    At the height of my sugar addiction, 7 tsp a couple of times a day would not have even put a dent in my sweet consumption. Giving up added sweeteners until fruit tastes sweet again is the best way to go for me - I dropped 175 pounds and reversed Diabetes 2 by going whole foods plant based.

    Allulose sounds fantastic, and I made a few pies for Thanksgiving using allulose as a substitute for some of the sugar. However I've hit a conceptual snag.
    I bought Simple Truth (house brand for King Sooper and Kroger) allulose, but it was a bit more than I wanted to pay. I found All-U-Lose brand in 5 pound bags for a better price. However I checked with the All-U-Lose company, and while the product is packaged in the USA, the enzymatic process that turns fructose into allulose is done in china (there's no indication on the packaging this is so). And Simple Truth brand says "Product of China" on the bag.
    Sorry, but I don't trust Chinese businesses for anything I put into my body. China lacks food safety regulations, and profit is king. While many Chinese business owners do the right thing, there are too many stories of weird substitutes to save money. How do I know some profit-minded business hasn't added a bit of lead acetate (or something else), because it's cheaper than allulose. The point is, in the past Chinese products have systematically poisoned people and pets, or polluted indoor air.
    I need to get back on my hunt for allulose that is manufactured somewhere in the world where food safety regulations exist and are enforced.

    I truly appreciate your synopsis of this rare sugar. I discovered it just recently and was truly amazed. I have been morbidly obese for decades, mostly due to my severe sugar addiction. Interestingly, at 53, I've never developed diabetes or any other comorbidity, so motivation for quitting sugar has pointed to primarily aesthetic reasons. In addition, I detest any other sweetener, including monk fruit and erythritol. I don't consume much allulose, but I've found it a helpful tool in battling my addiction to sugar. I look forward to more studies and applications.

    I am frustrated by people who hear an obscure possible side effect, like how Allulose was found to cause urinary tract infections in people who are diabetic and have low immunity and decide it is dangerous without pondering what they heard. These same people will continue adding a spoonful of sugar as if it is completely safe! I am having a difficult time influencing the person who mainly controls what I eat, and she is the pre-diabetic in the house!!!!

    Rapeseed oil is non GM whilst Canola oil is GM so there is a greater difference than just the name of the seed!

    • @powerinbeing4912
      @powerinbeing4912 15 дней назад

      Hello there!
      Canola oil is an industrially rebranded oil refined from low erucic acid rapeseeds; modified into supposedly, an edible oil.
      Can=Canada, ola= low acid oil.
      If the seeds are GMO, then the oil is more likely than not GMO.
      One might find a properly labeled Organic version refined from Non-GMO rapeseeds.
      Still, canola is a highly marketed refined, bleached, deodorized (RBD) oil, unless it’s proven to be otherwise.
      I hope that this helps.

    I have some allulose. It was in my cabinet for months because when I first tried it I didn't think it tasted all that great. Now I've started using it again because if its alleged impact on blood sugar levels. But there remains a problem: as far as I can tell, it's not a sweetener. I can put 20 grams in my morning coffee and can't detect even a hint of sweetness. 20 grams is a couple of tableware teaspoons heaped high. So now I'm using it with green tea (which I hate the taste of) and my morning coffee, but I'm regarding it has a medicine or dietary supplement rather than as a sweetener. Maybe I just have a bad brand of it, but I doubt that's the case.

      I heated an allulose syrup and it hardens like sucrose, and it is definitely sweet there, so maybe as a baking substitute to cut but not totally replace sucrose it could work since the heated product acts like table sugar since it is a sugar.

    I drove 35 minutes to drug emporium to buy Allulose today and I was happy to be able to finally find it. I have it in my tea right now. But once you said "Lowered cholesterol" I'm having second thoughts on whether I should continue to use it, or at least finish the bag that I bought today. I was actually working on raising my cholesterol the good and the "bad" and becoming healthier. So it appears that using this sweetener would be contraindicated.
    Edit: before someone calls me crazy for wanting my cholesterol to be higher, do some real research and learn what the mainstream is hiding from you. Also, people lowered their cholesterol eating Oreo cookies!! So lowering cholesterol doesn't seem like a good thing to me just by knowing that fact! Let alone what I heard firsthand from scientists explaining the LDL scam they pushed, and still pushing, on people.

    I rarely agree with Michael Greger. But I do believe that none of the artificial sweeteners are really good for human beings. But I think that both "seed oils" and sugar, especially added sugar, are problematic. I am a retired physician and a carbohydrate addict. A ketogenic diet has done wonders for my health. I do believe that for at least 800,000 years, man existed primarily on the ingestion of animal flesh and that animal flesh is likely the "species-specific" diet for human beings. But Greger's nutritional advice is infinitely better than the so called "Stanard American Diet".

      While I am dreadfully against any artificial sweetener, I am not against allulose. There is a tremendous difference between rare and artificial. We have been somewhat programmed by evolution to accept allulose since some of the foods we eat contain this. Had it been poison when first enountered that would be a different story. So I am going to go ahead and start taking allulose as right now I have moved to dextrose since it has no fructose in it. Not quite as sweet as sugar so I need to add slightly more but I wish to make some allulose fudge and cinnamon rolls and keep my weight down while pigging out. Something tells me it will probably be about as sweet as dextrose so for me a good substitute.

    Wow, could this guy be any more sarcastic and arrogant. A small amount of allulose will kill a thirty pound dog. So will chocolate. And just because something is not all natural, does not mean it does not work and conversely all natural does not automatically make something safe. Rattlesnake venom is all natural, antivenom is not. I don't know if allulose is safe or not, but this guy has preconceived notions and anecdotes, I myself am looking for facts. I'll move on now.
