Sweet taste, no sugar - Vital Signs - sugar substitutes - Brief Article

Natural Health, Jan, 2004

A sugar substitute that tastes like the real thing? At less than 1 calorie per teaspoon, the recently FDA-approved tagatose (marketed as Naturlose), packs 92 percent of table sugar's sweetness without jacking up levels of blood sugar or insulin. Made from dairy byproducts, the aftertaste-free sweetener debuted in 7-Eleven's Diet Pepsi Slurpee and may soon turn up in cereals and snack foods.
