We just started to use All- U-Lose. No weird after taste so we love it.
See, when I went vegetarian, then later vegan, I also dropped "sweetened things". I don't use any sweetener and in the occasional deserts we have (rare), we like to use (drum roll please) sugar. But, we might make two apple pies a year. So, it's dietetic non-issue for us. Thanks again for a great video!!!
Well this would explain why my morning coffee has been ending a bit more explosively than usual 😂. Gotta use that formula and back off a bit, I suppose. Thanks Doc and Team!
Excellent, as always.
I saw a recent study showing allulose to be more glycating of protein than fructose, which is five times more glycating than glucose. Since glycation contributes to protein damage and aging, would you avoid allulose as harmful for that reason? Look at the study entitled "Microwave glycation of soy protein isolate with rare sugar (D-allulose), fructose and glucose"
I've been using allulose for about 6 years now. I had horrible IBS stemming from ischemic colitis, and joint pains from who knows what, since I wasn't a soda drinker or really ever liked sugary foods and drinks .I don't use much, but it tastes great in lemonade, which I love having all year long. It helps with my digestive tract and I've not been on any meds in 5 1/2 years for digestive issues. I'm not saying allulose helped, but I'm not saying it's a coincidence either. I love it in my chicory coffee as well. It mellows it out a bit and enhances umani for me. My husband is type 1 diabetic so we do a whole food plant based high carb diet (I do keto version with nuts and other whole food plant fats, not oils) and I add allulose when recipes calls for dates or bananas to sweeten because it tastes like the unhealthy version when I add allulose 😁
We don't do sweets often, but for a treat on holidays or birthdays, it's a great substitute for dates and bananas. Dates and bananas just makes everything so heavy sometimes and no matter what you add, it tastes like dates and bananas 😂
Allulose and azuki beans makes a great fudge! One way to get some beans into picky eaters 😄😄😄
Just cook the beans and add some allulose and blend them up and refrigerate or freeze (It's delicious in the summer but add a bit of plant milk and stick it in a ice pop mold) for few hours. It's a great way to have beans when tired of curries and stews and soups on a hot day. My husband loves it.
Interesting allulose uses Jun. Where'd you find these recipes...I want to try since I just purchased a 2lb bag of Allulose on Amazon!
@@wallace4932 azuki beans are red beans which are really popular used in chinese sweet bakery. Boil the raw red beans until soft and smash them like mash potatoes and add the allulose for a very healthy dessert.
Keep using Allulose!! Dr Perlmutter and Dr Bikman talked about how Allulose lowers uric acid and helps with insulin sensitivity.
Monk fruit extract is my sweetener of choice for coffee and tea.
I love your videos lol. So wholesome.
Love allulose and will continue to use it ❤️
Allulose acts as a GLP-1 agonist.
Hi Dr Greger, I would love if you could make a video on Interstitial cystitis? I've recently been diagnosed and would love to hear any thoughts or studies you may have. Thanks for your amazing videos!
I have IC too. What I've personally found is that purines seem to play a role. Purines are mostly in foods from the SAD diet, but also a few vegetables like asparagus. I don't think there's any data on this for IC though. While watching my purine intake has helped me, it's also just my experience I'm going off of.
@@smudge8882 thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate it very much. I will definitely be looking into this. Take care! 💜
@@urrrsula Good luck and I hope you're able to figure things out. :)
Hi, Just reading this, so hope you’re doing well. I was diagnosed many years ago (1980’s), and actually went to see Dr. Larrian Gillespie, whom at that time was the only one I knew of that was addressing this. Long story, but I really responded to her advice - followed her diet plan and drank Evian water. High histamine foods was creating most of my issues. I can now say I’m symptom free. Keep searching and you’ll figure out what works best for you.
@@TheToberman1 thank you so much for responding! That's so helpful and I will most definitely look more into this. I had a quick look and never thought that perhaps peanuts could be a culprit (which I eat a fair bit of in peanut butter), I do know that I have very bad reactions to many nuts to the point that I only seem to manage almonds and lo and behold, they seem to be low in histamine compared to the others... Interesting! I really appreciate your input 💜 my symptoms are still on and off, I have identified many triggers but I must still have some that trigger me in bouts. Lots of thanks and love!
