Timing of regular egg intake for prevention of egg allergy

We read with great interest the articles titled "Randomized placebo-controlled trial of hen's egg consumption for primary prevention in infants" by Bellach et al1 and "Randomized controlled trial of early regular egg intake to prevent egg allergy" by Palmer et al.2 Both the excellent studies investigated the efficacy of regular consumption of egg protein from age 4 to 6 months on the reduction of egg allergy. Both of them failed. According to the theory of infant immunotolerance induction, the failure of these studies might be caused by the timing of regular egg intake.
