Curiosities of the Brain

What is in a Brain?

Mostly Fat! About 60% of the brain is composed of lipids. The brain needs lipid for insulation, and for the speed of operation of neuronal messaging.
How does sense of taste serve the Brain?

The sweet taste signals the identification of energy rich foods, umami recognizes the amino acids of proteins, salt ensures the proper electrolyte balance and sour and bitter tastes warn against potentially toxic or poisonous intakes.
What does infant Brain need?

Infants who are not breastfed or are partially breastfed should receive iron-fortified formula from birth to 12 months (The Committee on Nutrition of the American Academy of Paediatrics).
