Galactose is a simple form of sugar. It is found in nature as one of the three monosaccharides, glucose, fructose and galactose. When galactose is combined with glucose, through a condensation reaction, the result is a disaccharide called lactose. Galactose can be called as a building block of lactose. Lactose is found in milk. Lactose can also be found in cream, fresh cheeses, and yoghurt, in addition to milk.. Lactose is necessary for diet as it helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It helps in the growth of useful bacteria to tackle unwanted organisms and promote health in the human intestine. The human body produces galactose from glucose, and hence not essential to include it in the diet. It is safe for diabetes patients in moderate quantities. Galactose is also used as a food additive in sports drinks and chewing gums. It can be also called as a dietary supplement.
