Different varieties of sugar

The doctor prescribes sugar, which he considers best for your child( or indicates that you need to do without sugar).Below are listed common varieties of sugar.

Usual granulated sugar is most often used in the preparation of a mixture, because it is cheap, available and gives good results. Since this sugar is well purified, it does not cause diarrhea, if the child has a tendency to this. The largest amount of sugar in the mixture for a day - from two to three tablespoons.

Brown cane sugar is unpeeled sugar. It is useful if the child has too dry and hard stools. A tablespoon of brown sugar has the same nutritional value as a tablespoon of peeled.

Corn syrup is also often used for making a milk formula. It consists of a mixture of sugar and dextrin. Dextrin is a cross between sugar and starch. In the intestine, it turns into sugar gradually, so that simultaneously in the intestine there is less sugar, because of which gases are formed. Therefore, dextrin is recommended for children who have a lot of gas or have a predisposition to diarrhea. But corn syrup can be given to

and to children with good digestion. It's cheap. Use the same amount as sugar. Maximum for a mixture for a day - from two to three tablespoons. Usually, if there is no inclination to constipation, use a light syrup. Dark syrup is less purified and therefore acts as a mild laxative.

A mixture of dextrin and maltose( malt sugar) is similar to corn syrup, only it is not a liquid, but a powder, and it is more expensive. In a tablespoon, half the calories are contained than in a tablespoon of sugar. Therefore, if you are using a mixture of dextrin and maltose, take two tablespoons instead of one according to the usual prescription. The maximum amount for a mixture per day is from 4 to 6 tablespoons.

Lactose( milk sugar) is found in human and cow's milk. It is good for a milk mixture, but expensive. One and a half tablespoons of lactose is required instead of one sugar.
