The impact of reversing peanut allergy advice
Manage episode 515443541 series 2462950
A change in guidance has prevented tens of thousands of children from developing an allergy to peanuts.
Until about 10 years ago, parents were advised to delay the introduction of peanuts until about three years of age.
It's now understood that advice actually led to an increase in allergies.
Also, the shingles vaccine could lower the risk of heart attacks and stroke, adding to benefits that go well beyond protection from the virus itself.
