Scientists find blood glucose link to cot death - Independent
Extract:
"A link between cot death and low blood glucose levels has been found by researchers, it was announced yesterday.
A team led by Dundee University found what they believe could be a key piece in the puzzle of sudden infant death syndrome.
They identified defects in glucose production, particularly in premature and small babies, which make infants more prone to risk factors linked to cot death.
Low birth-weight babies are particularly vulnerable to low blood glucose levels and sudden death in infancy."
If you are pregnant, you can safeguard your health and that of your unborn baby by eating as little salt/sodium as possible during your pregnancy. - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/pregnant_mothers.html

A sympathetic article about Sally Clark and her suffering.
No redemption for Sally Clark - article in The Daily Telegraph
Extract:
"Sally Clark walked out of prison four years ago, but she was never set free. Not in her head. Not in her own mind, where the demons still raged and screamed, even though the persona she showed to the outside world was bland and contained. The ordeal of being wrongly convicted for the murder of her two baby sons, then serving more than three years of a prison sentence and being released only on her second appeal was one that Clark could not recover from.
Who could? The look on her face, as she stood outside the High Court in January 2003, told its own story. In her moment of vindication, when it was proved that her sons had been cot death victims all along, Clark did not look triumphant or happy."
