I'm thrilled to hear the positive outcome for Alluslose and Monkfruit! I cannot stand Stevia except in very small amounts and mixed with something like Monkfruit. Thank you for addressing these two sugar substitutes.
So Dr., which one is better for diabetics to use between Allulose and Monk Fruit? I still can’t tell exactly. Thank you for your answer. By the way, I am watching almost everyone of your videos that I can find. You are the best diabetic doctor and educator that I’ve ever known. You just can’t imagine how many millions (around the entire world) of diabetic patients that your selfless efforts have benefited with your free but super-valuable educational videos. Thank you so, so, so much!
Allulose is derived from Drumroll, enzymatic conversion of corn. To boot, it states that the Allulose syrup is from genetically modified (GMO) corn and therefore contains a very toxic chemical named glyphosate.
Allulose for baking and ice cream, monk fruit for everything else. Allulose reacts most like sugar in baked goods and doesn't crystallize ice cream. Find an allulose that is NOT derived from corn.
I am pre diabetic and working hard to stay committed to a low card, whole food, exercise, no processed food lifestyle. I am slowly loosing my taste for sugar, but occasionally want a little goody. I use Natures Besti Allulose/monk fruit extract blend, by Wholesome Yum. I found it to be the best for making occasional sweet treats. Especially during the holidays. I am very happy to have found an alternative to sugar. Thank you Dr. Ergin for all your nutritional advice and guidance. 😊
Wow Dr. You must be psychic because I was just starting to research this topic.yay!!!!!! And how they work with baking was a nice touch. Thank you so much. Blessings to you and your family.
I didn't know about monk fruit and allulose, but it's very good news for diabetici. You help the diabetics with your video's. You are doing a rewarding job.🌹
Erythritol gives me bad stomach problems, is there a alternative that doesn’t do that. I suffered badly after eating one muffin made with this product. Hope there is something I can bake without suffering. Love your videos and great information. From Perth West Australia.
I found moon fruit blend with Erythritol was great for a few months until my body couldn’t handle it anymore and ran right through my system fast. I switched to Allulose in the coffee and have no problems
Are used monk fruit & erythriotol Blends in baking as well as in making desserts like tiramisu or ice cream and I've never had issues with them dissolving

Thanks Doc! I would love to see an updated video of Monk Fruit, Allulose and Erythritol. Recently, Erythritol was found to cause blood clots in new studies. Its very hard to find Monk fruit that is NOT mixed with some other compenents like Allulose or Erythritol here in the States
@@denisealex213 - I actually did and if you think that study was legit, I think YOU didn't understand it. We make erythritol, in our bodies, in the study they didn't really keep track if those people were ingesting erythriton in the first place, so how can they claim that dietary erythritol is harmful????
I am using both Monkfruit/Erythritol and allulose as sugar substitutes. I like the Monkfruit Sweetener much more than the allulose. I do have a concern on what the allulose can do to my gut bacteria.
For me monk fruit/erythritol win because here In Canada 11$ here at Costco gets you a 800g bag of the stuff while online for your 11$ you get a 240g bag and with it being only 0.7x as sweet as sugar allulose essentially is 4-5x the price of monk fruit/erythritol
Allulose for the win 🏆 I was using stevia then realized that stevia was NOT my friend😥 it gave me neuropathy symptoms. I kept getting pins and needles. When I realized it I immediately stopped using it but still have the symptoms just not as bad!! I've been using Allulose for almost a year now and am happy to report that I have NOT have any symptoms with this product and it taste great in your coffee to. I sadly wasn't reading labels before, but I sure do now!
@@CelticBearWoman It was the sweet leaf stevia. Was suppose to have been non GMO and gluten free. I can say that foot and ankle did not swell but instead got the pins and needle feeling pretty bad

Thank you very much!! You have presented a very easy to understand and incredibly informative video on Monk vs. Allulose - both of which I have been using for a while now to control my weight and pre-diabetes issues. As a result of your great information I have decided to use Allulose. Thanks very much for your help!!
Allulose/erythritol/monk fruit/stevia blend would be an excellent all-around sugar replacement. Watch this video for more information: ruclips.net/video/nUzcWr68kDE/видео.html
I use a product that uses both monkfruit and erythritol. It advertises a 1:1 comparison of sweetness to sugar. But I find that I only need to use half as much to sweeten like sugar. I don’t like stevia because I get an unpleasant aftertaste. Monkfruit rocks!

