Feeding Babies Peanuts Reduces Allergy Risk, Study Confirms

Introducing peanut products to children from infancy until age five significantly reduces the risk of developing peanut allergies by early adolescence, according to a study. Regular consumption of peanut pastes or snacks from four to six months onwards can cut the risk by 71% at age 13, potentially preventing thousands of cases annually. Early exposure to peanuts offers long-term protection and easier treatment for those who still develop the allergy.
