Allulose is a reducing sugar. That means it has a reactive moiety, and can react with other molecules such as proteins and lipids to create AGE (advanced glycation end-product) molecules. Tests have shown it is more reactive than fructose, which in turn is more reactive than glucose. We all get more cross-linked (e.g. stiffer blood vessels, more wrinkles) as we get older, and it would be very surprising if a more reactive reducing sugar didn't lend itself more readily to cross-linking. Any shorter-term gain from using allulose may well be overshadowed by increased irreversible (at least for the moment) cross-linking and production of inflammatory AGE products. I would be very cautious about starting to wolf this stuff down as a sugar substitute.
I’d like to learn more about this. So far, I’ve not used any allulose, but I very occasionally have had a plant based “ice cream” and maybe some monk fruit, stevia, erythritol. Mostly I avoid desserts other than whole organic fruits. Those substitutes for sugar seem to stimulate a desire for more. I’m thinking that may be precipitated by insulin spike, inspite of no sugar or simple carbs consumption.
Very interesting .. I hope Thomas responds to this . I’m always skeptical when I hear a “omg, this is great” claim… followed weeks later by a new study. Also there was no discussion of any side effects? Are there ? I don’t use or eat sugar… I do have Stevia in coffee, but that’s all. I would switch, but now I’d like to know more. Thanks for posting.

If that's true (which it may well be) then it's more of a problem for baking and/or basting your meat on the barbecue, isn't it? I plan to simply make my tea/coffee less bitter, which seems pretty unlikely to result in much A.G.E. production.

Pure B$, I tried the no sugar route for 50 days, and my sugar cravings got so bad I went back to eating some sweets. My guess is you probably already had a high addiction threshold for sugar due to genetics and became more addicted due to stress or some other life drama. For someone like myself sugar cravings never go away.
it is subjective, when you lack of dopamine due to stressful events which is based on your current environment humans tend to crave sweets or anything that will increase dopamine back, better harmless sweets than actual sugar or even drugs or other things
@@BasedInBrazil I'd put it into the context which I've succeeded in; I no longer need to add sugar to things I used to. I have straight black coffee or when I make my own iced coffee I have zero want or need to add sugar to either of them. So yea, I "cured my sugar addiction" of needing to add it to coffee. You really start to appreciate a good coffee then. Stuff like nescafe is just pure garbage without a ton of sugar in it.
I appreciate everyone's comments. I had struggled with anorexia and bulimia for years, beginning at age 12, so ultra-processed foods and added sugar were initially forbidden in my mind and then, as my eating disorder evolved, became addictive, so ultimately removing all trigger foods from my diet, including added sugar and sweeteners, has helped me to maintain a healthy relationship with food. I, too, appreciate the deliciousness of quality coffee without the need to sweeten it.
I am seeing so many positive videos on Allulose. I have used it and coconut sugar in my coffee for over a year now. It is supposed to reverse blood sugar rather than raise it, which I need. I have had good results.
Trader Joe's released Allulose like years ago in small 1 lb bags. That's when I found out about studies showing it lowering blood sugar since it follows the same metabolic pathway as sugar but also does something with insulin. Trader Joe's mysteriously took it off the shelf tho after less than 3 months of selling it... Guess I will never know why
I use allulose in the protein, ice cream recipes for my Ninja Creami and it tastes really good. But you can eat too much and have some pretty bad gastro issues. I used 1/3 of a cup of allulose as indicated in the iced cappuccino recipe that was in the Ninja Creami recipe book. Then, I had to sit on the toilet all day with watery diarrhea. It was a similar experience to the meds you take prior to a colonoscopy. I now know my danger zone for allulose in a 24 hours period is 1/3 of a cup, which is about 5 tablespoons. So, I keep the daily intake to about 1-2 tablespoons and haven't had any issues.
I was using stevia that had erythritol and felt a pinch in my heart. I'm not using it anymore knowing the side effects can be blood clots that can possibly lead to heart attack/stroke.
I've been using Splenda for years. A few years back , I switched to liquid Splenda from packets because the packets still have Maltodextrin in it. I have tried the other artificial sweeteners but I couldn't stand the taste. This is what I found on allulose from a University Hospitals article. "In addition, some research shows that allulose may promote the growth of certain bacteria associated with poor effects on gut health. In either case, allulose could cause GI symptoms of discomfort, gas or bloating similar to those with other sugar substitutes. Moderation is always the key."
All of these have different effects. I use splenda because I'm allergic to stevia (a strong allergen) and nurasweet (linked to weight gain and memory issues). The sugar alcohols have some real issues.
Thank you Thomas, I have been researching ways for my wife to come off Wegovy now that she is in maintenance mode. She lost 80 Lb’s and now need to tone. I lost 100 on keto but she couldn’t stay as strict to lose the weight. I am going to test the blood glucose properties tonight. I am a diabetic in recession due to strict keto “15 grabs carbs max daily”. I just checked before my evening meal and am at 91 blood glucose level. My wife brought home a cheese cake with enough sugar to make hy hair stand on end. I have been taking about 14 grams of Allulose daily for 2 weeks now and will take 14 grams before dinner and eat the cheesecake for desert. We will see if the results hold true for a Diabetic N=1 experiment . I will update this tomorrow with my results.
Testing complete. 1 slice of Cheesecake- 630 calories, for one 250 gram slice. 115 grams of sugar per label. Glucose went from 91 pre dinner to 95 at one hour after keto meal. I then ate the slice and B.G went to 172 after 1 hour. Hour 2 B.G of 151, Hour 3 B.G of 113, Hour 4 B.G. of 102. Even though the spike went to 172 after 1 hour, my normal response tested was 250 to 310 in the past. Without medicinal intervention or constant zone 2 exercise for a couple hours my B.G. would stay well above 200 for 4-6 hours. For my N=1 this was amazing. Time under the curve was greatly reduced from normal and the spike was about 40% lower. Now this made me feel like crap and still not feeling the best this morning. Belly bloating, but no joint issues or muscle pain. I do believe this is worth investigating further, WITHOUT the extreme glucose intake.
Thanks for your experiment. It would be interesting to learn more about how well allulose works to moderate blood sugar and if there are any side effects in the longer term.
@@rmonogue As always this is not medical advice! Long term effects should be negligible as this ia a natural sugar, not manmade. It does moderate blood sugars well for me as I have a tablespoon” roughly 7 grams"in water before my meal and am keeping carb intake to reasonable levels “100 gram daily”or "Dirty keto". So far my glucose levels are staying in the mid 70’s to high 90’s. Always test and confirm as we are all individuals including our response to outside stimulus. If you do try it, let us all know the results!
Erythritol makes my stomach upset. I just started using a small amount of allulose in my morning coffee, no side effects yet. Hopefully it stays that way! 😊 Thank you for keeping us updated!!!
I'm a 67 year oldwoman and a 30+ year type 2 diabetic. I started adding allulose instead of sucralose to my coffee and tea with meals. I have seen a blunting of blood sugar rises after eating foods with carbohydrates! I'm staying the course and will report back in a month or so!
Allulose is fine...in very small quantities, like no more than 1-2 tablespoons per day. Otherwise, it causes the same gastric upset as any other sugar alcohol (flatulence, diarrhea, etc.). The only other thing it has going for it is it doesn't have a wonky aftertaste, but it's not as sweet as sugar. I use it in a blend of allulose/stevia/monk fruit, which makes it 1:1 with sugar, but again, you can only use it in very small quantities, otherwise you'll be prepping for a colonoscopy.
Viewers please beware: Commercial allulose is often produced from corn or fructose through enzymatic processes rather than being extracted from actual fruits (e.g., grapes, jackfruit, kiwis, etc,.).
I have other issues with allulose, but my response to the source is, so what? It's produced by enzymatic processes in the fruits you identify, too. "OMG this used to be fructose!" is irrelevant. Now, if you're worried about traces of fructose, then you're missing the forest for the trees. I find the potential for inflammatory response from allulose (because it is allulose) a bit more alarming
For a mild sweetening effect, one might try myo-inositol. It is a natural endogenous sugar, present in human tissue. It is not converted to glucose, and actually helps improve insulin sensitivity. Also involved in cell signaling, and present in high concentrations in the brain. There are lots of studies on myo-inositol. I was involved in this research area for a number of years. Overall, it is an interesting sugar.

