In this new study, researchers have discovered that children at a young age are less likely to have a peanut allergy if they eat an amount of peanut butter each day. Most children that have a peanut allergy can have a reaction that is caused by the slightest exposure. That reaction can be very serious. Before, doctors thought that maybe keeping young children away from peanuts might give them a better chance of not getting an allergy. That theory might be wrong.
To test this new theory, Gideon Lack, a pediatric allergist who works at King’s College London, used babies from ages 4-11 months old, all the babies had an increased chance of having a peanut allergy. He chose babies that had previously shown symptoms that are often related to peanut
