Formulas are developed in order to compete with mother’s milk, one of the development is to add substance to the product gangliosida. But gangliosida added to the milk formula was still not able to match the existing content in breast milk.
Gangliosida is one of the substances contained in mother’s milk. Gangliosida useful to improve the function of the brain’s cognitive development in infants. This substance is very useful for the child’s brain development.
When a baby is born, he has more than 100 billion brain cells, but cells are not well connected with each other. Because it takes gangliosida substances that have an important role to maximize the relationship of brain cells are.
I think good if there is milk formula supplemented with gangliosida, but can not be compared with gangliosida contained in breast milk. Because gangliosida in breast milk occurs naturally, while those in the synthetic formula.
If you want to compare, should be compared with formula milk does not contain gangliosida and not compared with breast milk. Because in general in the mother’s milk, there are more than 200 substances are useful for the baby.
When comparing gangliosida in breast milk with formula, it is like comparing a human baby with a doll that is very much like a baby. Both are clearly different because the mother’s milk is the liquid of life.
Other substances are also added to the milk formula is long-chain fatty acid AA and DHA. In cow’s milk is really just short-chain fatty acids, or medium and not the long chain, so the formula is added AA and DHA.
But this is of course different from those in breast milk, because in breast milk there is also a function of lactase enzymes to help absorption of these fatty acids. While fatty acid AA and DHA are contained in the formula is not equipped with lactase.
Breast milk not only as food or nutrients for the baby, but also contains a variety of antibodies and hormones that are needed by the infant in helping development. Hence there is no single product that can compete with breast milk.