@@alhriclacle5486 A simple Google search will confirm it's banned in Canada and EU , whether it's due to trolling or solid science is a question you can ask the health authorities of those countries.
I just purchased a collection of their RxSugar's products. Don't take too much all at once - test tasting was a fail, in the end. The chocolate syrup worked well for chocolate milk. The hazelnut syrup didn't work for my coffee - too sweet for me and not enough nutty flavor. Otherwise, presenting this science is useful - thank you. the 'candy' is similar to a Pixie Stix, and now I understand it's usefulness.
Too bad the government doesn’t subsidize sweetners like alulose and mong fruit like they do table sugar or corn used in corn syrup. If they did maybe manufacturers of processed foods would try these better alternatives.
Ok so I went to RXsugar, and found that it is not transparent, what is the "Plant Base" that they are using The only ingredient is Allulose. Here's what we know: Natural Occurrence: Allulose is found naturally in small amounts in certain fruits like figs, raisins, and jackfruit, as well as in maple syrup and brown sugar. Commercial Production: Most commercially available allulose is produced through an enzymatic process, and the starting material for this process can vary. Common Sources for Commercial Production: Corn and fructose are the most common sources used to create allulose in larger quantities. While the corn used is often non-GMO, it's important to note that this process involves enzymatic conversion and is not simply extracted directly from plants like figs. So is RXsugar using Corn like the others: AllSweet Allulose by Anderson Advanced Ingredients: Source: They state their allulose is derived from non-GMO corn. Available as: Syrup or powder. Astraea Allulose by Ingredion: Source: Derived from corn. Available as: Liquid or crystalline (granulated). Rare Sugar Sweetener by Quest Nutrition: Source: Made from non-GMO corn. Available as: Crystalline (granulated). Dolcia Prima Allulose by Tate & Lyle: Source: Made from corn. Available as: Syrup or crystalline (granulated). KetoseSweet by Icon Foods: Source: Derived from non-GMO corn. Available as: Crystalline (granulated). What does the research show about side effects? Why has Europe not approved this. What country is Allulose made in, There is limited but growing research on the potential impact of allulose on gut bacteria. While allulose is generally considered safe and not metabolized by the human body, some studies suggest that it could act as a substrate for certain bacteria in the gut. One area of concern is the potential for allulose to promote the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae. This opportunistic pathogen can cause infections in humans, particularly in those with weakened immune systems. In vitro studies have shown that K. pneumoniae can utilize allulose as a substrate, raising concerns about whether high dietary intake of allulose could provide a growth advantage for this bacteria in the gut or other sites of infection. However, it's important to note that: Limited Evidence: The research on allulose and its effects on the gut microbiome is still limited and ongoing. More studies are needed to fully understand its potential impact on different bacterial populations. Individual Variations: Gut microbiomes are highly individual, and the effects of allulose may vary from person to person. Dosage Matters: The potential for negative effects is likely linked to the amount of allulose consumed. Moderate intake might not pose the same risks as excessive consumption. Just some thoughts and questions I have. Another video with the questions answered would be nice. Right now as a layperson I consider if this is not naturally made and extracted by nature and corn does not contain allulose naturally, then this product is synthetic.
Thomas is on point every single time with providing scientific facts regarding nutrition at the cellular level. He has definitely changed my family’s diet and health. Keep up the amazing work TAD. 👍👍
This channel and the quality of the content is getting better and better 🤯. Even when you thought that was already the best one in this subject. Than you Thomas!
This video makes me want to go out and buy allulose for the health benefits, but it’s worth pausing to consider the reasons that allulose only has GRAS status in the US and is banned in Europe and Canada. The long term effects of supplementation are largely unknown. Some research has shown that allulose has greater reactivity in glycation than fructose or glucose. Glycation of proteins by sugars is one of the reasons that diabetes is so harmful systemically. So while our blood sugar might be lower by consuming allulose, it’s unknown if there is a negative health consequence from the allulose itself (through glycation reactions). In Europe and Canada, it is considered potentially carcinogenic.
OMG! I was So hoping he was NOT going to say Allulose 😫 Allulose gives me, and others from what I have read, the most intense, painful, horrible gas and digestive problems that I have ever encountered in my life! I tried it once and will never again.
Same. As much as I wanted to, I can’t handle it well either. And as much as Thomas poo poos it, aspartame and Sucralose do not. I have been consuming them both daily for over 40 years without any side effects or health issues because of it.
Hmmm, people with eating problems trying to stop eating sugar with a substitute. What are the chances you ate too much of it? I think we found the reason for your digestive problems. It's better for you in smaller doses. Like Olestra in chips, if you eat the whole bag you have the same issue. Moderation is key, but I see that is truly your problem.
@@AcidTripPal even anything with Allulose in it (I.e. Small amounts) gives me the same reaction. How interesting that you think you are an Authority on me or my biology, when you don’t even know either.
I have used allulose for years. It is the best sugar substitute I have ever found. I am thrilled to learn all the new information coming out about it now. I hope it gets a little cheaper now that is becoming popular.
I’ve been using Allulose for a year and the benefits go way beyond being a healthy sweetener. Allulose is essentially a GLP1 stimulator, eg it’s a natural version of Ozempic, so it increases satiety/fullness, uptakes glucose into the cells quicker, hence it’s blood sugar lowering benefit when consumed with a high carb/sugar meal. It also blunts the absorption of fructose by up to 40-50%. I also use Allulose as part of my pre workout protocol due to its capability of pushing glucose into the muscles quicker and delays muscle fatigue and allows you workout harder/longer. What more could you ask for from a natural sugar. Simply amazing. The only downfall is that I have to import it from US as I can’t source it in the UK.
I started using allulose simply because it was a sugar alternative that didn't leave a horrendous chemical aftertaste. I've gone from 215 lbs down to 184 lbs as of this morning with zero changes to my diet or exercise other than allusose instead of sugar in my multiple cups of coffee every day.
Unfortunately there is no allulose on the Dutch market. It seems that food authorities are investigating it for possible carcenogenic properties. Can you shine a light on this, Thomas? 🙏
Is there any data on this? I tried googling and all I got where click bait articles but nothing evening showing a correlation. At best they say “some” artificial sweeteners can potentially cause cancer therefore all non-sugar sweeteners are under investigation
