>not sure why this is news.
The babies being given the treatment are allergic to peanuts. This is the opposite approach to recommendations, including in Israel.
> israel has a lower peanut allergy per capita because the most popular snack there is bamba
Infant allergy rates are similar in Israel, however a specific dip in peanut allergies in Israel was a motivating factor for looking into this approach.
>any parent can do the same by offering more food variety to their children
This can kill an infant with a peanut allergy. The science on infant allergy is far ahead of randomly experimenting with your child.
