    I happened to come across allulose while shopping so I researched it and then bought it. My mom loves to have coffee and cream WITH her sugar. Recently, it has come to me to make her coffee so I put in the same amount or so into her coffee and I will say this--last year, her A1C was 8.2 and she's on Metformin. Last month she had to have neck surgery (post cervical laminectomy/fusion) so her A1C had to be checked and it was around 7.6. She recently had her A1C checked it out and her A1C is now 6.7! Her doctor is amazed and said if her next A1C level is that low or lower, he'll cut down on her Metformin! Mom doesn't eat a lot of sugar during the day, but it's how much she was putting in her coffee (4 heaping TABLESPOONS/big soup spoons) and FAKE creamer (the ones that put vegetable oil etc in it). I've changed her creamer to real cream and sugar to allulose and I can see the difference. She doesn't know I have exchanged her sugar bwahahaha! p.s. I've tried Stevia but there's the aftertaste that she tastes but with allulose she doesn't taste it and one day I will tell her what I'm doing...maybe after the next A1C result.

My dad even told her to not end up like he did. My dad didn't look unhealthy but he definitely was and he wasn't forthcoming about his health issues. I found out he had CKD 4 and metabolic syndrome. I tried to get to work on him but it was too late as once he got admitted for a simple case of cellulitis, everything just snowballed-one thing after another, even a near fatal ventricular tachycardia, until he passed. But I was a fierce advocate for him all the way.

    For the past two weeks, I've been spiking my morning coffee with 3 tablespoons of allulose along with 140 calories of MCT powder. I've experienced zero gastrointestinal issues. Although I never used sugar in my coffee even before going on keto, I find it to be a pleasant morning sweet treat. I've started adding the allulose because of its recent characterization as "nature's Ozempic," which is to say it's alleged to suppress appetite and assist with fat metabolization. With this morning ritual, I've found OMAD to be effortless. I no longer experience hunger. Period. When it comes time for my one meal I eat out of habit, not hunger. I might try a three day fast, where my intakes consists of nothing but the coffee concoction above once a day, and water.

    I bought a big bag of granular Stevia from Wal-Mart's brand. It was cheap and I used it for baking and making it into liquid sweetener. I kept gaining weight. Then my joints starting hurting and got worse and worse, to the point I could barely walk, and had to use a cane. My right wrist felt like it was being cut off! It happened slowly over a year's time, and after buying four bags. I started a process of diet elimination and found out that it was the Wal-Mart brand of Stevia artificial sweetener. It was cut with MALTITOL!!! I just eliminated all artificial sweeteners from my diet, and I am getting better by the day. I was using liquid Stevia too in my drinks.

From the information you're citing, it sounds like the European agencies are advising caution until they can study it further based on another sweetener that there were issues with.

    This is the best sugar substitute out there. It doesn't have a weird aftertaste like stevia or monkfruit and it isn't bad for your gut like sucralose and sugar alcohols. It also tastes 95% like sugar and can actually help with blood sugar control and fat loss. The only downside is that it is expensive.

    Just in case your followers are interested, I have found the following on allulose:
    What is Allulose?
    Allulose is a rare sugar found naturally in raisins, figs, kiwi, brown sugar, molasses and maple syrup. However, in the above examples, allulose is only present in miniscule amounts, and the product “Allulose” we buy, is not extracted from these sources. Commercially-produced allulose is produced mainly from corn starch, or sugar beets through 4 main steps: 1) starch is isolated from corn, 2) the glucose is split from the fructose (by hydrolysis), 3) glucose is converted to fructose by isomerization, then 4) now that all the starch has been converted to fructose, it is converted to allulose using enzymes from genetically modified microbes. By definition, it is a highly processed food product, and is not extracted intact from base sources.

    • @D.von.N
      @D.von.N 13 днів тому

      How the commercial allulose is produced is not an issue for me, but as you rightly pointed out, it appears in nature in small amounts, similarly to sugar alcohols like sorbitol or xylitol, or even glutamate. Just because allulose has some interesting properties like raising GLP1, that doesn't mean we should start consuming it in large quantities. I, for example, haven't had any ice cream for probably 2 years now, but I am treating myself with fresh strawberries and a thick natural yogurt. Much healthier and satisfying, too. I don't miss ice dream or chocolate. Fruit is my sugar fix. And I come from a family with strong diabetes background, myself showing no sign of it so far. Had a porrige with cherries in the morning. Carbs aren't the issue. Trying replacing one fad with another without addressing the primaru problem of poor diet and lack of exercise will only make us walking in circles. Previously it was fructose for diabetics, now it is allulose, making people disinterested with all food, getting into a starving mode, breaking down muscle tissue in the process and result is what? Yoyoing indefinitely.

