LEAP of Faith: How Early Peanuts Changed Allergy Prevention

In this episode, we dive into the groundbreaking LEAP (Learning Early About Peanut Allergy) study, which transformed how we understand — and prevent — peanut allergy in children. We explore the science behind early peanut introduction, the study’s design and results, and what it means for parents, clinicians, and public health. Join us as we unpack the evidence, bust common myths, and discuss the future of allergy prevention.Sources:Du Toit, G., Roberts, G., Sayre, P.H., Bahnson, H.T., Radulovic, S., Santos, A.F., Brough, H.A., Phippard, D., Basting, M., Feeney, M., Turcanu, V., Sever, M.L., Lorenzo, M.G., Plaut, M. and Lack, G.