Don't see anything in the official documentation about cancer concerns. Do proper research to avoid obvious -concern trolling-. "As of December 2023, allulose is not approved in the European Union (EU) or the UK, but it is in the approval process at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Allulose is considered a novel food because it was previously unavailable, and it falls under the EU's novel food regulation. The Allulose Novel Food Consortium (ANFC), a group of companies, was established in 2021 to work with European sugar refineries and submit a joint novel food application to the EU and UK."
@@KareSeriouslyKaren oh, yeah, aspartame & sweetnlow used to be considered "safe" a s well! Do your research. These unnatural substances literally always have a down side.
I’m amazed at the effects ….just started having 30 gms in a homemade lemonade and it’s working wonders …completely blunts my hunger and is working like ozempic which I have researched a lot but haven’t used ….allulose is a wonder ingredient
Sounds like you make lemonade from scratch, do you use bottled lemon juice or fresh squeezed juice? Big lemonade fan here, according to my dr. lemon juice also helps to dissolve kidney stones, so it can also be a preventative measure.
@@SuperSaltydog77 I buy it per gallon, the one problem with this sweetener is that when you drink more than a gallon of this lemonade you might get the runs. You can only digest so much alulose until you get side effects. I have to say it must have been a great colon cleanse :-)
@@larscw74 Thanks for your reply. Allulose is probably not for me then. Guess I'll just try and lower my sugar consumption, use Splenda instead, or start to drink more plain water.
@@SuperSaltydog77 try reducing processed sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup. Understand that as we age the brain is in danger and we really need to cut down on sugar in take or be at risk for Altzheimer and such. Brain fog is due to sugar. I could highly advise implementing TMG, NMN and Resveratrol to introduce natural mitochondrial energy. Thomas has some great video's about this. It took away my reliance on caffeine.
12:16 I can attest to this. This morning I had 3 scrambled eggs and a small amount of cottage cheese for breakfast with 2 cups of coffee w/cream and a generous amount of allulose in each. I went to In&Out burger for lunch and as I started to get out of my car I go “but I’m not hungry” so I thought - I’ll come back later. I never did. I went home and just had a protein shake because that’s all I wanted. Are you kidding me??? Passing up In&Out has NEVER happened to me before! I can’t prove it but I think it was the allulose in my morning coffee. Ps. I just started using allulose. I never knew about it before.
According to the results of studies, the safest dose of allulose is less than 0. 4 grams per kilogram of body weight for single consumption and less than 0. 9 grams per kilogram of body weight for daily consumption. Above that, the individual will be subject to unwanted side effects
I just ordered a bunch of it. Let’s see what happens. If this works as well as it presents, it’ll be perfect for my mother in law who cannot give up sugar. I’ve been able to abstain but she can’t and I want her to be healthier.
I was hoping you'd say allulose! It's been my go-to for a while now. Just ordered it with monk fruit. I use a little honey with it, just once a day because I've been a bee keeper and I get honey when I travel to other countries.
Allulose sponsorship and a video praising allulose yet you want us to believe your credibility? If there was absolutely no sponsorship or money at all from allulose manufacturers/companies, then yes but things like this creates doubt.
You shouldn't trust anything anyone says you should do unless you research it yourself first. But why can't he have sponsorships? He went out and compiled his own research to present to us using his own time (what does time equal?). If his research led him to believe allulose was beneficial, wouldn't that be the perfect product to push?
@@jacoblambert2616it’s simple because his opinions could be a conflict of interest since he did state that he is “good friends” with the owners and creators of this brand. For example: if a government employee has a friendship with a manufacturer and then praises the manufacturer and sponsors a submission of their friend’s manufacturing company for a grant… was the grant won on the manufacturer’s own merit or was it just because a friend greased the wheels in their favour and is the government employee getting a kick back for doing so?…. It’s sketchy at the very least. This product might be all good but the conflict of interest is causing people to pause and question it. Make sense?
@jacoblambert2616 he want "out of his way" because there was a financial gain behind the sponsorship. His research in inevitably be biased, rational thought should lead you to this conclusion.
That being said, he’s not sharing his opinion on it he is citing a study, and showing the study while he sites it he gives you the proof alongside his commentary
I have followed the research for years regarding Allulose and see the benefits over any other sweetener available. The thing I can't understand is why some countries will not allow it for commercial use or even have it available for purchase! I have corresponded with Health Canada regarding this and the process for approval seems to be very complicated and requires whoever puts in the initial application for approval to pay for the required research for its potential approval. Once approved (if approved) others can piggyback on the benefit which was already financed from the initial group who submitted the application. Until then, I continue to purchase through on-line retailers from the US and even looking at sourcing through industrial suppliers and purchasing commercial volume for personal use....Allulose is considerably more expensive than other sweeteners. I am a little hesitant to bring up a drum of "white powder" into Canada 😂
Thomas, thanks for always putting out content. While I understand that there may be positive effects regarding Allulose it's banned in Canada and Europe.. I would super appreciate it if you look at the side effects of a particular sweetener or drug before pushing content on your zillions of followers... As it turns out there are no NON-NUTRATIVE sweeteners that don't affect one aspect or another of your body.. If you want to lose weight stop eating sugar and it's substitutes... if you need to put some sugar in your diet add a little honey without heating it, moderation is always the key.. There is also research to back up its ban in Canada and Europe...
I just started using All booze and it's the best sweetener I've ever tried. It tastes almost exactly like sugar.. Now, to hear this news...fantastic news.
Im here because i had to quit stevia with erythritol. I was excited bc i thought i found a good affordable alternative to sugar. But the side effects of erythritol are blood clots that can lead to heart attack or stroke. I had a pain in my chest one day recently after using it regularly and decided to stop.
Hulos is one of the four that are generally considered safe, aulos monk, fruit sweetener, Stevia, and erythritol. I think all should be used in smaller amounts. None of them are really good for you but one cool thing about aulos is it also acts the most like sugar when you cook it, you can actually caramelize it to a point and it gets a little sticky like Sugarwood if you’re trying to make a sauce for something like a Chinese food
My child has a new teacher. She's the no-nonsense type and doesn't cowtow to arrogant cliques. There's no "*whiny voice* Everyone should be the same *whiny voice* Every kid should be able to do the same things" in her classroom. One girl was being bullied by the rest of the class, so she picked three popular kids and over the course of a few weeks she kept picking on them and ridiculing them. The bullying quickly stopped and that girl can now go to school in safety. We're very happy with such a good teacher 😊

