Claudia GrayGUEST
And I was actually in the LEAP study when I was specializing in the United Kingdom and It stands for Learning Early About Peanut.
Claudia GrayGUEST
And the whole notion came about by a very famous allergist called Gideon Lack, who noticed that the kids in Israel weren't following this trend of the peanut allergies.
Claudia GrayGUEST
And the difference was that they were fed these bamba snacks from a very young age containing peanut.
Claudia GrayGUEST
And he thought, well, these kids are exposed to peanut from a young age.
Adam FoxGUEST
They had a very large adult allergy service.
Adam FoxGUEST
And together with two longstanding close colleagues, Gideon Lack and George Dutoy, we set up a new paediatric allergy service, which is now, we think, the largest in Europe.
Adam FoxGUEST
We just keep saying it and nobody said otherwise.
Adam FoxGUEST
So I assume it is.
Peter LioGUEST
And we think that is actually a big part of the story.
Peter LioGUEST
And all this was described really and I think convincingly described with Gideon Lack's study, the LEAP study, where they looked at peanut allergy.

Peter LioGUEST
So we kind of came up with this, really, I give credit to Dr. Ruchi Gupta.
