Further research and studies are now in development, including works on new treatments for allergic diseases.

The EAT Study
The Enquiring About Tolerance (EAT) Study investigates the potential of reducing allergic response through the early introduction of six allergenic foods into an infant’s diet: milk, peanut, sesame, fish, egg and wheat. The study has concentrated on infants from three months old who are breastfed. Results display a reduction in the number of children developing food allergies and other allergic diseases (such as eczema and asthma) by three years of age.
