Early Exposure to Peanuts, Fish, and Eggs Reduces Allergy Risk in Babies: Study

Toronto Star, NICOLE IRELAND, 16 Feb 2026

A new Cana­dian study says giv­ing babies pea­nuts, eggs, fish and other com­mon food aller­gens early and con­sist­ently decreases the risk they'll be aller­gic to them.

Senior author Dr. Derek Chu [pictured right] says research­ers ana­lyzed more than 190 food allergy stud­ies from around the world to identify the strongest risk factors in devel­op­ing food aller­gies.

Their find­ings, pub­lished this month in JAMA Pedi­at­rics, found that delay­ing the intro­duc­tion of pea­nut­ con­tain­ing foods until babies were more than 12 months old doubled their like­li­hood of becom­ing aller­gic to the nut.

The study showed sim­ilar res­ults for fish and eggs.

Babies who have other aller­gies, asthma, wheez­ing or eczema in their first year of life — or have an aller­gic par­ent or sib­ling — are also at higher risk of devel­op­ing a food allergy.

Mother's Son Killed by Euthanasia

Alex Schadenberg, Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition

The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition interviewed Margaret Marsilla, the mother of Kiano Vafaeian (26) who was poisoned to death by euthanasia in Vancouver by Dr Wiebe on December 30, 2025. This 15 minute video - One Mother's Mission, explains how Kiano died by euthanasia.

Kiano was not terminally ill. Kiano was a diabetic that resulted in him becoming legally blind and experiencing some neuropathy. But Kiano was driven to seek death by euthanasia based on his mental health. 

Kiano's mother explains in the interview how shocking it was for her to learn on January 3, 2026. Kiano was originally approved to be killed by euthanasia in September 2022, but his death was averted, at that time, when his mother launched a social media campaign, with the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, to change the mind of the euthanasia doctor....

Canada Killing Prisoners via Assisted Suicide Decades after Capital Punishment Ban

Canada is letting prisoners end their lives through assisted suicide decades after banning capital punishment, according to newly released federal data.

In 2025 alone, 12 federal inmates requested assisted suicide, which Canada calls Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD), according to an Order Paper response from the Correctional Service of Canada. 

Since 2018, at least 15 inmates have died by assisted suicide while in federal custody, according to data reported by the Daily Mail. Over this period, 67 prisoners applied for assisted suicide after it was legalized nationwide in 2016.

Canada abolished the death penalty for civilian crimes in 1976 and removed it from military law in 1998. Life imprisonment replaced capital punishment for murder and other serious offenses. Even so, the state now permits prisoners to request physician-assisted death while serving their sentences.

The Correctional Service of Canada has reported an increase in assisted suicide requests following the expansion of eligibility rules under the country’s liberal government.

Assisted suicide was legalized in 2016 under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for patients with terminal illnesses. Since then, the government has broadened eligibility to include individuals whose deaths are not imminent.
