Sugar, like lactose, consists of simple carbohydrates and are essential for infants. They supply your body with quick energy, for example, for the generation of warmth and muscle movement. Unlike adults, infants do not yet have any energy reserves. During hunger, which is a sign of deficient energy supply or deficient energy availability, an infant can immediately dispose the energy of sugar. With the decomposition of complex carbohydrates in grain, the energy is only released bit by bit.
