Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Mother's milk is very high in cholesterol. The ingested cholesterol is essential for proper brain development in the first two years of a child's life. Milk sugar (lactose) likewise is also important for brain function. The lactose gets hydrolyzed to glucose and galactose. It is the galactose which is needed by the brain. The glucose is used as fuel by the entire body. Fred SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
