Early Peanut Introduction Drastically Reduces Allergy Risk, Study Finds
TL;DR
A study by King’s College London found that feeding peanut butter to babies from infancy until age 5 can reduce the risk of developing peanut allergies by 71% up to age 13. This research, part of the LEAP-Trio study, suggests that early and regular peanut consumption can provide long-term protection against peanut allergies, even if peanut consumption is discontinued after age 5.
