Allulose

Good

Allulose is a low-calorie carbohydrate that can help with weight control and diabetes. It's also different from other sugars because it's not metabolized in the same way as table sugar. Allulose has the following benefits:

Fewer calories: Allulose has fewer calories than table sugar.

Blood sugar: Allulose produces only small increases in blood glucose or insulin levels.

Dental decay: Allulose doesn't promote dental decay.

Liver fat: A study found that allulose suppressed enzymes that promote the formation of liver fat in rats.

Bad

Allulose can cause digestive discomfort, such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea, if consumed in large quantities.

Weight gain

Excessive and continuous intake of allulose may cause weight increases in the liver and kidney.

Limited history of use

Allulose is regarded as a novel food ingredient in Europe and Canada because it has a limited history of use in food.

Allulose is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