Allulose gave me the worst stomach ache, thought it was just a fluke, tried it again and same thing, nothing has ever done this to me. It's not that sweet so have to usually use more
All obesity, overweight, immunity, appetite and digestion, and all other health issues would miraculously vanish if people simply reduced their sugar consumption, and their sugar intake.
That's not true. I cut out sugar all together years ago. It had no effect on my RA and little effect on my weight. I hit menopause and suddenly started gaining even more weight. A friend of mine had to have her thyroid removed and struggles with weight. There are lots of things that also cause weight gain because the body is very complex and everybody is different. Sugar is just one of the big ones that often causes weight gain. People don't know how much sugar they're ingesting, and in America is in EVERYTHING.

Allulose has also been shown to help certain gut bacterial growth and not in a good way. So you should also monitor that too. Eating some fruit in your diet might be a better way to go.

What is Allulose? I know it's a sugar substitute. Where does it come from? How is it made? Most commercially available allulose is synthetically made from corn. I keep reading that it can cause the liver to gain weight without causing abnormalities. The bottom line is: Everything should be consumed moderately because too much of ANYTHING will hurt your health and shorten your life. ❤ Be sensible.
@@deekelley891 I'd use small amount of either maple syrup or honey and stay away from all the things we'd never consume in nature. Europe banned allulose for good reason.
@@chloebelle4923 It's natural and already exists in some fruits. It's just not common and no they haven't banned allulose. It's a Novel food which is being regulated because it's new.
Thank you for this info! With Allulose actually helping the gut to PRODUCE GLP-1 (THIS IS WHAT OZEMPIC DOES SORT OF, DIFFERENCE IS OZEMPIC IS THE GLP-1) which helps people to feel "full" much faster than normal. The difference I suppose would be that a person would need to take allulose 2-3 times per day to be affective for weight loss.
If allulose is decreasing the amount of insulin, is the body still metabolizing the allulose? There was a study that showed artificial sweeteners told the brain sugar is coming, which in turn the brain told the pancreas to release insulin to eat up the sugar that's coming. When there was no sugar to consume, there was excess insulin floating around, which then made the brain trigger a craving response to make the body eat more food to use up the excess insulin. If allulose is a sugar, but decreases insulin, is the allulose still being eaten up, or is the excess going elsewhere and causing some other effect?
Allulose is not an artificial sweetener and does not get absorbed but excreted. It is what doctors give you in massive amounts to flush out your colon the night before a colonoscopy.
Artificial sweeteners, commonly used in diet foods and beverages, have been linked to insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes and belly fat accumulation. While the relationship between artificial sweeteners and insulin resistance is complex, research suggests that some artificial sweeteners may contribute to insulin resistance and belly fat.
I’ve been using it as you stated in past vid. It’s only been 3 wks so maybe that’s why I don’t see any difference yet. I workout and walk 13k each day. I track macros and calories.
It is always good be light in a dark world. It is always good to be sense in a stupid world. It is always good to be health in a sick world. It is always good to be strength in a weak world.
I’m convinced that taking artificial sweeteners not only caused me massive sweet cravings which I never had prior BUT they caused insulin resistance, which I didn’t have prior.
Thanks for this lecture on allulose and all your contribution to education and promoting a healthy lifestyle/keto, but I would like to ask you to devote one episode to tell us what is the healthiest sweetener to use(based on research and impact on the human body)? Recently there have been several negative studies regarding erythritol and few days ago about xylitol. After this lecture im switching to allulose, but a sweetener comparison would be great;)
Cool, thanks for the info, however, don't expect miraculously fat loss by using this if you still are not in a caloric deficit, in the end is always calories in vs calories out. Best
@@KetoBaker007 it's very usual when on Intermittent fasting or keto that people lose weight because of eating high protein and fats makes you fuller faster and without insulin spikes, that's why, so you didn't notice that you were in a caloric deficit and that's great, being in that spot is what makes someone follows a diet for the long term, just like myself with Intermittent fasting. Best
There is also evidence that allulose can help protect against cancer. I'm working on a recipe for a tea with green tea, ginger, cinnamon, tumeric, black pepper and allulose. Trying to find a place where it's all palatable.
a more correct validation of allulose is to swap the two groups and see if fat reduction follows the group or allulose. then you should also have some calorie control as part of the "experiment." that being said, i'm good with "probably" :)
Like any other sweetener, using too much will destroy gut health. I just don't get why sweeteners are used so much by so many people. The Stevia I bought in 2018 is still in the cupboard, used twice. (Wonder if I should throw it away)? 😂
Hello, love your channel. I looked up allulose in my local health food store and I found this online. They refused to carry it because they believe it is harmful. Here’s the info. Allulose is a rare sugar that only naturally occurs in a few foods in very small amounts. We do not know the impacts the commercially available, manmade version will have on human health and, in particular, the human microbiome, in larger amounts. Commercially produced allulose is made through an enzymatic process with the starting materials of corn and sugar beets, both of which are commonly genetically modified. The enzymes used may also be produced from genetically modified microbes.[i] [ii] Allulose is known to cause bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and with increasing doses may also cause more extreme symptoms such as nausea, headache, and loss of appetite.[iii]. Is this wrong? Can you explain? Thank you very much
We need more companies manufacturing allulose. I use it when I need a sweetener but it is super expensive and not very sweet so you have to use more volume of something super pricey. I end up adding monk fruit and stevia in small amounts to bump up the sweetness level
At 5 - 10 grams Allulose adds very little sweetening to coffee or iced tea. The flavoring is almost insignificant at that dosage and should only be considered a food supplement. Fortunately, I have not experienced GI issues at the higher doses others have described. However, to use Allulose as a sweet flavoring I have to measure in tablespoons, not in portions of a teaspoon. That is probably not a healthy amount of Allulose to consume. Bummer, I was hoping I could have all the sweetness and health and fitness too.
Thanks for the discount I just went in and put a pretty big order in for a variety of items. I already have a package of powdered allulose I use but I was thrilled to see the different products I could get there and wanted to take advantage of the free shipping and the discount. Great video thanks so much!
just ordered. I lost 130pounds, kinda been eating sugary cereal dry stress eating. gained 10 pounds but i will loose quick. try adding this to my daily intake.
I see people in the ER with reactions to foods supplements etc I truly have heard the opposite that it only takes a little like 1/2 tsp because it’s so sweet Also people please when trying something new try a 1/2 tsp and see how you feel give it a few days pretty much like taking MCT oil build up a tolerance you don’t want to mess yourself
I’ve been reading a lot of reviews on Allulose most of them say it takes a large amount to make their drink taste sweet. Can you please come in on this? Thanks.
The only problem I ever had with Allulose is that it takes SOOOO much of it to sweeten your drinks or whatever it is you're used to using Splenda in. And it isn't cheap, either.
I have a cast iron stomach, but more than 2T of allulose in a day (including honey and pancake syrup made with it from Wholesome Yum), and I'm on the toilet with diarrhea. It's so bad that I cut it with monkfruit now, or cut it out completely.
It's banned in Europe. As with every other non natural sweetener it's not good for you. Pure organic stevia with no additives is the best based on everything I've read. Monk fruit is next best, again, based on everything I've read.
@@freddyt55555 Not nearly as much, and only at very high temperatures. You can make cakes, cookies, brownies, pancakes and waffles with sugar in the mix. You can't with Allulose.
You should analyze the studies not just report them. Often nutrition studies and studies funded by industry making the product have no statistical evidence supporting the claim they make. The news article is a useless relative comparison without statistical significance.
The study that suggested a connection between Xylitol and heart disease was deeply flawed. The participants whose bodies couldn't easily flush Xylitol from their bloodstream were all at high risk for or had documented heart disease before the study. It seems more logical to me that the existing heart disease likely contributed to the heart attacks and strokes and not the short exposure to Xylitol.
@@krystlepoulin6382yeah and I couldn’t believe MDs on twitter citing that study to demonize xylitol. Isn’t science supposed to have repeatable studies? Not wait until you get the results you want and roll with it?
I actually use the brand of allulose noticed a enhancement of taste over sugar and stevia. But I hope to benefit from the weight loss benefits use it in coffee mainly the rx syrup is nice especially the flavored ones no creamer needed love allulose!
Allulose is a reducing sugar. That means it has a reactive moiety, and can react with other molecules such as proteins and lipids to create AGE (advanced glycation end-product) molecules. Tests have shown it is more reactive than fructose, which in turn is more reactive than glucose. We all get more cross-linked (e.g. stiffer blood vessels, more wrinkles) as we get older, and it would be very surprising if a more reactive reducing sugar didn't lend itself more readily to cross-linking. Any shorter-term gain from using allulose may well be overshadowed by increased irreversible (at least for the moment) cross-linking and production of inflammatory AGE products. I would be very cautious about starting to wolf this stuff down as a sugar substitute.
I’d like to learn more about this. So far, I’ve not used any allulose, but I very occasionally have had a plant based “ice cream” and maybe some monk fruit, stevia, erythritol. Mostly I avoid desserts other than whole organic fruits. Those substitutes for sugar seem to stimulate a desire for more. I’m thinking that may be precipitated by insulin spike, inspite of no sugar or simple carbs consumption.
This is compelling. I'd like to know more. @Thomas DeLauer - please respond as to if you have seen info on this in your research. Thank you!
Very interesting .. I hope Thomas responds to this . I’m always skeptical when I hear a “omg, this is great” claim… followed weeks later by a new study. Also there was no discussion of any side effects? Are there ? I don’t use or eat sugar… I do have Stevia in coffee, but that’s all. I would switch, but now I’d like to know more. Thanks for posting.
@@Barb6106whenever there’s a commission to be made from selling a product, it’s best to be skeptical.
Maybe it’s good. But maybe it’s just for making money.
If that's true (which it may well be) then it's more of a problem for baking and/or basting your meat on the barbecue, isn't it? I plan to simply make my tea/coffee less bitter, which seems pretty unlikely to result in much A.G.E. production.

