Explain production-oriented history of tagatose manufacturning: There is a good deal of information concerning the current status of tagatose. Spherix, the company that makes Naturlose has run into several roadblocks with their partnerships, including one with MD Foods (which has been slightly documented in this article.
Explain the exact status of tagatose, its likely introduction to the marketplace, the rightful manufacturer and any methods of acquiring tagatose as a consumer.
Explain the health effects on tagatose. A study with done with rats that, though not causing any damage, increased the size of their livers.
Cite sources, including those related to already included information, scientific studies and legal incidents.
Please consider adding an external link to "Sweet Persistence", an article in Johns Hopkins Magazine that discusses Gilbert V. Levin, the founder and CEO of Spherix, the company that holds the patents on D-tagatose. http://www.jhu.edu/~jhumag/1102web/sweet.html Although it discusses much more than D-tagatose, I found it interesting.