I bought Wholesome Yum Allulose/Monk Fruit from Amazon and I couldn't understand why my coffee tasted weird until I stopped this product. I had to buy a different sweetener from Amazon, just organic Monk Fruit and enjoying coffee again. I also had stomach bloat when I used the Allulose , only 2 tsps. daily. Now I have a half bag left. Some says it leaves no aftertaste but it did for me.
I tried allulose for the first time a few months ago. It didn't seem to be very sweet for some reason even though the package said you could use it like regular sugar. The notion of "artificial" and "natural" doesn't mean anything.
Like Dr G says, it's only 70% as sweet as table sugar, so you have to use more
This morning was my 1st time using allulose & it had me running to the bathroom for hours with extreme stomach pain. I was fasting & used it in my morning coffee. I usually use Stevia. It was recommended for me to use allulose because I've been using much more Stevia lately & allulose isn't as sweet. Yea, not as sweet, so I couldn't taste it this morning mixed in my coffee. I got up to 7 tsp of allulose & non dairy creamer. Tasted off, so I added 1 tsp of Stevia. That made my thermos of coffee drinkable for my personal taste. Think I typically use 7tsp of Stevia in my coffee, which friends say is too much sweetness that's why I tried something else. Well, I'm going back to my 7tsp or less of Stevia and throwing the allulose away. My son used it as well this morning at the same time as me & his stomach has been upset, not having severe diarrhea as his mother, smdh. I bought it on Amazon thinking, why can't I find allulose in the stores in ATX?? Thought the price was reasonable from It's Just Allulose brand on Amazon. I'll never use it again, hate I tried it, & am quite disappointed! Not sure how others can tolerate baking with allulose at all.
does the allulose hv the same taste as sugar? i dont really like stevia bcuz of the slight bitter taste
Tried two teaspoons of Allulose in my coffee and within a couple of hours had uncontrollable bowel movement six times. I didn’t give up. Took two tablespoons of ground chia and flax seeds to coat and feed my microbiome in the intestine before every meal. Tried Allulose again, and my gut was fine. Problem solved with my gut much healthier.
@@reyrey4261 Hi there. Is this still working out for you? Am curious, as I am trying to find a replacement for my husband who uses TOO much sugar in his coffee and others haven't been to his liking. I was concerned after watching this, but we do both take 2 TBS of chia daily. If I have him try it, I'll certainly make sure it's a day he has off work. Am glad you've figured out how to balance.
Psicose. The psycho audio clip. hysterical. 😂😂💚💚
I switched over from regular sugar to allulose for about a month. This was limited to about 2 teaspoons a day in my tea. After about 3 weeks I began to notice a constant weird taste in my mouth - somewhat metallic, but mostly chemical-like and familiar, and my pee and poo began to have a strong off putting smell. Once I stopped using allulose , after about 3 days the odd mouth taste went away and the body smells also faded.
Were there any other effects you noticed?
Hey wondering if you could do a video on if calcium is ok from fortified foods as most use calcium carbonate. I understand you have talked about why not to use supplements so wondering if this is the same thing. Also would algae calcium be a valid alternative? Thanks
Calcium carbonate is just CaCO2, so when you ingest it it's a simple reaction that breaks down into Ca and CO2, which is calcium and carbon dioxide. Nothing harmful or dangerous
@@alekseyvalentinov9361 Hi thanks for the reply, but its my understanding that both calcum phosphate and calcium carbonate are whats used in calcium supplements, they are also used in calcium fortified foods. Dr Greger has made a fair few videos on why you should consume calcium supplements.
I gave it three successive tries and all three times it played hell with my digestive system. Allulose is NOT for everyone.
All these sweetener replacer seems to be made from mostly corn. Not even organic corn.
Allulose gives me extreme stomach pain. Feel like I've eaten glass. I'll stick with Stevia or Monk fruit once or twice a day.
To me, sucralose doesn't sweeten, it masks. it makes everything taste like sucralose. My tea tastes not like tea, but sucralose. Different varieties of tea-Earl Grey, jasmine, Yorkshire, etc-all taste the same and taste like sucralose. Even without the health issues, it does not do what I, at least, want it to do.
