'''Galactose''' is a type of [[sugar]] that is less sweet than [[glucose]] and [[fructose]]. It is considered a [[monosaccharide]], one of the simplest forms of sugar. Galactose is commonly found in [[lactose]], the sugar in [[milk]] and milk products.

== Sources of Galactose ==
Galactose is primarily found in food substances that contain lactose. These include milk and milk products like [[cheese]], [[yogurt]], and [[butter]]. It can also be found in certain fruits and vegetables, and is used in some synthetic sweeteners.

== Metabolism of Galactose ==
When consumed, galactose is converted into glucose by the [[liver]]. This process is facilitated by a series of [[enzyme]]s. The glucose can then be used by the body for [[energy]].

== Galactosemia ==
[[Galactosemia]] is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to metabolize galactose. This can lead to a buildup of galactose in the blood, which can cause a variety of health problems, including [[liver disease]], [[kidney failure]], and [[brain damage]].
