I remember reading about one study that investigated the relationship between c-sections and allergies. They found that childeren born by C-section were 5 times more likely to have allergies than children born naturally. So perhaps whatever babies pick up coming down the birth canal, must be vital to helping us deal with the environment we live in.
More than likely it's a combination of many factors.

Peanuts are legumes so that is to be expected as it is nothing new when it comes to soil fixing . Been used for millennia that way.
Less mothers are breastfeeding during the colostrum stage so that is more likely than the birth canal notion... never heard about babies picking up anything from the birth canal besides vd. The link to c sections probably is a result of "planned deliveries" which occur with typically working mothers that want to get back to work asap and don't give enough time to breastfeeding while the colostrum is in her milk. But that is just my guess.
