Reply to comment by katarh in There’s a strong relationship between diet in early life and food preferences in adulthood, research finds by Additional-Two-7312
It says they crave more sugar as adults if they had lots of variety as babies. Mice, at least. This may have implications for obesity in humans.

Speaking to modern day humans: Canned baby food is very bland - little salt or pepper - but baby formula is often full of a ton of sugar. I once heard it referred to as a "baby milkshake" by a professor complaining about how much sugar is in standard formula. Human breast milk has milk sugars in it too, but the calories are also coming from fats and proteins.