    You are one brave soul sticking your finger that many times. Thank you for taking the hit for us all.
    You might find it interesting that some of these sweetners have been around for a long time (commercially). I was fortunate about 20 years ago to be on an Atkin's forum with a chemist when several of these sugars were released to the public and about 5 of us started to experiment converting deserts to low carb. for the home cook. The chemist would give us the combinations of sugars (there were always 3 together). There was usually not a one fits all situation. Each of the sugars do something a bit different. As you no doubt have discovered some work well with heat, some do not. Now that I have started KETO I will search my recipe archives and try and dig up those notes etc. There were about 10 desert recipes I personally developed back then that I quit making. There was no point in making something sugar free if you were using sugar at all. Today there are many more sugars available to play around with it appears.
    Back to the drawing board. LOL

Why I do not know but I will start to research and try and find out why. Back to the drawing board, old notes to remind me why we were doing what we were doing, and why it worked.

    First. I'm using allulose almost exclusively. I like your study but I went one step further. I am 72 and was approaching Type II diabetes with A1(c) levels at 6.2 to 6.5 and became concerned about insulin resistance. My BMI was about 31 so I told my doctor that I wanted to get serious about loosing weight which in the past had been very difficult just by reducing calories. I convinced him to give me a prescription for a continuous glucose monitor which I have been using to monitor the effect of various foods on my glucose levels and my fasting glucose which was running in the 110 to 120 range, NOT good! I have been on a loose keto diet and find that an 18 hour fast each day along with my first meal being an Atkins protein drink mixed with 2 oz of Avocado and about 1 oz of MCT 8 oil plus about 8 oz of cold coffee and then a second moderate, very, low carbohydrate meal at mid-afternoon has produced an average weight loss of 1.7 pounds per week for a total loss of 35 pounds in 4 months.
    I decided since it was very easy to do a glucose tolerance test on myself, that I would try one back in October, about 1 1/2 months after starting my keto diet. I was alarmed that not only were my 1 and 2 hour glucose levels above normal, they were actually over 200 mg/dL, very bad. In December, two months and about 20 pounds lighter, I had a formal glucose tolerance test done by a endocrinologist and my levels were now normal. After reading about trying to duplicate corn syrup with erythritol by another UA-camr, I bought some allulose syrup and calculated how much allulose that they used by how much carbohydrate that they listed on their label. I made my own syrup using 270 mg of allulose in a total volume of 355 ml or 1.5 cup. I am going to look at your syrup recipe and really want to make pecan pie so I will be looking at your recipe for that as well.

    Thank you for the post as well as the info! I just made Keto brownies yesterday and for the first time used Allulose as the sweetener. They were very good with no after taste like baking with Swerve erythritol. BochaSweet is another sweetener I recently used in a pecan pie recipe from "All day I dream about food" that was very good. It called for half BochaSweet, half erythritol. I think I might rework that recipe with BochaSweet and Allulose. Warning BochaSweet is the most expensive sweetener I've purchased since going Keto (Keto since April 2019) But the taste was spot-on with sugar in my opinion. Let me know if you have tried it and thanks again.

    Careful! I use allulose and love it, BUT it can and will give you the 'trots' if you consume too much at once. I can also attest to the fact that the more you use it, the less it messes with your intestines!
    Note: Allulose is only 70% as sweet as other sweetners (sugar, monkfruit...), so in baking, adjust accordingly.
    I however, no longer add the extra as I now find allulose plenty sweet!

    Hey there! This is my first ever time here, and am glad you are talking about allulose. Ya know, it’s nice to get these sweeteners explained! One of my bloggers worships at the altar of Swerve, while another vlogger exclusively uses allulose! Then you hear about people adding Stevia to tamp down the coolness of the erythritol! It’s very confusing. I used some allulose the other day and my husband said, whatever I had made, he’s not keto, that it wasn’t sweet enough. He was right! (Well, he always is 😋) Anyway, thanks for doing this! The other day, one of the keto vloggers that I watch did an allulose taste test - I think he liked the Splenda Allulose - said it had a “marshmallow” taste? With all that said, you’re pretty normal. Seems like there is a lot of ego out here in Ketoland! I hope you stay normal - but maybe once you get to 100,000 subscribers you’ll change, too? 😂🤣😂 I hope not!
