This new sugar tastes like the real thing without the usual downsides

🤖AI Özeti

Researchers at Tufts University have developed a method to convert glucose into tagatose, a rare sugar that mimics the taste of table sugar while offering several health benefits. This innovative process utilizes engineered bacteria to produce tagatose in a cost-effective and efficient manner, yielding significantly higher amounts than traditional methods. Tagatose not only provides similar sweetness but also has fewer calories and a minimal effect on blood sugar levels, potentially benefiting oral and gut health.
