Although society doesn’t believe early peanut consumption will decrease allergy risks, there are many positive benefits of a child consuming this type of allergenic food throughout childhood. In the article, Rabin explains how peanut allergies generate more deaths than any other food allergy. Corresponding with that fact, when a child develops a peanut allergy, he or she will never outgrow this allergy and will have to live with it for forever. According to Dr. Matthew Greenhawt, chairman of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology’s food allergy committee, and one of the authors of the new guidelines,he explains that “It appears there is a window of time in which the body is more likely to tolerate a food than react to it, and if you can educate the body during that window, you’re at much lower likelihood of developing an allergy to that food” (qtd. in par. 6). From these statistics, Rabin proves that feeding a child peanut consumption at an early age will prevent life-threatening allergies.
