In today's episode we're looking at a major shift in medical advice: the peanut allergies U-turn. Between 1997 and 2016, peanut allergy rates exploded by 400%.
We delve into the Dual Exposure Hypothesis, explaining why skin exposure can trigger allergies while early eating builds tolerance.
We also discuss the LEAP study, which proved that early peanut introduction reduces allergy risk by 86%.
By 2021, official guidelines completely reversed, now recommending peanut introduction for all babies between 4 and 6 months old to help end this epidemic.
