Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - From What Next | Is the Peanut Allergy Dead?

On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen are handing the show over to Slate’s news podcast, What Next. Thousands of children may be avoiding peanut allergies thanks to research indicating that early exposure to—rather than avoidance of—the legume is key. Now there’s reason to believe this is true for tons of allergens – and that the great “pandemic” of kid food allergies never needed to happen.Guest:  Dr. David Hill, attending physician with the Division of Allergy and Immunology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and The Hill Lab.Want more What Next?
