    The article is paywalled but the gist is in the tagline: people kept peanuts but babies for fear of allergies but lack of exposure leads to allergies.

    I’ve been casually following this for awhile so here’s some further insight: peanut allergies were on the rise worldwide except in one place…Israel.

    Have you ever seen those “puffs” baby snacks? They’re like Cheeto Puffs but made for babies. Easier to eat with a weaker flavor. They’re popular across the world but there’s a brand with a peanut variety that sells particularly well in Israeli.

    After realizing the connection, they started studying it. I am assuming this article is the conclusion of that study.
