Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: the study did not show the efficiency of the early introduction of allergenic foods in the analysis for intention of treating, but analyzing only the cases that completed the protocol the prevention of the food allergy is a dependent dose.

Reviewers´ commentary: this study no significant limitations on the validity, although losses and lack of adherence to the protocol could influence an underestimation of the effect. The early introduction of potentially allergenic foods in breastfed infants without risk of allergy, does not seem to have a protective effect for the development of food allergy.
