BOB FLETCHER WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT SUDDEN INFANT DEATi{ SYNDROME? Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, most commonly strikes infants between one and twelve months old. No one knows what causes it. These infants, about two of every 1,000, simply' die in their sleep, without any sign that they are ill. Doctors are now investigating exactly how and why SIDS strikes, but little is known at present. Certain factors, however, are known to be associated with SIDS. It seerfis that infants who have died from SIDS often are boys, twins, were born prematurely to young- er mothers or to mothers who smoke cigarettes. These factors are not proven causes yet of SIDS, but they may help in the research being done. Itj.known that the deaths are no one's fault. SIDS victims are cared for as carefully as are most infants, and there is no reason to believe parental neglect has anything to do with their deaths. That, in part, is what makes SIDS so baffling. We have more information about SIDS and how to help the families who experience it.

Lectures at university KIRKTON - Nutritional scien- tist Elaine Gottschall was guest lecturer at the Medical Sciences Building on the University of To- ronto campus earlier this month. The author of "Food and the Gut Reaction" was one of the speakers at an elective course for one to four-year medical students. The course focuses on alternatives to conventional medical treatment. Gottschall's lecture was titled "Al- ternative therapy for inflammato- ry bowel disease". In his introduction, the physician in charge commented that Gotts- chall's area "should be considered an adjunct rather than an alterna- tive to traditional treatment". During her 90 -minute. talk, Gottschall explained the structure of the human gastro-intestinal sys- tem, and the changes that occur when illness strikes, stressing the fact "you can't continue to cat ordi- nary food if you want to get better". She told of the circumstances lead- ing to the writing of her book, and presented a number of case histo- ries. Gottschall described the students' response as "profound" and "grati- fying". They were fascinated with the connection between the brain and the intestinal tract, and interest- ed in Gouschall's back-up research. Many purchased copies of her book. Gottschall has been invited back to lecture again next year. - Our joy is having wonderful folks like you as customers and friends. Merry Christmas!
