Summary

This study looked at how lactose, the sugar found in milk, affects blood sugar, insulin, and fat levels compared to other sugars like glucose and sucrose. Sixteen healthy men participated by drinking different sugar solutions and having their blood tested afterward. The goal was to see if lactose helps keep blood sugar and insulin more stable, which could be useful for feeding premature infants.
