Peanut Allergies Are Getting a Little Nuts

The video discusses the rise of peanut allergies and the evolving guidelines on preventing them. Initially, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended avoiding certain foods to prevent allergies. However, studies showed no strong evidence supporting these guidelines. A recent study found that early exposure to peanuts in infants, even those with sensitivity, led to fewer allergies. The results suggest that current avoidance strategies may worsen the problem, prompting calls for new guidelines.
