Fruits and vegetables are the new peanuts!?

Apart from the usual crop of "fruits and veggies are good for you" stories we find everyday on the Web, the BBC has an article about the rapid rise in allergies related to fruits and veggies. "Fruits and veggies are the new peanuts" says one source in this story. I think this article is the first one I can recall about this issue. Here is the link to the story "Concern over rise in allergies." From the story:

Dr Ewan, who sees more than 8,000 people with allergies a year, said most patients with reactions to fruit and vegetables were youngsters.
Symptoms include swelling in the mouth and throat, and breathing difficulties.
She said: "We have seen a big rise in the number of cases in the past four to five years.
"It is a bit like the peanut allergy was the epidemic of the 1990s. I think fruit and vegetables are becoming the epidemic now.
"In term of numbers, fruit and vegetables are the new form of peanut allergy."
Dr Ewan urges parents to take the problem seriously.
"We think fruit and vegetables are healthy, which they mostly are, but you can be allergic to them."

TK: Is this MOOAMH - mountain out of a molehill - are something more serious on the horizon? I would tend to think doctors are getting better at understanding allergies but of course there is nothing here that suggests allergies to f/v are pandemic. In fact, the stat in the story shows that cases of "oral allergy syndrome" are counted 5 in every 100,000 people. Back to the sheaf of stories that f/v are good for you....
