You should buy some allulose sweetener without a lot of other ingredients in it and try that on its own in your coffee or tea. See what the results are.
I have spent over 30 years in and out of Overeaters Anonymous, other 12-step programs, Weight Watchers , and too many diets to count. Even went to a meeting where the group would oink at anyone who gained weight (just one visit to that meeting.)
I’m 75 and had developed a raging food addiction. I have gained and lost hundreds of pounds since I was in my 30’s. The official high was 289 and current 136.
I have learned many things over the years. One of the most important is not to use any kind of sweetener. No sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no nothing. (I’m human and have done a little of course.) I get sweet tasting treats and I’m off to the races. Just ask Weight Watchers how many boxes of snack bars I have purchased. I always bought extra so I could eat a box on the way home. For me, even tasty Keto treats are off the menu. If I had one or two, I would eat them all.
Thanks to my faith in God and “finding” Dr Boz I am no longer a slave to my mind’s obsession. Dr Boz outlines exactly what to do in her books and her videos.
I can’t do the sweet taste in any form and don’t want to.
My only daily sweet is my Sweet Tea.
Black Tea (WalMart Great value brand) sweetened with "Pure Sweet" brand of white stevia powder.
One heaping 1/2 teaspoon makes a gallon of very sweet tea (takes even less for coffee).
Started this 18 months ago, now down 40# and long time high blood pressure is now normal.
I drink about a gallon of the tea every day x 365
I am on board with your distrust of sweeteners. 👍
Understanding the mechanism of action of GLP 1 agonist might offer a clut🤔
Dr Mobeen does an excel Dijon explaining it in a recent video👍
I agree. No sweets period is the way I have to go. Thanks for sharing.
I am a type 1 diabetic. I've recently been making keto marshmallows by whipping up only gelatin with allulose in it, and I haven't had to take any insulin for going on 5 days now. My blood sugars are in the 70s to 80s in the morning, and don't go past 120 in the daytime. I usually only see those numbers when I do 36-72 hr fasts. I find that my appetite has gone down immensely, and my ketones are staying in between 1-2mmol/L. I've been researching allulose and gelatin, and both of those ingredients increase glp-1. I honestly can not believe it. I've never gone this long without insulin, and I've been giving close attention to my glucose and ketones. I think this is happening because I am very active as a figure skater and coach, eat mainly meat, and since my appetite has gone down with the "marshmallows", my blood sugars stay in range. I usually have a very high appetite and can eat over 2,000 calories with no problem. Which is always a struggle to lose weight. Recently, I've only been able to eat about 1,200-1,500 calories.
This video has helped me confirm that allulose does help with blood sugars and appetite.
thanks!! i will try that as well
🎉🎉🎉
Any change in blood pressure?
There are many ingredients in the bars, not just allulose.
Yes, I've had reactions similar to this with the ultra-processed keto junk food (which tastes great!). I'm going to try and add some straight allulose to my LMNT water that I use for taking my morning herb & vitamin pills.
Good point… Minneapolis can’t even be hidden within the rules
@michelemeissner4435 ???
When I added Allulose as a sweetener to my ketogenic diet, my liver enzymes tripled!!! That was the only substitution I made. It is made from corn (maybe GMO?). I've learned to be wary of ANY sugar substitutes.
Good to know. Thank you!
They have non gmo
A couple of years ago my liver enzyme tripled after seriously doing keto and quite a bit of fasting. I wasn’t using allulose. Not sure why they shot up, but the numbers are great now and I have added allulose.🤷♀️
@@cynthiaproffitt8326 I had a heart attack when I went vegan.🤷♂
@@6140LIBRA Vegan isn't healthy at all.
Any sweet taste throws me into full carb addict mode. I love the peace of mind of having no chronic hunger and cravings.
I would like to see this repeated with equivalent amount of allulose and water.