Used erythritol for a long time because it is natural and supposedly no problems...until there were. I am keeping my fingers crossed hoping the same doesn't happen to Allulose in a few years.
Monk fruit dissolves fantastically if you just stir it a bit more. I put a chunk of it in my lemon water and shake it good and it dissolves better than sugar which takes forever in cold water. And it doesn't taste horrible like other non nutritive sweeteners.

Same! I find monk fruit dissolves better than raw sugar in cold water--which I use every morning when making iced matcha. I love the golden one Lakanto makes, it's a great dupe for Sugar in the Raw.
I was using allulose, maybe a bit more than I should have, but started having issues with it. I had trouble breathing and dizziness. Didn't know why I was having symptoms like that, but then it dawned on me to look up Allulose, as those symptoms started happening at the time I was using it. Looked it up and sure enough those were two symptoms. Threw out the products that had that ingredient in it.
I make allulose pancakes almost every morning. bread, allulose, vanilla extract, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and egg whites in a blender. Texture and flavor very similar to real unhealthy pancakes 🥞
I am not diabetic I’m just trying to find a sweetener that I can use to help me to lose weight. I don’t want to go for sugar, so so doesn’t matter if you’re not diabetic.
"in vitro studies have shown that certain bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumonia are able to utilise allulose as a substrate. This finding has been a subject of concern, since Klebsiella pneumoniae represents an opportunistic human pathogen"

I was told not to eat anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup, but found out - too late - that my Allulose was made from Non-GMO Corn, and may have been the reason it effected my Liver negatively. Thank you.
Doc! Can you talk about Metformin and exercise? There has been a study that the two do not work hand in hand and may even be detrimental to each other. How should people doing both proceed?
I learned about monk fruit and allulose while searching for a keto icecream recipe. I hate stevia after taste and I need sweetener for tea and coffee. Which one monk fruit or allulose has a good taste? I have very sensitive taste buds and sensitive sense of smell. I should be working as a food taster 😅 But it is hard not finding anything to replace sugar.
My friend advised me to buy a small quantity of monkfruit sweetener at a natural foods grocer because you can buy a tiny amount from the bulk foods bins. So I did.

FYI: You probably should read in the journal "Nature Medicine" published March 6th, 2023, about a study linking the use of Erythritol to heart attacks and strokes. See CNN Health article published by Sandee Lamotte February 28th, 2023
I would like to see the grocery stores and convenient stores would carry drink with monk fruit instead of sugar.....there are so many pre - diabetics and diabetics why. Ot give us healthy sweetner alternatives.
A nutritionist said in a lecture that erythritol is worse than white sugar in his opinion. Allulose is not a sugar alcohol but seems to be similar. Is allulose bad if erythritol is also bad. Is Allulose a problem for people with IBS?
@@SugarMDs Yes it was very helpful I purchased a 50/50 mixture of monkfruit and allulose. I am a Turkisk Halva Addict, so will be using it to make a healthier version that is more along keto lines, but hopefully tasty enough to fool my sweet tooth 🙂
I bought rx sugar because my daughter is pre diabetic and we are changing our lifestyles in our household to essentially save hers. I bought rx sugar. Bc Tomorrow is Christmas and we usually make homemade raspberry lemonade. And I'm looking for substitutes for sugar for the lemonade. Would rx sugar be a good substitute in homemade lemonade?
Doctor Sugar. Hi, I just subscribed to your channel. I am type two diabetic and wondering if it would be a good idea to mix both Monk fruit and Alluslose? With this be a good combination for a type two diabetic? Ty video is very informative information for me. Thank you so very much. ✌️❤️
Thank you for your comment @candysmoonlight. Please watch this video which may give you the answer to your question: ruclips.net/video/nUzcWr68kDE/видео.html
If some or all of the allulose doesn't get metabolized and goes out the urine and feces, the first thing I think is whether having any type of sugar in the urine would make the environment in the bladder and kidney ripe for infection. What say you Dr. Sugar?
Yes. Because monk fruit takes up so much less physical space, it CANNOT be the sole sweetener used to bake. I have no idea about ratios/amounts with other sweeteners though. There's a well known and well enjoyed blend of monk fruit and erythritol, I don't personally like (but my brother does), made by a brand called lakanto. I suggest trying it. It's 1:1 sugar replacement in baking.

