Early Peanut Exposure Reduces Allergy Risk in Children, Study Finds

A new study published in NEJM Evidence suggests that introducing smooth peanut butter to infants as early as 4 months old and continuing until around age 5 can reduce the risk of developing a peanut allergy by 71% in adolescence. This approach, based on the principle of oral tolerance induction, has shown lasting protection against peanut allergies, even when peanut consumption is not consistent after age 5. The findings support early peanut introduction under pediatric guidance, especially for children at low risk for allergies.
