Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the study by Krinshaw and colleagues in 2013 titled " Introduction of complementary foods and the relationship to food allergy", it was observed that the major dietary difference is that Israeli children get introduced to peanuts at approximately 7 months of age while the Jewish children are introduced to peanuts at an older age usually above 1 year of age.
