[edit] Nutriture hypothesis

An additional, alternative explanation for some incidents contemplated as shaken baby syndrome has been proposed. This explanation suggests that vitamin C deficiency may sometimes play a role, citing that the current SBS pathology determination may be seriously flawed or incomplete [4],[5]. This contested hypothesis is often based upon a speculated marginal, near scorbutic condition or lack of essential nutrient(s) repletion. The proponents of such hypotheses often question the adequacy of nutrient tissue levels, especially vitamin C, for those children currently or recently ill, those with higher individual requirements, those suffering from environmental challenges (e.g. allergies), and perhaps transient vaccination related stresses.

As scientific and legal matters, a few medical personnel recommend that all SBS pathology determinations should address vitamin C repletion history and histamine levels. Some medical personnel have recommended additional vitamins and nutrients as preventive measures, particularly vitamin C, especially for children with known, projected or suspected stresses that may deplete certain nutrients.

Some medical witnesses assert that present day conditions, trends, physiological stresses and nutritional deficits can accelerate skeletal and hemorrhagic pathologies that mimic SBS, even before birth. These views are not widely-accepted in conventional medicine. Nevertheless, favorable court rulings and evidentiary commentary on some flawed SBS determinations have occurred.
