Eating Nuts to Prevent Nut Allergies? Nuts!!

I wanted to share with you an interesting study that came out very recently. It was published in the New England Journal of Medicine and it tested to see if exposing at-risk infants still in the womb to peanut protein would prevent children from further developing an allergy. The researchers found that it indeed did work for most participants. Babies who were very likely to later develop an allergy to peanuts, did not after being exposed to it very early!

Although I am not allergic to peanuts, I know many people who are and many future people who will be greatly impacted by the findings of this study. Everyone should be able to enjoy the deliciousness that is peanuts and peanut butter and all peanut products!!
