We were afraid of peanut allergies…. So we accidentally jacked up peanut allergies. It’s straight up hygiene hypothesis proven right.
A decade ago, research said giving young children peanut products can prevent allergies. A new study says that, 10 years later, tens of thousands of U.S. children have avoided allergies as a result. n.pr/4o3hKJO
