Have we got allergy risks all wrong?

A recent study has found that introducing peanut products to very young children, particularly those at high risk for allergies, can significantly decrease their risk of developing a peanut allergy.
This protective effect remains even after a year without regular peanut consumption.
The findings suggest that early exposure, starting before the age of five, is crucial for preventing peanut allergies later in life.

Did you know...that garlic improves artery function and reduces blood cholesterol?

Those who eat more than one clove of garlic a day seem to have better artery function than those who eat less than that. Heart disease patients were randomized to receive either garlic powder or placebo tablets twice daily for three months. Those lucky enough to be in the garlic group got a significant boost in their artery function: a 50 percent increase in function taking only 800 mg of garlic powder a day. That’s just a quarter-teaspoon of garlic powder. Dozens of studies on garlic, all compiled together, have found that garlic can also reduce cholesterol levels in the blood by more than 16 points.

Might garlic powder be able to slow the progression of atherosclerosis? Study participants took a garlic powder tablet or placebo for three months, and those in the placebo group got worse. Eat the same artery-clogging diet, and your arteries continue to clog. But, the progression of the disease appeared to slow and even stall in the garlic group. Of course, it would be nice to see the artery wall thickening actually get reversed, but, for that, we might have to add more plants than just garlic to our diet. Still, that same quarter-teaspoon of garlic may be considered as an adjunct treatment for atherosclerosis.

What about garlic for high blood pressure? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials demonstrated that garlic has “a statistically significant and clinically meaningful effect” on both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, reducing the top number by nearly seven and the bottom number by about five. That may not sound like a lot, but reducing diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) by five points can reduce the risk of stroke by about a third and heart disease by 25 percent.