Same here!
Oh yea so what did you accomplish with this info?
For me, cutting out added sugar, including all sweeteners, cured my sugar addiction.
Pure B$, I tried the no sugar route for 50 days, and my sugar cravings got so bad I went back to eating some sweets.
My guess is you probably already had a high addiction threshold for sugar due to genetics and became more addicted due to stress or some other life drama.
For someone like myself sugar cravings never go away.
it is subjective, when you lack of dopamine due to stressful events which is based on your current environment humans tend to crave sweets or anything that will increase dopamine back, better harmless sweets than actual sugar or even drugs or other things
@@BasedInBrazil I'd put it into the context which I've succeeded in; I no longer need to add sugar to things I used to. I have straight black coffee or when I make my own iced coffee I have zero want or need to add sugar to either of them. So yea, I "cured my sugar addiction" of needing to add it to coffee. You really start to appreciate a good coffee then. Stuff like nescafe is just pure garbage without a ton of sugar in it.
I appreciate everyone's comments. I had struggled with anorexia and bulimia for years, beginning at age 12, so ultra-processed foods and added sugar were initially forbidden in my mind and then, as my eating disorder evolved, became addictive, so ultimately removing all trigger foods from my diet, including added sugar and sweeteners, has helped me to maintain a healthy relationship with food. I, too, appreciate the deliciousness of quality coffee without the need to sweeten it.
I consume sugar in my coffee and tea , don’t have sugar addiction. But I do have a little carb addiction. 🤔
I made the switch from Splenda to allulose two weeks ago. No major changes to my diet, and I’m down 3lbs.
Splenda happens to offer an allulose product, too.
@@freddyt55555 thanks for sharing I had no idea
I am seeing so many positive videos on Allulose. I have used it and coconut sugar in my coffee for over a year now. It is supposed to reverse blood sugar rather than raise it, which I need. I have had good results.
Thank you for information
Trader Joe's released Allulose like years ago in small 1 lb bags. That's when I found out about studies showing it lowering blood sugar since it follows the same metabolic pathway as sugar but also does something with insulin. Trader Joe's mysteriously took it off the shelf tho after less than 3 months of selling it... Guess I will never know why
@@Flowmada Because if word got out that hfcs would be abolished is why.
research SIDE EFFECTS before you buy
Cut out the coconut sugar. Sugar is toxic.
I use allulose in the protein, ice cream recipes for my Ninja Creami and it tastes really good. But you can eat too much and have some pretty bad gastro issues. I used 1/3 of a cup of allulose as indicated in the iced cappuccino recipe that was in the Ninja Creami recipe book. Then, I had to sit on the toilet all day with watery diarrhea. It was a similar experience to the meds you take prior to a colonoscopy. I now know my danger zone for allulose in a 24 hours period is 1/3 of a cup, which is about 5 tablespoons. So, I keep the daily intake to about 1-2 tablespoons and haven't had any issues.
That is very true! Sadly I can’t tolerate allulose or eritritol, and it got worse over time. Now I can’t tolerate any amount of it.
I was using stevia that had erythritol and felt a pinch in my heart. I'm not using it anymore knowing the side effects can be blood clots that can possibly lead to heart attack/stroke.
75 grams of sugar per day??? You're fucking insane! Who the fuck does that???
I have never heard of gastrointestinal problems with allulose before
I've been using Splenda for years. A few years back , I switched to liquid Splenda from packets because the packets still have Maltodextrin in it. I have tried the other artificial sweeteners but I couldn't stand the taste. This is what I found on allulose from a University Hospitals article.
"In addition, some research shows that allulose may promote the growth of certain bacteria associated with poor effects on gut health. In either case, allulose could cause GI symptoms of discomfort, gas or bloating similar to those with other sugar substitutes. Moderation is always the key."
I can attest to the fact it does. I always get sick after eating allulose.
yep - allulose makes both me AND my roomate nauseated. I do stevia and monkfruit in my coffee now. At least they're nature derived.
Splenda is made from plastic
All of these have different effects. I use splenda because I'm allergic to stevia (a strong allergen) and nurasweet (linked to weight gain and memory issues). The sugar alcohols have some real issues.
Moderation is a myth. Just ask any alcoholic or addict. Abstinence is best.
Thank you Thomas, I have been researching ways for my wife to come off Wegovy now that she is in maintenance mode. She lost 80 Lb’s and now need to tone. I lost 100 on keto but she couldn’t stay as strict to lose the weight. I am going to test the blood glucose properties tonight. I am a diabetic in recession due to strict keto “15 grabs carbs max daily”. I just checked before my evening meal and am at 91 blood glucose level. My wife brought home a cheese cake with enough sugar to make hy hair stand on end. I have been taking about 14 grams of Allulose daily for 2 weeks now and will take 14 grams before dinner and eat the cheesecake for desert. We will see if the results hold true for a Diabetic N=1 experiment . I will update this tomorrow with my results.
Testing complete. 1 slice of Cheesecake- 630 calories, for one 250 gram slice. 115 grams of sugar per label. Glucose went from 91 pre dinner to 95 at one hour after keto meal. I then ate the slice and B.G went to 172 after 1 hour. Hour 2 B.G of 151, Hour 3 B.G of 113, Hour 4 B.G. of 102. Even though the spike went to 172 after 1 hour, my normal response tested was 250 to 310 in the past. Without medicinal intervention or constant zone 2 exercise for a couple hours my B.G. would stay well above 200 for 4-6 hours. For my N=1 this was amazing. Time under the curve was greatly reduced from normal and the spike was about 40% lower. Now this made me feel like crap and still not feeling the best this morning. Belly bloating, but no joint issues or muscle pain. I do believe this is worth investigating further, WITHOUT the extreme glucose intake.
Thanks for your experiment. It would be interesting to learn more about how well allulose works to moderate blood sugar and if there are any side effects in the longer term.
@@rmonogue As always this is not medical advice! Long term effects should be negligible as this ia a natural sugar, not manmade. It does moderate blood sugars well for me as I have a tablespoon” roughly 7 grams"in water before my meal and am keeping carb intake to reasonable levels “100 gram daily”or "Dirty keto". So far my glucose levels are staying in the mid 70’s to high 90’s. Always test and confirm as we are all individuals including our response to outside stimulus.
If you do try it, let us all know the results!
@@philloder Thank you for sharing!
Erythritol makes my stomach upset. I just started using a small amount of allulose in my morning coffee, no side effects yet. Hopefully it stays that way! 😊 Thank you for keeping us updated!!!
I'm a 67 year oldwoman and a 30+ year type 2 diabetic. I started adding allulose instead of sucralose to my coffee and tea with meals. I have seen a blunting of blood sugar rises after eating foods with carbohydrates! I'm staying the course and will report back in a month or so!
Allulose is fine...in very small quantities, like no more than 1-2 tablespoons per day. Otherwise, it causes the same gastric upset as any other sugar alcohol (flatulence, diarrhea, etc.). The only other thing it has going for it is it doesn't have a wonky aftertaste, but it's not as sweet as sugar. I use it in a blend of allulose/stevia/monk fruit, which makes it 1:1 with sugar, but again, you can only use it in very small quantities, otherwise you'll be prepping for a colonoscopy.
It's not a sugar alcohol, it is a sugar.
Viewers please beware: Commercial allulose is often produced from corn or fructose through enzymatic processes rather than being extracted from actual fruits (e.g., grapes, jackfruit, kiwis, etc,.).
I have other issues with allulose, but my response to the source is, so what? It's produced by enzymatic processes in the fruits you identify, too. "OMG this used to be fructose!" is irrelevant. Now, if you're worried about traces of fructose, then you're missing the forest for the trees. I find the potential for inflammatory response from allulose (because it is allulose) a bit more alarming
So the fructose from fruit is better than the fructose from corn for making allulose?
For a mild sweetening effect, one might try myo-inositol. It is a natural endogenous sugar, present in human tissue. It is not converted to glucose, and actually helps improve insulin sensitivity. Also involved in cell signaling, and present in high concentrations in the brain. There are lots of studies on myo-inositol. I was involved in this research area for a number of years. Overall, it is an interesting sugar.

