AAAAI: Early peanut consumption brings lasting protection from allergy


 

EXPERT ANALYSIS FROM THE 2016 AAAAI ANNUAL MEETING

References

The EAT results suggest that an effective preventive dose of peanut in infants at least 3 months of age is roughly 2 g of peanut protein per week, equivalent to just under 2 tsp of peanut butter, according to Dr. Lack.

Simultaneously with presentation of the LEAP-On and EAT trials in Los Angeles, the studies were published online at NEJM.org (doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1514210 for LEAP-ON and 10.1056/NEJMoa1514209 for EAT).

LEAP-On was supported primarily by NIAID. EAT was funded mainly by the UK Foods Standards Agency and the Medical Research Council. Dr. Lack reported receiving grants from those agencies as well as Food Allergy Research and Education.