The bar may be an option if you focused only on Sugar -however, your body has a reaction to one of the other ingredients used to make this processed bar (*soluble tapioca fiber, *"proprietary" vegan protein, "vague" natural flavors). The consistent message of reading the ingredients does not stop after you determine what type of sugar/sweetener product(s) are being used. For as many carbs this bar has (18g) @$1.62 per bar/piece 28g, doesn't seem worth the cost or physical reaction your body has to it.
Allulose is a great option - Figure out how to make it yourself so you can control the ingredients you're body has an allergic reaction
This
Do you know how to make allulose? Would love to know - thanks!
@terfalicious allulose is an alternate sugar ... you can't make it but can buy it.
For me, I don't have any body reactions. It makes a good caramel if you want to make keto "crack" (with chocolate on top). It works nice for making condensed milk (2 cups cream + 1 cup allulose). It works good for ice cream or if you are a cream & sugar coffe person. RUclips has many video options for using allulose in food. It's not as sweet (70%), but it does provide better volume when baking than stevia or monk fruit. My experience is monk fruit doesn't bake/heat well -I think it's better when it stays cold/room temp
If it was me, and not reading the ingredients, I'd say it was a corn reaction. I'm very sensitive to corn products and that is exactly how i feel when i unintentionally consume them.
Same experience with both powdered and liquid Allulose, 2 different brands including RX… next day puffiness, and gut inflammation. Have tried a few times with same result. Drat 🤨
Same, sugarholic, food addict actually, I have eaten 3 12inch subs at one sitting 😔 I have the edema if I am not very careful and right now only weigh 148 thanks to keto and fasting but still have NAFLD and insulin resistance and heart blockages and just had CABG surgery during the heighth of COVID and it was horrific. Stay strong everyone 🙌
If I had such a reaction, I would suspect it contained something that my body did not tolerate. As I normally «swell up» from food-intolerance.
I got the bars for my husband. I like the taste they came me a massive stomach ache for hours. I believe for me it is because allulose is corn based. My husband is doing great with them. Ty for sharing your experience.
I have the same problem with Allulose. Had stomach pain plus had to be close to the bathroom because my bowels would empty out like water.
@debjayne3298 that's disappointing. Ben Bickman the scientist spoke so highly of allulose. Sounds like it works for some and not all.
Try xylitol
Dr. Boz, thank you for sharing your experience with this. I agree with some others that it could just as easily be one of the other ingredients you reacted to. However, I have been trying the allulose syrup and having a similar experience. The thing I learned from others' comments that I didn't realize, is that it's derived from corn, which is something my body revolts against. So thanks Dr Boz, and thank you to everyone who shares such helpful comments on her videos. I learn nearly as much by reading your experiences and thoughts!
I am delighted to find a way to get cinnamon in most every day. I mix allulose with a lot of cinnamon and have a spoon of the mixture. :)
Sometimes I will mix a little with cream cheese.
I'll try the iice cream with egg whites soon.
As you are sharing, perhaps allulose is the reason for my clothes getting too loose! It's a good thing.
My bad habits are gone too! I am so content!
Although it doesn’t spike blood sugar, the body senses it’s sugar and processes it accordingly. Lily’s chocolates do the same for me.
Simple, sugar is sugar. This sugar didn't spike glucose levels. But that's on the metabolic level. Swelling can take place on the extracellular level, so the body still reacted in the typical way of retaining water. That's my thinking anyway.
Doc, Great information!. Question? What was the highest A1C and blood sugar reading you have ever had? Thanks
Allulose gives me terrible insomnia!!!! I am allergic to Stevia...Just can't do these sugar subs. Each new "wonder sugar sub" seems worse than sugar...and sugar is bad for me....I just gotta say NO!
So I am not the only one who can't use Stevia, I feel sick on it. Aspartame is raw poison to my body as well and causes migraine and vomiting.
Good info. But let me ask this. You only tried it one time and came to a conclusion, correct? One day does not make a trend or does not do much for "proof". What if you waited a few days, then tried it again. This seems too easy of a correlation to me. I would a agree that if it did it a second time, that would be proof of the cause.
