Tagatose - The New Sweetener ! 🧁
Tagatose is a naturally occurring sugar found in tiny amounts in dairy and fruit, now getting attention in metabolic and gut-health research. It tastes like real sugar (about 90% as sweet), The twist ? Your body barely absorbs it. Most of it passes to the gut, which means very low glucose and insulin spikes and fewer usable calories (about 1.5 kcal/g vs 4 for sugar). That’s why it’s being studied for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and weight management. Unlike stevia or monk fruit, tagatose acts like sugar in recipes: it caramelizes, browns, and gives real texture. No cooling effect. No weird aftertaste. Just use a little more and watch browning. Small caveat: because it ferments in the gut, too much too fast = bloating. 👉 👉 What’s the one sweetener you trust the most right now, and why? 👈👈
