Scientists find that bacteria in your mouth and gut may shape how severely you react to peanuts by altering allergens before they reach your immune system.
A quiet but powerful process begins the moment food touches your mouth. Long before your immune system reacts, bacteria in your saliva and gut may already be shaping what happens…
