| galactosemia |
Galactosemia is a disorder that affects how the body processes certain sugars (sugar metabolism). This condition results when the body is not able to process the sugar galactose, which is found in many foods. Galactose also exists as part of another sugar, lactose, found in all dairy products. Liver dysfunction, cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye), speech problems, and mental impairment are characteristic of this condition if not treated.
