Tagatesse is a natural sugar with a taste similar to regular sugar, but the calorific value is much lower. 1 gram of regular sugar contains 4 kilocalories, while 1 gram of Tagatesse contains only 1.5 kilocalories. This way the weight can be controlled and without compromising on a nice, sweet taste.
Tagatesse is perfect for diabetics, because of the very low glycemic index.
 

Tagatose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FAO/WHO and has been since 2001. Since it is metabolized differently from sucrose, tagatose has a minimal effect on blood glucose and insulin levels. Tagatose is also approved as a tooth-friendly ingredient.