This is interesting I have a friend on the ozempic she always complains about swelling in her legs. She does still love her sugar.
I used to consume allulose too in the beginning of the Keto journey to help breaking through the addiction, because it tastes virtually identical to sugar. I'm carnivore now and I don't use it anymore. It did help, but looking in retrospective, I'm not entirely sure if it was really a good choice. My theory is: the molecule is very, very, very similar to normal sugar. If it lowers the blood sugar after consumption without any exercise involved, it did trigger an insulin response 100% for sure, which I would attribute to the chemical similarity. The body was basically tricked to do the same thing it would do for sugar. This part is pretty clear to me and is already a red flag. The second issue, but here is a wild guess from my side, is that maybe the glucose monitors are not able to detect this kind of sugar in our blood and it may be just floating around in that different chemical shape, but doing things similar to glucose. It is probably still better than sugar (not very hard...) because of the lower calories count, but I'm not convinced we should consume this in an insulin resistant state.
@VictorSchroder
I absolutely agree and wonder about the sugar similarity points. I personally don't believe in the concept of an "overweight diabetic." I say this because when I became resistant I went from 220 to140 with little activity. I wasn't processing sugar, so it wasn't converted to energy hence fat stores were used. If someone is taking insulin flooding and increasing resistance while still consuming sugar then yes... they will be overweight, but calling it "diabetes" rather than resistance I think is fundamentally wrong.
I think what's possible here is that this is a "type" of sugar which prompts insulin that the body may not be resistant to.
Yet
It's a short term solution to a bigger problem. Much like with agave nectar, glycemic index does not calculate to glycemic load. Lastly "calories" mean jack all, unless your digesting your food in a vacuum. Look up the history on that, the measurement is utterly irrelevant. What isn't irrelevant is chemical temperature reaction. I would no more eat a salad without a h8gh fat component then try to light a grill without lighter fluid or some accelerant.
I worried about that too. But if people lose weight on ozempic it really can’t increase insulin? I just don’t know. I don’t want an insulin spike. Can’t anyone test this?
I was amazed to see how closely similar allulose is to fructose molecularly. My husband is a T2D and has RLS. He's now working towards a low-carb lifestyle with my help. But I didn't want him to go cold turkey with such a drastic diet change feeling he would only come to resent it. He only made the decision to the diet change after suffering a stroke from lack of sleep due to uncontrolled RLS. RLS triggered food hunger due to the stress hormone cortisol from lack of sleep. Cortisol also increases morning sugar levels and insulin levels which increase blood pressure. Because he was tired, he wasn't keeping up on the blood pressure meds, which led to the stroke. He was snacking a lot which made the RLS even worse, esp in the evenings/night, getting only 4 hours of sleep 4-5 nights/week. Thankfully he's now on a larger dose of RLS meds and went off the injectable insulin - after I educated him on how 'chronically elevated insulin' increases blood pressure. Other than the Dawn Phenomenon, his sugars are much better, he's lost weight and enjoys an occasional treat - inculding homemade ice cream - with alluose. And it has been great watching his sugars actually fall (vs go through the roof) after eating a low-carb dessert with allulose. He's been grain free and processed/highly processed foods free, which has really helped, too. I'd love nothing more than to be 100% carnivore and did go 'ketovore' at one point - felt the best I've ever been in my life. For now, him and I are on this journey together. Here's hoping he will eventually go serious keto or carnivore.
For whatever it's worth it seems to cause water retention in me. I gained a few lbs every time i use it for a day
I don't think that it spikes insulin. Allulose is so similar to sugar but the body cannot really process it, so you pee it out and it brings along other glucose in your body.
Dr Boz, I thought you looked great. Loved your top. Sorry about the bruise. It looked painful.
Wish I could be in Austin this weekend. I have a large convention to attend here in WA.
Good for you!
