We Were Told to Keep the Peanuts Away

A young mother named Katie stopped Teresa Nikas outside the paper with a question she could not answer. Katie kept peanuts away from her first child, exactly as the pediatrician instructed, and he has the allergy now. Her second child just got the opposite advice. A two thousand fifteen trial found early peanut feeding cut the allergy by more than eighty percent, the reverse of what parents were told for years. A study is one voice in a long argument, not the verdict at the end of it. The front porch is open.
