But if your daughter has shown no signs of an allergy to peanuts, you might want to make sure she is eating peanut butter on a regular basis.

The study subjects were more than 9,000 girls between the ages of nine and 15. They were followed from 1996 through 2010, concluding when they were in their 20s.
