Dr. Gary Soffer is an integrative pediatrician and allergist at Yale School of Medicine. He came to medicine from the music industry, and today his work centers on allergies, eczema and asthma.
We ask him about rising rates of food allergies in children. He explains how the guidance on introducing allergens has changed, from waiting until age two to starting at four to six months, and walks us through the research behind it, including the peanut snack Bamba in Israel.
