personal experience

I wish I could remember more about tagatose when I helped make it on the bench scale with my former employer. I think we found the major block to production was probably the cost of separation of galactose from the glucose GraemeLeggett 15:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

I thought I read somewhere that "moderate quantities act as a laxative" .... any truth to this? I guess that would be one reason why this sweetener isn't very popular....

Metabolic claims

There are several claims of differential metabolism between tagatose and other saccharides like sucrose (which is already a bit inappropriate since in vivo sucrose basically does not exist, it gets cleaved to glucose and fructose very rapidly, so the valid comparison would be tag vs glc or tag vs fruc). The citations for these are not sufficient, they should include either a documented pathway to glucose in humans, or a relatively recent hypothesis and the disclaimer that the answer is currently unknown.
