Yes babies are supposed to be fat. But not from sugar. To the best of my knowledge , when they are older and able to consume solid foods, things like actual fat or butter are fine ( the stuff that clogs arteries etc) but there is no point in a baby’s development that requires sugar as a necessity.
So it’s not really that the article is based on guidelines for adults and applying it to babies. It’s simply that the guideline for babies is that sugar is not necessary and can actually be more harmful than a multitude of other alternatives that can fulfill the same energy requirements of a baby subsistent wholly on milk.
No you need something pointed.
I just went through a little rabbit hole reading up on this and what an interesting bit of info! Thank you for sharing!
To anyone else interested:Wikipedia entry it’s under ‘production’.
