How the medical profession made peanut allergies worse.

In a second clinical trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2015, [Dr. Gideon] Lack compared one group of infants who were exposed to peanut butter at 4-11 months of age to another group that had no peanut exposure. He found that early exposure resulted in an 86% reduction in peanut allergies by the time the child reached age 5 compared with children who followed the AAP recommendation [of no peanut exposure until children are three]. 

Fascinating look into how the medical profession ended up inadvertently creating a peanut allergy crisis with non-evidence-based advice.
