The possibilities and contradictions of primary prevention of food allergies in early childhood
https://doi.org/10.31146/1682-8658-ecg-233-1-99-106
Abstract
The review includes 61 sources, including modern and earlier domestic and foreign recommendations for feeding children in the first months of life, as well as large long-term observations and original studies concerning the timing of the introduction of potentially allergenic products, the use of mixtures based on cow’s milk protein hydrolysates, mixtures based on the milk of other animals and based on plant protein hydrolysates. The paradigm of the formation of food tolerance through the early introduction of allergenic products is considered, as well as new technologies for the creation of breast milk substitutes with a low risk of developing allergic pathology.