Im 7 years into carnivore now. Lost 138 lbs. Ive been using allouse now for 6 months now if i feel the need to sweetn something and love this product.
Ok so I went to RXsugar, and found that it is not transparent, what is the "Plant Base" that they are using The only ingredient is Allulose. Here's what we know:
Natural Occurrence: Allulose is found naturally in small amounts in certain fruits like figs, raisins, and jackfruit, as well as in maple syrup and brown sugar.
Commercial Production: Most commercially available allulose is produced through an enzymatic process, and the starting material for this process can vary.
Common Sources for Commercial Production: Corn and fructose are the most common sources used to create allulose in larger quantities. While the corn used is often non-GMO, it's important to note that this process involves enzymatic conversion and is not simply extracted directly from plants like figs. So is RXsugar using Corn like the others: AllSweet Allulose by Anderson Advanced Ingredients:
Source: They state their allulose is derived from non-GMO corn.
Available as: Syrup or powder.
Astraea Allulose by Ingredion:
Source: Derived from corn.
Available as: Liquid or crystalline (granulated).
Rare Sugar Sweetener by Quest Nutrition:
Source: Made from non-GMO corn.
Available as: Crystalline (granulated).
Dolcia Prima Allulose by Tate & Lyle:
Source: Made from corn.
Available as: Syrup or crystalline (granulated).
KetoseSweet by Icon Foods:
Source: Derived from non-GMO corn.
Available as: Crystalline (granulated).
What does the research show about side effects? Why has Europe not approved this. What country is Allulose made in, There is limited but growing research on the potential impact of allulose on gut bacteria. While allulose is generally considered safe and not metabolized by the human body, some studies suggest that it could act as a substrate for certain bacteria in the gut.
One area of concern is the potential for allulose to promote the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae. This opportunistic pathogen can cause infections in humans, particularly in those with weakened immune systems. In vitro studies have shown that K. pneumoniae can utilize allulose as a substrate, raising concerns about whether high dietary intake of allulose could provide a growth advantage for this bacteria in the gut or other sites of infection.
However, it's important to note that:
Limited Evidence: The research on allulose and its effects on the gut microbiome is still limited and ongoing. More studies are needed to fully understand its potential impact on different bacterial populations.
Individual Variations: Gut microbiomes are highly individual, and the effects of allulose may vary from person to person.
Dosage Matters: The potential for negative effects is likely linked to the amount of allulose consumed. Moderate intake might not pose the same risks as excessive consumption. Just some thoughts and questions I have. Another video with the questions answered would be nice. Right now as a layperson I consider if this is not naturally made and extracted by nature and corn does not contain allulose naturally, then this product is synthetic.

This video makes me want to go out and buy allulose for the health benefits, but it’s worth pausing to consider the reasons that allulose only has GRAS status in the US and is banned in Europe and Canada.
The long term effects of supplementation are largely unknown. Some research has shown that allulose has greater reactivity in glycation than fructose or glucose. Glycation of proteins by sugars is one of the reasons that diabetes is so harmful systemically. So while our blood sugar might be lower by consuming allulose, it’s unknown if there is a negative health consequence from the allulose itself (through glycation reactions).
In Europe and Canada, it is considered potentially carcinogenic.
Good to know!
Yeah, well health Canada recommends the jab for you, too. They're paid whores and not credible.
Which sweetner they recommend in canada an europe?
OMG! I was So hoping he was NOT going to say Allulose 😫 Allulose gives me, and others from what I have read, the most intense, painful, horrible gas and digestive problems that I have ever encountered in my life! I tried it once and will never again.
My husband got on this bandwagon and had to drop it due to digestive issues.
Same. As much as I wanted to, I can’t handle it well either. And as much as Thomas poo poos it, aspartame and Sucralose do not. I have been consuming them both daily for over 40 years without any side effects or health issues because of it.
Absolutely no reaction for me. It’s the only sweetener that doesn’t. But I manage my sugar addiction by staying away from it all.
Hmmm, people with eating problems trying to stop eating sugar with a substitute. What are the chances you ate too much of it? I think we found the reason for your digestive problems. It's better for you in smaller doses. Like Olestra in chips, if you eat the whole bag you have the same issue. Moderation is key, but I see that is truly your problem.
@@AcidTripPal even anything with Allulose in it (I.e. Small amounts) gives me the same reaction.
How interesting that you think you are an Authority on me or my biology, when you don’t even know either.
I have used allulose for years. It is the best sugar substitute I have ever found. I am thrilled to learn all the new information coming out about it now. I hope it gets a little cheaper now that is becoming popular.
I’ve been using Allulose for a year and the benefits go way beyond being a healthy sweetener. Allulose is essentially a GLP1 stimulator, eg it’s a natural version of Ozempic, so it increases satiety/fullness, uptakes glucose into the cells quicker, hence it’s blood sugar lowering benefit when consumed with a high carb/sugar meal. It also blunts the absorption of fructose by up to 40-50%.
I also use Allulose as part of my pre workout protocol due to its capability of pushing glucose into the muscles quicker and delays muscle fatigue and allows you workout harder/longer.
What more could you ask for from a natural sugar. Simply amazing.
The only downfall is that I have to import it from US as I can’t source it in the UK.
EVERYTHING is unavailable in the UK.
@@stephencarrier6465 Common sense included. Free deathcare too!

Unfortunately there is no allulose on the Dutch market. It seems that food authorities are investigating it for possible carcenogenic properties. Can you shine a light on this, Thomas? 🙏
Yes, that's likely because it's derived form wheat or corn, loaded with chemical sprays. Europe banned it.
Is there any data on this? I tried googling and all I got where click bait articles but nothing evening showing a correlation. At best they say “some” artificial sweeteners can potentially cause cancer therefore all non-sugar sweeteners are under investigation
Don't see anything in the official documentation about cancer concerns. Do proper research to avoid obvious -concern trolling-. "As of December 2023, allulose is not approved in the European Union (EU) or the UK, but it is in the approval process at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Allulose is considered a novel food because it was previously unavailable, and it falls under the EU's novel food regulation. The Allulose Novel Food Consortium (ANFC), a group of companies, was established in 2021 to work with European sugar refineries and submit a joint novel food application to the EU and UK."

I’m amazed at the effects ….just started having 30 gms in a homemade lemonade and it’s working wonders …completely blunts my hunger and is working like ozempic which I have researched a lot but haven’t used ….allulose is a wonder ingredient
I drink a lot of lemonade, which I generally make with sugar, this might be a good alternative. Thanks for bringing this to my attention
Sounds like you make lemonade from scratch, do you use bottled lemon juice or fresh squeezed juice? Big lemonade fan here, according to my dr. lemon juice also helps to dissolve kidney stones, so it can also be a preventative measure.
@@SuperSaltydog77 I buy it per gallon, the one problem with this sweetener is that when you drink more than a gallon of this lemonade you might get the runs. You can only digest so much alulose until you get side effects. I have to say it must have been a great colon cleanse :-)
@@larscw74 Thanks for your reply. Allulose is probably not for me then. Guess I'll just try and lower my sugar consumption, use Splenda instead, or start to drink more plain water.

