Dear MEL Topic Readers,

There’s new advice to prevent food allergies in children

Food allergy is an abnormal response to a food triggered by the immune system. Symptoms of food allergy could be vomiting, itching or swelling in the month, hives on skin, diarrhea, tightening of the throat, trouble to breathe and drop in blood pressure. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, culprit foods for young children are peanuts, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, wheat, soy and tree nuts.

It was recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2000 that food allergy development could be avoided by postponing the introduction of culprit foods until children become one year old or later depending on the food. However, the academy recently has reversed the guidance recommending early introduction and routine feeding of culprit foods. They now think that making a habit of eating more diverse foods help children develop the immune system, not allergies.

Only within two decades, very different recommendations were made by the same academy. Which guideline should parents follow?

Enjoy reading and think about how AI could help develop new guidelines for food allergies.
