A sad day for motorsport and its fans! RIP Eddie.

Tributes as former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan dies aged 76 Tributes to former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan, whose team competed between 1991 and 2005, has died aged 76.

Glycerol is often used to create the slush effect. But in high quantities, especially to small children, glycerol can cause shock, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and loss of consciousness.

That’s why current advice says slushies with glycerol are not recommended for children under five. And, older children should be limited to just one slush a day.

But slushies have been back in the news this week, with new research suggesting the age threshold may need to be even higher.