12:16 I can attest to this. This morning I had 3 scrambled eggs and a small amount of cottage cheese for breakfast with 2 cups of coffee w/cream and a generous amount of allulose in each. I went to In&Out burger for lunch and as I started to get out of my car I go “but I’m not hungry” so I thought - I’ll come back later. I never did. I went home and just had a protein shake because that’s all I wanted. Are you kidding me??? Passing up In&Out has NEVER happened to me before! I can’t prove it but I think it was the allulose in my morning coffee. Ps. I just started using allulose. I never knew about it before.
What are the results now?
According to the results of studies, the safest dose of allulose is less than 0. 4 grams per kilogram of body weight for single consumption and less than 0. 9 grams per kilogram of body weight for daily consumption. Above that, the individual will be subject to unwanted side effects
I just ordered a bunch of it. Let’s see what happens. If this works as well as it presents, it’ll be perfect for my mother in law who cannot give up sugar. I’ve been able to abstain but she can’t and I want her to be healthier.
I was hoping you'd say allulose! It's been my go-to for a while now. Just ordered it with monk fruit. I use a little honey with it, just once a day because I've been a bee keeper and I get honey when I travel to other countries.
Allulose sponsorship and a video praising allulose yet you want us to believe your credibility? If there was absolutely no sponsorship or money at all from allulose manufacturers/companies, then yes but things like this creates doubt.
You shouldn't trust anything anyone says you should do unless you research it yourself first. But why can't he have sponsorships? He went out and compiled his own research to present to us using his own time (what does time equal?). If his research led him to believe allulose was beneficial, wouldn't that be the perfect product to push?
@@jacoblambert2616it’s simple because his opinions could be a conflict of interest since he did state that he is “good friends” with the owners and creators of this brand.
For example: if a government employee has a friendship with a manufacturer and then praises the manufacturer and sponsors a submission of their friend’s manufacturing company for a grant… was the grant won on the manufacturer’s own merit or was it just because a friend greased the wheels in their favour and is the government employee getting a kick back for doing so?…. It’s sketchy at the very least.
This product might be all good but the conflict of interest is causing people to pause and question it. Make sense?
@jacoblambert2616 he want "out of his way" because there was a financial gain behind the sponsorship. His research in inevitably be biased, rational thought should lead you to this conclusion.
I totally get what you’re saying, but if the science is there, and his claims are based in evidence and facts the sponsorship doesn’t matter
That being said, he’s not sharing his opinion on it he is citing a study, and showing the study while he sites it he gives you the proof alongside his commentary
OMG I can't wait to put in my order. This is going to be a real lifesaver❤
I have followed the research for years regarding Allulose and see the benefits over any other sweetener available. The thing I can't understand is why some countries will not allow it for commercial use or even have it available for purchase!
I have corresponded with Health Canada regarding this and the process for approval seems to be very complicated and requires whoever puts in the initial application for approval to pay for the required research for its potential approval.
Once approved (if approved) others can piggyback on the benefit which was already financed from the initial group who submitted the application.
Until then, I continue to purchase through on-line retailers from the US and even looking at sourcing through industrial suppliers and purchasing commercial volume for personal use....Allulose is considerably more expensive than other sweeteners. I am a little hesitant to bring up a drum of "white powder" into Canada 😂
Thomas, thanks for always putting out content. While I understand that there may be positive effects regarding Allulose it's banned in Canada and Europe.. I would super appreciate it if you look at the side effects of a particular sweetener or drug before pushing content on your zillions of followers... As it turns out there are no NON-NUTRATIVE sweeteners that don't affect one aspect or another of your body.. If you want to lose weight stop eating sugar and it's substitutes... if you need to put some sugar in your diet add a little honey without heating it, moderation is always the key.. There is also research to back up its ban in Canada and Europe...
Honey for the win! 💯💥✌️

Hulos is one of the four that are generally considered safe, aulos monk, fruit sweetener, Stevia, and erythritol. I think all should be used in smaller amounts. None of them are really good for you but one cool thing about aulos is it also acts the most like sugar when you cook it, you can actually caramelize it to a point and it gets a little sticky like Sugarwood if you’re trying to make a sauce for something like a Chinese food

All obesity, overweight, immunity, appetite and digestion, and all other health issues would miraculously vanish if people simply reduced their sugar consumption, and their sugar intake.
That's not true. I cut out sugar all together years ago. It had no effect on my RA and little effect on my weight. I hit menopause and suddenly started gaining even more weight. A friend of mine had to have her thyroid removed and struggles with weight. There are lots of things that also cause weight gain because the body is very complex and everybody is different. Sugar is just one of the big ones that often causes weight gain. People don't know how much sugar they're ingesting, and in America is in EVERYTHING.

