In A Reversal, Allergist Organization Says Allergenic Food Can Be Introduced Early To Prevent Later Allergies

Food Allergy Advise For Kids:  Don't Delay Peanuts, Eggs by Sumathi Reddy.  The Wall Street Journal.  March 4, 2013.

A real world illustration cited by the article:  Israeli parents often give children snacks with peanuts early, often before they were 6 months old.  Those children have far fewer food allergies than Jewish children in the United Kingdom, who received peanut snacks much later.  The recommendation to not delay introduction of potential allergenic food represents a complete reversal from the 2000 position of  the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology when the organization advocated delay.
