I wonder about the usefulness (and safety) of galactose, say 1 teaspoon the the morning coffee and another one later in the day. The animal experiments using d-galactose to induce "aging" used "systemic administration" and possibly high doses of D-galactose. One review, see: https://pubmed.ncbi....h.gov/31538262/
"D-Galactose-induced accelerated aging model: an overview
Abstract
To facilitate the process of aging healthily and prevent age-related health problems, efforts to properly understand aging mechanisms and develop effective and affordable anti-aging interventions are deemed necessary. Systemic administration of D-galactose has been established to artificially induce senescence in vitro and in vivo as well as for anti-aging therapeutic interventions studies. The aim of this article is to comprehensively discuss the use of D-galactose to generate a model of accelerated aging and its possible underlying mechanisms involved in different tissues/organs."
On the other hand, useuful effects are proclaimed (https://intelligents...page/galactose/):
- Prevents high blood glucose levels, which helps reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease
- Helps decrease stress by lowering cortisol levels
- Lowers HbA1c blood glucose marker indicative of reduced sugar damages
- Helps switch on fat burning and has a low-calorie content
- Prevents and inhibits insulin resistance
- Prevents tooth decay
- Improves blood fat profile and can increase good cholesterol
What might be the actual consensus? Thx for any thougts.
