Introducing eggs to infants at six months of age was associated with an 18% reduction in egg allergies overall, according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics. Among children with eczema, the reduction was nearly 40%. The study analyzed data from about 7,200 one-year-old Australian infants, comparing those who received checkups from 2007–2011 (before guideline changes) to those from 2018–2019 (after updated guidelines).
Lead researcher Jennifer Koplin, associate professor of childhood allergy and epidemiology at the University of Queensland in Australia, said the findings provide “population-level evidence that updated infant feeding guidelines recommending earlier introduction of egg led to measurable reductions.” Eggs are a nutrient-dense food, providing choline and protein essential for infant growth, according to a NaturalNews.com article [2].
