I heard a report on NPR suggesting that exposure to small amounts of peanut butter/peanuts at an early age reduces the chances of allergies in later childhood.
The issue to me is that science is always developing and frequently wrongтАФcase in point is hormones for pre-menopausal women. We follow the science knowing that knowledge isnтАЩt static, and that too is terrifying for the RFK follower types.
Perhaps, and with immunology there are so many factors. I believe the hygiene hypothesis may also be a factor, but RFK is NOT the person to go to with anything health related.
You mean the excessive hygiene which won't let kids play in the dirt? But yeah, RFK Jr is the stopped clock that is occasionally correct, though hardly ever for the reasons he would state.
Choosy mothers were choosing Jif and the federal government was giving away ginormous containers of peanut butter as part of food aid (and price support for southern farmers). Oh, and Tinkerbell was selling Peter Pan to the masses. It took a while for scientists to figure out the cause of much childhood affliction.
What an ignorant jackass that man is. He never heard of a peanut allergy when he was a kid because PEOPLE WITH PEANUT ALLERGIES DIED! What a buffoon.
Peanut allergies is maybe the ONE area where RFK is onto somethign. There is actually a legitimate case to be made that fear of peanut allergies increased the incidence of peanut allergies. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/introducing-peanut-infancy-prevents-peanut-allergy-into-adolescence