I don’t do well with Allulose. I get the worst gas. Erythritol does not give me gas and does lower my blood sugar.
I’m just the opposite, no reaction from allulose, but Erithytol is a GUT bomb!
Hello Dr. B,
Thank you for testing this candy. Despite anything, you continue to look beautiful! Regarding the study you discussed about rats, it's essential to remember that we are humans, not rats. Similarly, it is just like with Moringa oleifera leaves; while they might be beneficial for rats, for humans, it seems to have only a placebo effect. I believe that it's healthier to avoid sugar completely.
Thank you for your support!
May have something to do from getting back from that vacation (Itlay, long flight, different food, more sodium, more carbs because those restaurants are not accurate etc)
Hello dr boz
I like to volunteer for whatever study you like to try I ben doing keto for 7 years
Thank you for your patience.
so true and summaried great for my experiences too.
Great mini-experiment - keep them coming.
Thank you. Thank you
It's the soluble tapioca fiber that is causing the bloating.
Bingo. They put that in meat chips which makes me feel just terrible.
Why?
Tapioca comes from a very toxic plant called the Yucca or Cassava root!! Can contain cyanide! When I eat vegan cheese that has tapioca my throat starts to close almost like it’s growing something in there!!
It could be the GLP-1 effect, or the GLP-1 effect wearing off. OR, it could be the tapioca starch or the emulsifier or ‘natural flavors.’ Try having a bit of allulose (perhaps with a bit of cocoa) instead of the bar. See if the same thing happens. (BTW, I’ve taken a Lindt 90% cocoa bar, melted it with 1 tsp of MCT and 1.5 tsp of allulose, poured it out on a flat dish, sprinkled a bit of salt on it, waited for it to solidify and it was pretty tasty. )
I use their product as a sugar substitute and I love it.
I am 76 and use allulose for tea or on blueberries after a meal. Blood sugar and blood pressure is fine. No edema. I think the ingredients in the bar may have been something that might have triggered an allergic reaction? I have no problem with cravings or binging afer using allulose. I am very adicted to carbs and sweet foods.
You go girl!
Do you use anything for sleep?
Can't the RX products on the shelves in Australia, but if fructose is not good and they process fructose to make Allulose by what process is it made and if fructose converted to another product any better for you, still it is processed.
This is very interesting. I would like to know if you have the same response the next time you snack on the candy or if it could be another ingredient.
Great video. I bought some of the Kind bars a couple weeks ago. I hadn't heard about the need of polyphenols for them to work. I'd like to hear more about the polyphenols in algae, but I doubt if they have the ones I want - tetra-cis-lycopene and cyanidin-3-glucoside, lutein and zeaxanthin.
Hi, Dr. Boz - can you recommend more options for something sweet 😋?
Those of us who refuse drugs for T2D and/or obesity are pleased to take these forms of sweeteners - YUM!
Sugar substitutes still cause insulin response triggering retention of fluid
Well, after listening to Dr. Ben Bikman, I ordered this product and it has not arrived yet. I was so hopeful for it. So this post is a real disappointment already. I only have one daily indulgence (ok, sometimes two), and that is one serving of an Atkins chocolate candy, which I know is not good for me and not ideal for my goals, but satisfy my cravings for chocolate especially after dinner. But I feel certain that it raises my blood sugar--not that I've checked it to prove it, just that I'm convinced by influencers who tell me that sweeteners do affect blood sugar. So, I was so hopeful that this allulose product will be able to help me overcome my addiction to sweet Atkins candy. I've already bought it, it's on its way here, so I'm going to try it out. But, yes, I struggle with high blood pressure and inflammation. So, we'll see. At least I know of something to watch for. I will add, I have some allulose powder and last night, in my eagerness to try it, I added some to my sparkling mint water. I was up in weight this morning, though I otherwise stuck to my eating plan yesterday, and I know it's water weight. It didn't occur to me it might due to the allulose, but now I wonder.
