How? Where did they go? What caused it to spike in the first place?
Evidence shows that early exposure to potential allergies reduces the likelihood of getting that allergy. Since we've know this doctors have recommended early exposure to allergens, instead of avoiding them. Now that we no longer avoid peanuts before adolescence, the allergy is receding.
I assume you meant infancy?
Changed, in to "before", iirc this impact persists a little past infancy, but yes not into the teens, I just was not thinking about my words.
The article is paywalled but the gist is in the tagline: people kept peanuts but babies for fear of allergies but lack of exposure leads to allergies.
I've been casually following this for awhile so here's some further insight: peanut allergies were on the rise worldwide except in one place...Israel.
Have you ever seen those "puffs" baby snacks? They're like Cheeto Puffs but made for babies. Easier to eat with a weaker flavor. They're popular across the world but there's a brand with a peanut variety that sells particularly well in Israeli.
After realizing the connection, they started studying it. I am assuming this article is the conclusion of that study.
