I haven't read the ingredients on a recent bottle of Gerber baby food but
back in the 60s, they added excess amounts of sugar so parents who tasted
it felt it was suitable for their kids. The downside to that was the kids
taste buds weren't developed enough to taste sugar and they unfortunately
ate more sugar than they should have, causing growth and health problems
early on. Sweettooth, cavities, diabetes, etc.
