Peanut consumption may prevent allergy
A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine provides evidence that an early introduction of peanuts into the diets of infants will significantly reduce the risk of peanut allergy. More specifically, the study found that infants with a high risk of developing peanut allergy will be protected from having a peanut allergy at age five if they eat peanuts and peanut products frequently starting within the first 11 months of life.
