Early peanut introduction reduces peanut allergy risk long-term

A follow-up of the LEAP trial found that early introduction of peanuts to high-risk children led to a 71% reduction in peanut allergy prevalence by age 12. Consuming peanuts from infancy to age 5 resulted in sustained tolerance. The study suggests that early peanut consumption can prevent peanut allergies, potentially benefiting millions of children. The trial involved 508 children, showing long-lasting tolerance and reduced allergy rates.
