A Canadian study has determined that babies who consume peanuts, eggs, fish and other food allergens early and consistently, decrease the risk that they\u2019ll develop allergies to same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers analyzed more than 190 food allergy studies from around the world to identify the strongest risk factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their findings, published in Jama Pediatrics<\/a><\/em> determined that delaying the introduction of peanut-containing foods until babies were over 12 months old, doubled their likelihood of becoming allergic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babies who have other allergies\u2014asthma, wheezing or eczema\u2014in their first year of life, or who have an allergic parent or sibling, have a higher risk of developing a food allergy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