Great information, .Dr. I know this question doesn't belong here. Beat Diabetes video said that apples are a big no for diabetics, is that true? According do Dennis, no one can't eat anything anymore. Please advise, thanks Sir. He said no friuts.huh? He said no fruits, no carbs.
I did not exactly understand what you were saying. I use sugar in my coffee so to replace it do I use monk fruit with a arythratol? Is arythatol sweet and will that make it too sweet? Or do i use monk fruit with allulose or alone. Can you give me a precise answer? Thank you because i really need to know. I am still confused.
For coffee, use Monk Fruit + Allulose for smooth sweetness with no aftertaste. If you prefer a sugar-like feel, try Monk Fruit + Erythritol (may have a slight cooling effect). Adjust sweetness to taste. Consult your doctor if you have specific dietary concerns!
Or pure stevia powder can be used or pure monk fruit powder. Don't use a liquid sweetener in chocolate making because water and oil don't mix well. I make homemade chocolate and I mix pure monk fruit powder with the cocoa powder and dry milk powder (if using that too), then I mix the melted cocoa butter with the powders and whisk till dissolved.
Many are mixed with Erythritol, which is fine as it is a sugar alcohol and humans don't have the enzymes required to process it, so it basically goes out of your body the same way it came in - that's also why you don't count the carbs in the nutritional info when it comes to this ingredient ;)
two questions. Some people have said that monkfruit sweeteners will cause insulin to jump up higher on the next meal. Do you know of any studies that have shown that? next question is if allulose is disposed of through the urine, will long term use put any extra strain on the kidneys?
Good info! Subscribed. I'm not diabetic or pre-diabetic, but I've tried all of the sugar substitutes. My taste buds prefer Xylitol over all the others. I've had to throw out fresh baked goods because of the horrible taste when using Monk Fruit, Erythritol and Stevia. Just gross! Xylitol, on the other hand, tastes 98% like sugar and I bake sweet goods using it. Allulose is a close second, but still has a slightly weird taste to me.
Just be cautious with xylitol - it causes lethal insulin reactions in other animals (such as dogs and cats)... And *can* cause a blood sugar spike for some - but not for others; only a glucose test can tell you. But it's GREAT for oral health as most (all?) Bacteria eat it thinking it'll be like sugar and it's not - they starve to death.
I am a type 2 - non insulin dependent diabetic with congestive heart failure. I take Entresto, Farziga and Carvedilol. With diet, I am maintaining my blood glucose levels at or below 100. I tried a couple of products sweetened with Allulose and found that my blood glucose plummeted afterwards. 60 one time, 40 another. I threw out everything with Allulose as an ingredient.
Thank you for this. Do you notice that your blood sugar levels rise more 1hr after eating than when you eat food without any sweetener? Also have you tried monkfruit sweetener and what are it's results?
@@msp9810 I have not experienced a rise 1 hour after eating low carb or Allulose sweetened foods. I have tried a few things sweetened withmonkfruit and did not have any problems with it.

Allulose is derived from Drumroll, enzymatic conversion of corn. To boot, it states that the Allulose syrup is from genetically modified (GMO) corn and therefore contains a very toxic chemical named glyphosate.

Allulose for baking and ice cream, monk fruit for everything else. Allulose reacts most like sugar in baked goods and doesn't crystallize ice cream. Find an allulose that is NOT derived from corn.

