> In the US giving any form of peanuts to babies is attempted murder, in Israel peanut puffs (Bamba) are among the first foods offered.

This is not the case, peanut puffs are a common early solid food in the US. Before that there are allergen mixes you can add to milk/formula.

All the recommendations I saw when my kid was born said early exposure to allergens is good to reduce chances of allergic reactions.

Many of these are due to cultural contexts. For example, I would trust sushi from 7-11 in Japan over most grocery store sushi in the US.

> Western sources suggest that eating sushi while pregnant is little short of stabbing yourself in the abdomen with a sharp knife, Japanese sources explicitly recommend sushi as a light and healthy meal
