Galactose- the other sugar?

After doing a lot of research I feel that galactose is not the evil that many experts claim. Some researchers claimed that galactose caused cancer!

While I have not been a fan of it since it receives far less attention then glucose and other sugars, after reading about the power of breast milk and igf-1 and growth I have been excited. About 1 out of 65,000 newborns is born with a deficiency of Gal-1-PUT , causing the baby not to thrive as others do…what does this mean? Don’t expect Twin Lab to make galactose fuel in the near future but low insulin levels during exercise is vital for brain and neural performance.

Phoenix-
What does this sugar have to do with IGF-1 other than they are both found in breast milk. I’m aware of the benefits associated with IGF-1 but don’t really see how the sugar comes in to play? Maybe I’ve misunderstood.

Also, the time to exhaustion studies seem to indicate that it would be of more benefit to an endurance benefit. Do you think this would have any significant effect on a power athlete?
