"Mohamed Ahmedna, an associate professor of food sciences at N.C. A&T, has found that using a certain food enzyme can deactivate peanut allergens, the chemicals that cause potentially fatal reactions in people who are allergic to peanuts."

That is AWESOME news. Fortunately, we have not had to experience a family member with this, but I have been around kids that are extremely allergic and can only imagine the relief to their parents if this allergy is eradicated.

If it works, I could see using it for my family, just to hopefully lessen the exposure for allergic kids that come over.
