galactose and carbohydrate digestion
Galactose digestion refers to the process of breaking down galactose, a monosaccharide, into its simpler components for absorption and utilization by the body. Carbohydrate digestion, on the other hand, involves the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into smaller sugars, including glucose, fructose, and galactose, in order to supply energy to the body and support various physiological functions.
