The latest dietary guidelines recommend that individuals limit alcohol consumption for better overall health, but they do not specify clear limits for daily intake. This marks a significant shift from previous recommendations that advised specific drink limits, raising concerns among health experts about the omission of risks associated with alcohol, such as cancer.
A recent study shows that peanut allergies among children have significantly decreased following new guidelines that encourage early introduction of peanut products to infants. The rates of food allergies in children under three dropped from 1.46% to 0.93% between 2017 and 2020, largely due to a 43% reduction in peanut allergies. Experts believe this change in dietary recommendations has positively impacted children's health.
