Researchers Tout Possible Breakthrough on Curing Peanut Allergies

A new study out of Australia is being touted as a possible breakthrough in treating peanut allergies in children.

More than 80 percent of the children who received the probiotic developed a tolerance to peanut products, compared to just four percent of the placebo recipients.