Thank you for watching our videos. Hope that you are learning as you watch.
What are your thoughts on BochaSweet? It's not supposed to affect blood sugar, but it does mine. 😔
FYI: You probably should read in the journal "Nature Medicine" published March 6th, 2023, about a study linking the use of Erythritol to heart attacks and strokes. See CNN Health article published by Sandee Lamotte February 28th, 2023
There were no links. It was a badly run survey with many assumptions.
Survey?
I wouldn't believe anything from CNN!
So... My take away is an allulose/erythritol/monk fruit/stevia blend would be a very good all around sugar replacement... Right?
I agree.
I would avoid erythritol.... too problematic. Stick with monk fruit and allulose
I would like to see the grocery stores and convenient stores would carry drink with monk fruit instead of sugar.....there are so many pre - diabetics and diabetics why. Ot give us healthy sweetner alternatives.
A nutritionist said in a lecture that erythritol is worse than white sugar in his opinion. Allulose is not a sugar alcohol but seems to be similar. Is allulose bad if erythritol is also bad. Is Allulose a problem for people with IBS?
Not as bad as erythritol, but it can be tough on the digestive system if eaten in large amounts...monk fruit ftw
Excellent! Many thanks for sharing bro
You're welcome, @azdhan! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Keep tuning in for more content!
@@SugarMDs Yes it was very helpful I purchased a 50/50 mixture of monkfruit and allulose. I am a Turkisk Halva Addict, so will be using it to make a healthier version that is more along keto lines, but hopefully tasty enough to fool my sweet tooth 🙂
I bought rx sugar because my daughter is pre diabetic and we are changing our lifestyles in our household to essentially save hers.
I bought rx sugar. Bc Tomorrow is Christmas and we usually make homemade raspberry lemonade. And I'm looking for substitutes for sugar for the lemonade. Would rx sugar be a good substitute in homemade lemonade?
Doctor Sugar. Hi, I just subscribed to your channel. I am type two diabetic and wondering if it would be a good idea to mix both Monk fruit and Alluslose? With this be a good combination for a type two diabetic? Ty video is very informative information for me. Thank you so very much. ✌️❤️
Thank you for your comment @candysmoonlight. Please watch this video which may give you the answer to your question: ruclips.net/video/nUzcWr68kDE/видео.html
Was there any problem with the gut health when using the allulose ?
Where I can buy them please ,thank you doc
If some or all of the allulose doesn't get metabolized and goes out the urine and feces, the first thing I think is whether having any type of sugar in the urine would make the environment in the bladder and kidney ripe for infection. What say you Dr. Sugar?
I use a blend of both monk fruit and allulose and they actually lower blood sugar!
Which is better for DIY cocktail liqueur and Simple Syrup used for cocktails
Thank you for this video but do I have to mix monk fruit with something else to bake? I want to try in baking but have no idea the ratio.
Yes. Because monk fruit takes up so much less physical space, it CANNOT be the sole sweetener used to bake. I have no idea about ratios/amounts with other sweeteners though. There's a well known and well enjoyed blend of monk fruit and erythritol, I don't personally like (but my brother does), made by a brand called lakanto. I suggest trying it. It's 1:1 sugar replacement in baking.
@@ae31860 thank you I will do some research.
I have never seen a total monk fruit brand, it always comes with erythritol so you can use it as 1:1 ratio like the doc said.
There is now a monk fruit/allulose product by Lakanto
... but allulose burns easier then sugar, which can cause bitterness... lower the temperature!
good day doc., may I ask if I can eat the monggo everyday.thanks.
Here's a helpful video for you:

