How can starting a certain food too early cause the baby to have allergies?

I don't understand how started a food too early can cause allergies. I've heard not to start any baby on rice cereal until at least 4 months because it can cause the baby to get food allergies, and don't give peanut butter because it can cause allergies. Aren't you either allergic to something or not? I don't understand how feeding a baby rice cereal at 2 or 3 months old can increase their risk of food allergies. Can someone please explain it to me?
