Early-life sugar restriction was linked to a 2.5-year delay in cardiovascular disease onset, suggesting long-term benefits for heart health. | |  | | | | |  Can introducing peanuts early prevent allergies? Real-world data confirms it helps Using data from over 120,000 U.S. children, this Pediatrics study found that the prevalence and risk of peanut and other IgE-mediated food allergies declined significantly after the 2015 and 2017 guidelines promoting early allergen introduction. The findings support these policies as effective public health measures to prevent food allergies in real-world settings. | | | | | | |  Immediate skin-to-skin contact offers significant health advantages for infants Immediate skin-to-skin contact between newborns and their mothers offers a better start in life, improving a number of key health metrics, according to a newly updated Cochrane review. | | | | | | |  COVID-19 pandemic linked to diminishing public trust in childhood vaccines An international study led by the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine in the Galilee at Bar-Ilan University reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to a diminishing public trust in childhood vaccines, resulting in declining vaccination rates and a resurgence of preventable, life-threatening diseases such as measles. | |
