"Hypersensitivity to milk is implicated as a cause of sudden death in infancy."

~The Lancet, vol. 2, 7160, November 19, 1960

"Those who consumed cows milk were fourteen times more likely to die from diarrhea-related complications and four times more likely to die of pneumonia than were breast-fed babies. Intolerance and allergy to cow's milk products is a factor in sudden infant death syndrome."

~The Lancet, vol. 344, November 5, 1994

"Those infants who died of SIDS expressed inappropriate or inflammatory responses suggesting violent allergic reactions to a foreign protein. Lung tissue and cells showed responses similar to bronchial wall inflammation in asthma."

~The Lancet, vol. 343, June 4, 1994
