Under-eights should avoid slushie drinks, doctors warn
The Guardian
|March 13, 2025
Children under eight should not drink slushies containing glycerol, paediatricians have warned.
Public health advice on the safety of the iced drinks may need revising after a review of the medical notes of 21 children who became acutely unwell shortly after drinking one, doctors concluded.
The children became ill as a result of what the study, published in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, referred to as glycerol intoxication syndrome, which caused symptoms such as decreased consciousness and low blood sugar.
Glycerol is a naturally occurring alcohol and sugar substitute which helps slushies maintain their texture.
