Preventing peanut allergy through early consumption–ready for prime time?
Abstract
Kids can't take peanut butter to school. Some airlines no longer serve peanuts because of fear of anaphylaxis among passengers. These developments are just the tip of the iceberg as the prevalence of peanut allergy among children continues to increase worldwide, especially in westernized countries. In the United States alone, the prevalence has more than quadrupled in the past 13 years, growing from 0.4% in 1997 to 1.4% in 20081 to more than 2% in 2010.2 Peanut allergy has become the leading cause of anaphylaxis and death related to food allergy in the United States.3 In 2000, largely in response . . .

There is increasing evidence on the tolerance hypothesis in the etiology of food allergy, in which a clinical trial has shown that early consumption of peanuts can reduce the development of peanut allergy.
“Interestingly, there is increasing evidence on this tolerance hypothesis in the etiology of food allergy in which a clinical trial has shown that early consumption of peanuts can reduce the development of peanut allergy (138, 139).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
