Sugar In Infant Formulas

Sugars in infant formulas pose risk to babies with inherited metabolic disorder.

Formulas Infant Sugar

Why even put sugar in formula its not like an infant is born with sugar addiction. While I understand that there is a need to flavor something infants need as close to natural as possible. Remember, ideally ts just mom's breast milk and all the goodness of that is what a newborn needs.