Love you videos Thomas!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you and you wife and your children!!!!!
I can hear you speak forever. Very informative. I’m a 41 year old woman and I am down 40 pounds by adding many of your content knowledge. Thank you thank you!
As soon as I saw the title, I assumed it was allulose! Sooo glad! #magicspoon
Allulose has also been shown to help certain gut bacterial growth and not in a good way. So you should also monitor that too. Eating some fruit in your diet might be a better way to go.
Weakness always becomes a compulsion fairly shallow and open, but strength is always a choice, fairly deep and personal. Lying always becomes a compulsion, fairly obvious and blatant, but truthfulness is always a choice, fairly deep , personal and confidential. Everything evil is always a monetary chance, a risk never worth taking, but also one that becomes an unconcious compulsive habit; but everything good is always a moral choice, a decision always worth making, but also one that must be deliberately and consciously put into practice. To reject strength is to accept weakness, and to reject weakness is to accept strength. To deny your own strength is allowing yourself to be overpowered by others weakness, and to acknowledge your own strength is allowing yourself to overpower your own weakness.
What is Allulose? I know it's a sugar substitute. Where does it come from? How is it made? Most commercially available allulose is synthetically made from corn. I keep reading that it can cause the liver to gain weight without causing abnormalities. The bottom line is: Everything should be consumed moderately because too much of ANYTHING will hurt your health and shorten your life. ❤ Be sensible.
Allulose is made from figs. You're thinking of erythritol, which is synthetically made from corn.
Okay, now compare Allulose with Monk Fruit sweetener and Stevia.
They don’t shrink the belly. These studies are promising-and at least so far, without negative effects.
@@deekelley891 I'd use small amount of either maple syrup or honey and stay away from all the things we'd never consume in nature. Europe banned allulose for good reason.
Monk fruit and Stevia don't help control blood sugar or loose belly fat.
@@chloebelle4923 It's natural and already exists in some fruits. It's just not common and no they haven't banned allulose. It's a Novel food which is being regulated because it's new.
Monk fruit and stevia cause blood clots!
Switched to Allulose about 6 months ago. Not as sweet as cane sugar but much better for me.
How about beating the sugar addiction rather than trying to fool with toxic chemicals.
Or..,how about make it easier for people to get/stay thin, healthfully?
There is no sugar addiction.
so many Vloggers are sponsored by Rx Sugar, now
Thanks Thomas!
Thank you for this info! With Allulose actually helping the gut to PRODUCE GLP-1 (THIS IS WHAT OZEMPIC DOES SORT OF, DIFFERENCE IS OZEMPIC IS THE GLP-1) which helps people to feel "full" much faster than normal. The difference I suppose would be that a person would need to take allulose 2-3 times per day to be affective for weight loss.
If allulose is decreasing the amount of insulin, is the body still metabolizing the allulose? There was a study that showed artificial sweeteners told the brain sugar is coming, which in turn the brain told the pancreas to release insulin to eat up the sugar that's coming. When there was no sugar to consume, there was excess insulin floating around, which then made the brain trigger a craving response to make the body eat more food to use up the excess insulin. If allulose is a sugar, but decreases insulin, is the allulose still being eaten up, or is the excess going elsewhere and causing some other effect?
Good questions 💯
Allulose is not an artificial sweetener and does not get absorbed but excreted. It is what doctors give you in massive amounts to flush out your colon the night before a colonoscopy.
Artificial sweeteners, commonly used in diet foods and beverages, have been linked to insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes and belly fat accumulation. While the relationship between artificial sweeteners and insulin resistance is complex, research suggests that some artificial sweeteners may contribute to insulin resistance and belly fat.
Allulose like stevia, monk fruit, xylitol, erythritol are not artificial sweeteners like aspartame and Splenda/sucralose
I’ve been using it as you stated in past vid. It’s only been 3 wks so maybe that’s why I don’t see any difference yet. I workout and walk 13k each day. I track macros and calories.
Take care of your future health and find out why allulose was banned in Europe.
@chloebelle4923 please explain. Thank you
@@chloebelle4923it’s not banned per say…they are just testing before releasing it and branding and selling …nothing wrong with allulose
It is always good be light in a dark world. It is always good to be sense in a stupid world. It is always good to be health in a sick world. It is always good to be strength in a weak world.
Long term negative effects from all these refined sugar substitutes may offset any short term gains.
I’m convinced that taking artificial sweeteners not only caused me massive sweet cravings which I never had prior BUT they caused insulin resistance, which I didn’t have prior.
I dropped artifical sweetners and went with Stevia and honey. My stomach shrank and my taste buds are happy. Thomas, please do a video on Stevia
A more natural sweetener would be Manuka Honey which also visceral fat
Wow. Great news. Thanks. I just had Allulose - I have to have more of it in order to get sweet enough. Maybe that’s good - it will burn more fat. 😊
Thomas to his sponsors: "How full of shit do you want me to be?"
Sponsors:"Yes."
Thanks for this lecture on allulose and all your contribution to education and promoting a healthy lifestyle/keto, but I would like to ask you to devote one episode to tell us what is the healthiest sweetener to use(based on research and impact on the human body)? Recently there have been several negative studies regarding erythritol and few days ago about xylitol.
After this lecture im switching to allulose, but a sweetener comparison would be great;)
Cool, thanks for the info, however, don't expect miraculously fat loss by using this if you still are not in a caloric deficit, in the end is always calories in vs calories out. Best
Lost 50 lbs on keto.. clean eating. Never counting one calorie. But stayed true to my macros. 😊
@@KetoBaker007 it's very usual when on Intermittent fasting or keto that people lose weight because of eating high protein and fats makes you fuller faster and without insulin spikes, that's why, so you didn't notice that you were in a caloric deficit and that's great, being in that spot is what makes someone follows a diet for the long term, just like myself with Intermittent fasting. Best
There is also evidence that allulose can help protect against cancer. I'm working on a recipe for a tea with green tea, ginger, cinnamon, tumeric, black pepper and allulose. Trying to find a place where it's all palatable.
What are the downsides? There’s always downsides.
Yes! I need the whole picture!
I’ve seen some comments that large amounts cause GI upset. I use it and have never had an issue. It tastes great with no aftertaste.
Losing weight is downside for skinny people
It might age you faster
@@Brythemagicguy1 😱oh GREAT! I’m 77! May as well wear roller skates! Aging is happening fast enough, thank you!
a more correct validation of allulose is to swap the two groups and see if fat reduction follows the group or allulose. then you should also have some calorie control as part of the "experiment."
that being said, i'm good with "probably" :)
Fun fact: Splenda (aka Sucralose) is made from two ingredients - SUGAR AND GASOLINE!
It was an accidental discovery too.
What you think about monk fruit Thomas? This is what I use
Keep using it, since allulose is carcinogenic, hence why it was taken off the market in Canada and Europe.
Good stuff can't go wrong
Like any other sweetener, using too much will destroy gut health. I just don't get why sweeteners are used so much by so many people. The Stevia I bought in 2018 is still in the cupboard, used twice. (Wonder if I should throw it away)? 😂
Hello, love your channel. I looked up allulose in my local health food store and I found this online. They refused to carry it because they believe it is harmful. Here’s the info. Allulose is a rare sugar that only naturally occurs in a few foods in very small amounts. We do not know the impacts the commercially available, manmade version will have on human health and, in particular, the human microbiome, in larger amounts.
Commercially produced allulose is made through an enzymatic process with the starting materials of corn and sugar beets, both of which are commonly genetically modified. The enzymes used may also be produced from genetically modified microbes.[i] [ii]
Allulose is known to cause bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and with increasing doses may also cause more extreme symptoms such as nausea, headache, and loss of appetite.[iii]. Is this wrong? Can you explain? Thank you very much
We need more companies manufacturing allulose. I use it when I need a sweetener but it is super expensive and not very sweet so you have to use more volume of something super pricey. I end up adding monk fruit and stevia in small amounts to bump up the sweetness level
Nice timing, I bought allulose last week. Thanks for sharing Thomas. 👍🏻
At 5 - 10 grams Allulose adds very little sweetening to coffee or iced tea. The flavoring is almost insignificant at that dosage and should only be considered a food supplement. Fortunately, I have not experienced GI issues at the higher doses others have described. However, to use Allulose as a sweet flavoring I have to measure in tablespoons, not in portions of a teaspoon. That is probably not a healthy amount of Allulose to consume. Bummer, I was hoping I could have all the sweetness and health and fitness too.
Does anyone know if this is tasty? The only sugar alternative I have tried that I generally like the taste of is erythritol
Of all the sugar subs, my experience that this one is closest in taste to sugar.
How long until pharma gets this stuff banned?
I have been using stevia for about 15 years. Would allulose be a better option?
I like my 86% dark chocolate, a little of the T.DL nut butters from Thrive market, and sprinkle it with RX sugar!
It's been my new goto!
Always a product to sell from these health Hustlers!
Thanks for the discount I just went in and put a pretty big order in for a variety of items. I already have a package of powdered allulose I use but I was thrilled to see the different products I could get there and wanted to take advantage of the free shipping and the discount. Great video thanks so much!
just ordered. I lost 130pounds, kinda been eating sugary cereal dry stress eating. gained 10 pounds but i will loose quick. try adding this to my daily intake.
I see people in the ER with reactions to foods supplements etc
I truly have heard the opposite that it only takes a little like 1/2 tsp because it’s so sweet
Also people please when trying something new try a 1/2 tsp and see how you feel give it a few days pretty much like taking MCT oil build up a tolerance you don’t want to mess yourself
I’ve been reading a lot of reviews on Allulose most of them say it takes a large amount to make their drink taste sweet. Can you please come in on this? Thanks.
I just drank a cup of hot chocolate with equal amounts of cocoa powder and allulose. With added blend it was delicious.
They don’t give the free shipping as they advertise over $75 and not responding to emails
The only problem I ever had with Allulose is that it takes SOOOO much of it to sweeten your drinks or whatever it is you're used to using Splenda in. And it isn't cheap, either.
Thank you! Are there any noteworthy bad side effects of allulose?
I have a cast iron stomach, but more than 2T of allulose in a day (including honey and pancake syrup made with it from Wholesome Yum), and I'm on the toilet with diarrhea. It's so bad that I cut it with monkfruit now, or cut it out completely.
Gas, bloating, diarrhea. And it doesn't take much to cause it.
It's banned in Europe. As with every other non natural sweetener it's not good for you. Pure organic stevia with no additives is the best based on everything I've read. Monk fruit is next best, again, based on everything I've read.
One problem with Allulose is that it burns if you bake with it.
So does table sugar.
@@freddyt55555 Not nearly as much, and only at very high temperatures. You can make cakes, cookies, brownies, pancakes and waffles with sugar in the mix. You can't with Allulose.
I use an allulose and monk fruit blend for baking under the Lankanto brand
You should analyze the studies not just report them.
Often nutrition studies and studies funded by industry making the product have no statistical evidence supporting the claim they make.
The news article is a useless relative comparison without statistical significance.
Thank you!
I only use allulose as a sweetener. It is interesting that it helps you lose belly fat.
Can you do a video on the new study connecting xylitol to stroke?
The study that suggested a connection between Xylitol and heart disease was deeply flawed. The participants whose bodies couldn't easily flush Xylitol from their bloodstream were all at high risk for or had documented heart disease before the study. It seems more logical to me that the existing heart disease likely contributed to the heart attacks and strokes and not the short exposure to Xylitol.
@@krystlepoulin6382yeah and I couldn’t believe MDs on twitter citing that study to demonize xylitol. Isn’t science supposed to have repeatable studies? Not wait until you get the results you want and roll with it?
Correct.. however i believe the study was from erythritol, not xylitol @@krystlepoulin6382
It is toxic to dogs!
Simple truth has an allulose at frys. Smells natural like it come from figs instead of lab made
I actually use the brand of allulose noticed a enhancement of taste over sugar and stevia. But I hope to benefit from the weight loss benefits use it in coffee mainly the rx syrup is nice especially the flavored ones no creamer needed love allulose!
