A small US trial has found that giving kids with peanut allergies a small amount of peanut butter - up to a tablespoon a day - can help reduce their peanut sensitivity. The 73 children, aged 4 to 14 years old, were allergic to peanuts but could tolerate more than 143 mg of peanut protein (just over half a peanut) at the start of the trial. The study found that slowly building up their peanut exposure using store-bought peanut butter, was effective in raising their ability to eat peanuts.
