Introducing babies to peanuts, eggs, fish, and other common allergens early and regularly can reduce their risk of developing allergies, a new Canadian study says.
Lead author Dr. Derek Chu says researchers reviewed more than 190 food allergy studies involving 2.8 million participants across 40 countries to pinpoint the key risk factors that contribute to the onset of food allergies.
