Summary: 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.

I'm replacing the original 8-factor scoring system with a new and improved one. It doesn't use the original factors and gives much better significance scores.