It's @ 3:26
What about stevia?
Go to his video on stevia.
Allulose tastes WAY better than stevia
Is there a strain of gut bacteria that will help digest allulose? It would be great if you could do an episode.
Allulose is awesome.
All of these corn syrup type sweeteners Maltodextrin Erytritol, Dextrose ect .Cause gut issues leasing to insulin resistance big beer belly mental problems like anxiety depression and insomnia. Other than that they're great for the corn industry.
It’s hard to see the Hebrew translation
International Society of Rare Sugars?
Would be fun to use that line when people say, "So, what kind of work are you in?" 🤣
Best sweetener is just eat some fruit. You don't need added sugar just like you don't need added salt or added fat. Your taste buds will adjust and after a couple weeks you'll start tasting actual food again.
Fruits are great but I can't do the sweet fruits because of my genetic liver condition. I do some sour fruits and neutral low carb fruits like zucchini, egg plants, tomatoes, peppers, passion fruit on occasion. I am low carb WFPB so having allulose as an option works for me. It makes lemonade taste amazing 😁
@@AvaJun You have the very hereditary fructose intolerance (fructosemia)?
You don't need fruit either
Fat from meat is GOOD stop spending lies that are 70 years old. People have been eating lots of meat for centuries and is far and again better fir health than today's best gmo vegetables!
No one ever professed to “need sugar” that goes without saying. But we are addicted to it as a society
Sounds promising, but why not stick with erythritol? What's the benefit?
It tastes way better than erythritol, in my opinion. It also has potential health benefits not shared by erythritol, which it sounds like will be the topic of the next video.
You can have both.
@@davin8r Interesting...I'll have to try it. But Erythritol has a longer history of safe use, right?
The fart causing sweetener replacer… 😐
@@user-bv7mk8id5t It's not fart-causing. Erythritol is not metabolized by the gut microbiome.
Dr Greger, thanks for the information. I was going to purchase a bag of this sweeter but after this video I’ve decided against it. Doesn’t seem to good for our bodies and far from being “natural”.
If you were planning to eat 15 teaspoons per day or more, then it might give you diarrhea and nausea. Used in reasonable amounts, not only is it safe but it also may have health benefits (see next video).
🧡🙏
Is it healthy, what does that mean for sweeteners, - in one or two sentences - is it safe. Dump truck load probably not, two or three teaspoons, okay.
Do you really HAVE to do cliffhangers like this? Explain.
Eat more fruits including dried fruits and take care of your dental care because they are sticky.
Good point! About the only downside with allulose (aside from the cost) is that it still maintains one's "sweet tooth" and thus keeps you craving sweet things. If you can break the sweet habit altogether (and good luck!), then you won't need added sweeteners, natural or otherwise.
@@davin8r "The sweet craving" is perfectly normal for a primate with a frugivore anatomy, sweet is the most sensitive taste in our mouth by far for a reason, it is not a mistake of nature and evolution.
When we crave sweet, it mean our body want ripe fruits or other similar sweet natural foods but is mostly fruits.
"Sweet natural living" channel video: "HOW TO STOP SUGAR CRAVINGS AND STAY HEALTHY EVERY DAY"
@@Julottt of course it's normal from evolution, but thousands of years ago we didn't have pies, cookies, cakes, etc readily available to artificially overwhelm the system and get us addicted to unhealthy sweets.
@@davin8r I think the body of people who are "addicted" to sweet (who crave it a lot and often) just want fruits because they dont eat enough of this perfectly suited food for our frugivore anatomy.
@@Julottt fruits don't activate the pleasure centers of the brain nearly as powerfully as modern junk foods engineered specifically for that purpose. It's analogous to coca leaves vs crack cocaine.
Yes! Diarrhea for some.
Sugar free redbull made me sick as a kid
Yes... Diarrhea
No thanks!
not exactly health food, avoid it is the best course of action.
only in america they like artificial stuff and drugs instead of eating healthy.
If you need to sweeten your food your priorities are out of wack. Food is not about pleasure, pleasure is for degenerates imo.
