Scientists develop natural sugar that doesn’t raise insulin using E. coli

Scientists have achieved a major breakthrough by converting the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) into tiny “factories” capable of turning common glucose directly into a rare healthy sugar called D-tagatose. D-tagatose is as sweet as regular sugar but contains only one-third of the calories and does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels making it ideal for people with diabetes. The breakthrough relies on reversing a natural biological path…
