The entire point was looking at very similar populations, but controlling for one variable (peanut product consumption in early childhood). While I agree that the studies should be expanded outward to ensure reproducibility and verify the hypothesis, a useful starting point is to look at two similar populations with only one variable.
- soperj 4y agoThat original study was made 8 or 9 years ago now, and they're following it up with an additional study of jewish kids in britain and israel here. If you look at the study, they're trying to determine why early exposure to peanut butter has not decreased the incidence of allergy in Australia. Somehow a study of Jewish kids in Israel & Britain is supposed to prove this out.
