04 Dec 2019 --- Early introduction to allergenic foods, such as eggs and peanuts, has been found to be effective in preventing the development of food allergies in specific groups of infants. This is according to new studies from King’s College London and St George’s, University of London, UK. The papers showed that allergies can be prevented despite low adherence to an introduction regime. The researchers note that the findings can help inform infant feeding policy decisions worldwide, to potentially prevent allergy development. However, they additionally highlight certain barriers to following the early introduction process.
