Curiosities of the Brain

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).
What fuel does the Brain use?

Almost entirely on Glucose. Glucose intake improves cognition in adults. The effect is rapid but of short duration (15–60 minutes).
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.
