Fox News
Scientists at Tufts University engineer bacteria to produce tagatose, a naturally occurring sugar that tastes better than artificial sweeteners and works better in baking.
"People with sensitivities to poorly absorbed carbohydrates … may experience digestive discomfort at higher doses." Unlike some sugar substitutes, tagatose also behaves more like sugar in cooking and baking. Deirdre Bardolf is a lifestyle writer with Fox News Digital.
The sugar, known as tagatose, occurs naturally in small amounts in fruits and dairy products.
