Using data from over 120,000 U.S. children, this Pediatrics study found that the prevalence and risk of peanut and other IgE-mediated food allergies declined significantly after the 2015 and 2017 guidelines promoting early allergen introduction.

Study that upended medical practice by recommending feeding babies peanut products early to prevent allergies has had a big effect in the real world.

Peanut allergies in children under 3 have dropped by more than a quarter since 2015 when experts began recommending early peanut introduction, a new study finds.

A decade ago, research said giving young children peanut products can prevent allergies. A new study says that, 10 years later, tens of thousands of U.S. children have avoided allergies as a result.

Encouraging parents to introduce peanuts to their infants early has led to a significant drop in new allergy diagnoses, researchers said in a new study.

Peanuts represent one of the most common causes of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated, or anaphylactic, food allergies in children, yet a study found that early introduction of peanut to infants may lower their risk of developing this allergy.

Believe it or not, you actually can eat peanuts in their shells. However, there is a catch -- and it's one that is extremely important to consider.
