ALLULOSE - Is It The Better Option?

Simple answers to complex topics from a primary care doctor with a focus in preventive health.

Allulose is the sugar that looks like fructose, tastes (mostly) like sucrose (table sugar), but does not spike your insulin or blood sugars and may even be good for your gut microbiome.

Pro tip - start small and increase as tolerated...
only other downside I've noticed is when taking too much - anything from mild stomach/intestinal upset to more extreme trips to the bathroom/WC (same goes for others like Xylitol or Erythritol, etc. NOTE: stevia is not in this class and doesn't seem to have these side-effects, maybe because it's also a much smaller dose?)

Fabulous video. Thank you. I drink Lactaid fat free. Love it. Thks for the knowledge and teaching what I had not previously understood. 🥰

I tried Allulose and I love the taste, but it caused digestive issues, kept running to bathroom so I just stick to Xylitol because it tastes more like sugar also, and doesn't really cause any digestive issues.

Thank you for the excellent presentation!

Doctor… thanks for ur presentation… would Monkfruit be another option?

[vister]

I use sweetener sparingly. I like monk fruit and erythritol. Monk fruit is my favourite but pure monk fruit sugar is too expensive for me.

Hi that was a great presentation thank you I love your ice cream idea idea what is Allulose made from?

[tedangle]

I've started to use it for it's GLP1 agonist like properties: I don't get hungry...

I think I'l just go without, at least until I learn a lot more about it.

Excellent video! Have purchased a few boxes online..i do worry though a bit as in the Uk where i live allulose isnt approved by the NHS. That makes me thing it may not be as safe after all. Your opinion doctor?

[BJCMXY]

I actually have a salivary problem with things that taste sweet.
Fructose and many low/no cal options also trigger this response, and the end result is an immediate and complete rejection of what I have just eaten.
Back before I realized what was causing this issue, I lost 35 pounds simply because I couldn't keep what I ate down.
The reality ironic thing is that I I actually had a great time with my academic achievements that semester. 🙄
It was as though I was so miserable that studying was about all, I could do. 😅

Can you talk about what happens when we consume more that 50 grams of Allulose?

[birage]

What is your opinion Dr. on this: if allulose does not get fully metabolized and goes out the urine and feces, would this type of sugar in the urine make the bladder or kidney ripe for infection?

[scottbuehler]

how about Erythritol?? Does that also not add to the bad effects in the gut biomes??

[DarthAwar]

People forget Frucose and Fructose and related but not the same thing Fructose is what damages the Liver

[keithrobinson]

We’re is the best place to get it from I live in the uk thanks

Is allulose better than or equal to stevia?

[vh]

Is it better than monk fruit and erythritol?

[joellenbroetzmann]

I just tried it and am not impressed. The price is outrageous and the sweet factor is much less than sugar. And when you put something sweetened with only allulose into your mouth you get this nothing feeling for a few seconds. All in all I think it's best to give up sweets of any kind cold turkey because this is yet another that leaves you too close to going back to table sugar addiction.

This stuff is derived from corn. Here in the USA, literally all corn grown is GMO. I will stay with raw honey or stevia
