  • As a breeder, yes babies learn that hunger is soothed by consumption. They have an innate sense to suck to sooth and most can suck and swallow. If they are uncomfortable from hunger (or anything else) they suck and if there’s something to swallow they do. Quickly they learn that if they continue swallowing when not hungry it is also uncomfortable, so many learn to either not suck in the same way which might release milk from a breast or they enjoy a pacifier or thumb instead.











  • Different types of sugar are digested at different rates, even if they all taste sweet. Glucose, fructose, sucrose, even allulose are found in fruits I’m different amounts and are all suggested differently. There are also various starches that change digestion taste and some of that (not not all) break down into sugars with amylase in saliva. Different kinds of starches break down at different rates and are digested differently and can alter the sugar absorption. Different kinds of fibers feed different kinds of things in your gut biome and are processed differently by your body too. Those are just the basic categories of carbohydrates without going into details of the different roles they play in digestion.

    Fruits, veg, whole grains, all have different nutrient profiles and your body treats them differently. Consuming a multivitamin with fiber supplement and sugar may get your caloric and some vitamin needs met but you will be missing many other things that a diet with a broad variety of foods can offer.
