods can. As per the lists provided, peanuts or peanut oil is not included among histamine-rich foods, foods that hinder breakdown of histamines or even histamine liberating foods. However, considering that peanut oil is a derivative of peanuts, it possesses allergenic properties. Various studies have shown that peanuts, along with other nuts, can trigger allergic reactions due to specific proteins they contain. In those allergic reactions, histamine is among the compounds that the body releases as part of its defense mechanism. In individuals who are not allergic to peanuts, peanut oil should not affect histamine levels directly. Nevertheless, it's important to note that processes like refinement can eliminate proteins causing allergic reactions from peanut oil. Unrefined peanut oil may still carry those allergenic proteins. It's also worth mentioning that individual responses to different foods can vary significantly, based on factors such as genetic predisposition and gut health. Therefore, the impact of specific foods or ingredients, including peanut oil, on histamine levels can be subject to variations across different individuals. References: 1. Ameratunga, R., et al.
