AI overview

I don't have enough context to write an accurate overview. The context provided only states that DL-lactic acid is "a group of stereoisomers," but doesn't explain what lactic acid is, what stereoisomers are, or why DL-lactic acid matters. I would need additional information to write an accurate and helpful overview for a general reader.