Do they affect insulin but not blood sugar
Thanks for information

Great information, .Dr. I know this question doesn't belong here. Beat Diabetes video said that apples are a big no for diabetics, is that true? According do Dennis, no one can't eat anything anymore. Please advise, thanks Sir. He said no friuts.huh? He said no fruits, no carbs.
Would a Monk fruit/Erythritol blend sweetener break a fast?
Where can I find monkfruit without other aditives?
Lakanto has liquid drops which is only monkfruit and a natural citrus extract
I did not exactly understand what you were saying. I use sugar in my coffee so to replace it do I use monk fruit with a arythratol? Is arythatol sweet and will that make it too sweet? Or do i use monk fruit with allulose or alone. Can you give me a precise answer? Thank you because i really need to know. I am still confused.
For coffee, use Monk Fruit + Allulose for smooth sweetness with no aftertaste. If you prefer a sugar-like feel, try Monk Fruit + Erythritol (may have a slight cooling effect). Adjust sweetness to taste. Consult your doctor if you have specific dietary concerns!
I don't use monk fruit anymore because of the erythrothnol because of the recent studies, now i only use allulose.
There is now a monk fruit/allulose product by Lakanto... without erythritol!
Now I know why the monk fruit is not dissolving in coconut oil on double boiler when I make home made chocolate bars. I should use allulose?
Yep
Yes. Just be careful because allulose burns at high temps and makes food taste bitter....
Or pure stevia powder can be used or pure monk fruit powder. Don't use a liquid sweetener in chocolate making because water and oil don't mix well. I make homemade chocolate and I mix pure monk fruit powder with the cocoa powder and dry milk powder (if using that too), then I mix the melted cocoa butter with the powders and whisk till dissolved.
What if I don't have diabetes can I use that.?
Monk fruit is one of the traditional Chinese medicines, for dry throat sort of problems.
Yes it had medicinal features. Thank you Nomade
@@SugarMDs
Love your information. I have been diabetes for many years. Thank you
Thanks for the sweet info.
Of course Celara. Anytime
I'm curious about the effects of Monk Fruit and Allulos sweetners on your arteries and veins. Does it show up as plaque?
But Doc ,the monk fruit sweetener I bought is mix with erythritol , it's is ok?
Many are mixed with Erythritol, which is fine as it is a sugar alcohol and humans don't have the enzymes required to process it, so it basically goes out of your body the same way it came in - that's also why you don't count the carbs in the nutritional info when it comes to this ingredient ;)
@@alpoulin1 Thanks for the input!
@@alpoulin1 Thanks 😊.
More studies are showing erythritol as being more problematic.
two questions. Some people have said that monkfruit sweeteners will cause insulin to jump up higher on the next meal. Do you know of any studies that have shown that?
next question is if allulose is disposed of through the urine, will long term use put any extra strain on the kidneys?
With insulin one high spike doesn't say much. The area under the curve over a longer period is important
Probably not with pure monk fruit.
Good info! Subscribed. I'm not diabetic or pre-diabetic, but I've tried all of the sugar substitutes. My taste buds prefer Xylitol over all the others. I've had to throw out fresh baked goods because of the horrible taste when using Monk Fruit, Erythritol and Stevia. Just gross! Xylitol, on the other hand, tastes 98% like sugar and I bake sweet goods using it. Allulose is a close second, but still has a slightly weird taste to me.
Just be cautious with xylitol - it causes lethal insulin reactions in other animals (such as dogs and cats)... And *can* cause a blood sugar spike for some - but not for others; only a glucose test can tell you. But it's GREAT for oral health as most (all?) Bacteria eat it thinking it'll be like sugar and it's not - they starve to death.
I'm very aware of Xylitol. I don't have to worry about any of that.

What about monk fruit and stevia combinations
Good if you like it
I am a type 2 - non insulin dependent diabetic with congestive heart failure. I take Entresto, Farziga and Carvedilol. With diet, I am maintaining my blood glucose levels at or below 100. I tried a couple of products sweetened with Allulose and found that my blood glucose plummeted afterwards. 60 one time, 40 another. I threw out everything with Allulose as an ingredient.
Thank you for this. Do you notice that your blood sugar levels rise more 1hr after eating than when you eat food without any sweetener?
Also have you tried monkfruit sweetener and what are it's results?
@@msp9810 I have not experienced a rise 1 hour after eating low carb or Allulose sweetened foods. I have tried a few things sweetened withmonkfruit and did not have any problems with it.
Can you recommend a good tasting allulose product??? So far i have not liked the taste but want to!
Is it therapeutoc if I have a 1,500 blood level of Thoamine with Diabetes?
What's high does? I put some in my chia water to sweeten it up.
