How many grams of sugar in 5 tablespoons of lactulose?

Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that is not fully absorbed by the body. It contains about 0.5 grams of sugar per tablespoon. Therefore, in 5 tablespoons of lactulose, there would be approximately 2.5 grams of sugar. However, since it is not fully metabolized like regular sugars, its impact on blood sugar levels is different.