Don't be a sheep
If you keep eating sweet you will crave it. You are better off using this sparingly
@@iss8504 Live your life
Enjoy it
It really is awesome the way it lowers blood sugar
not everyone reacts the same, and it is probably the other ingredients, just see how your body responds
Have them set up your name as a code for your neurons to order in the group so we can all test one ourselves and have a large number of people testing Thera glucose after eating it and see how they feel the next day and you can use that also as data I would be up for it 4share a discounted link to them in our group
I’ve been using allulose for the past week or so and noticing the same thing. My blood sugar had been going down but everything is more swollen. My guess is insulin has been triggered by the allulose even though glucose is reduced. I remember Dr Fung talking about insulin being triggered by artificial sweeteners and even just the act of chewing - even if glucose doesn’t rise. I think the insulin is being triggered and creating an inflammation response,
its called being fat
Wow “Dr” Boz ! Shocked you would advocate this product . Any sweet product will trigger craving for sweet stuff ! Pieces of silver ??
My guess is that the RX Sugar bar spiked your insulin because it tastes sweet and your pancreas secreted insulin in anticipation of dealing with an expected increase in blood sugar. That didn’t occur but it explains why your blood sugar went down. It would be interesting to do a serum insulin test before and after eating an RX Sugar bar. Even though they don’t spike blood sugar, it sounds like RX Sugar bars are contributing to the insulin resistance epidemic.
Did you drink more liquid than typical? Did the polyphenols and/or allulose affect water retention in some way?
Not surprised you didn't feel well. I believe allulose lowers blood sugar by stimulating insulin I heard that from someplace on You-Tube which by the way is why I have not tried the "Allulose Mirical Sugar"). Doc, I'm sure you have a way to measure insulin levels after eating one of those Rx - Bars. If you could do that and post your findings, I believe everyone that wants to try it would be much appreciative.
Maybe also try it without the polyphenols?
I eat tons every day and i have a 6 pack, maybe your just lazy
Wonder if you had a cephalic response, followed by an insulin spike.
i eat all kinds of things that are "bad" according to some people. I don't eat a whole lot, but that's the thing. We all react differently to certain ingredients. I can eat vegetables and not have bad reactions to them. I can't see having that little bar have any effect on me. I would have to eat a handful.
I ordered the 4 flavors of their Snax bars & absolutely love the Carmel ones. I also bought the chocolate, Carmel and pancake syrups (all amazing). They are dangerously satisfying but I don't know how to tally them on the Dr. Boz spreadsheet. I have ignored them since they have 0 net carbs. Any thoughts?
Carmel was delicious
Wait a week and try the bar again. If you get the same response, then you can assume the bar is the cause; otherwise you can say it is the bar OR something else.
yeah, you gotta repeat the experiment at least one more time
I do not take ANY kind of sweetener or replacement. The problem is normalising sweet tastes for your taste buds. By eliminating all sweet tastes, I now find pure raw cooking cacao in hot water with milk as sweet.
I bet your look bad physically lol
@@charlesfuchs Not sure what that has to do with it? Apart from the cacao I am carnivore.
If you're taking flak, it means you are over the target. Keep going the way you are going.
@@EuroWarsOrg Shut it beta male lol
Ive been using allulose in some recipes and today my glucose was 70 but Ive lost a lot of ketones ..Today they are 0.3......I do keto diet and Ive even drank Dr.Boz ketone drink...
I'm wondering if you have some jet lag and need to try it once again a couple weeks out from you trip!
Do you think the CGM was recording your interstitial glucose correctly? It may have been diluted from excess tissue fluid. Did you back it up at anytime with a blood test?
As a layman, I say inflammatory response. I will keep your reaction in mind as I begin to use Allulose (Rx brand) for sweetening.
I love the RX Sugar flavored packets. I don't get swelling from those so I would guess other ingredients from the chocolate bars? Or not as much activity as usual? (Sitting and eating chocolate) 😅😅
What are they flavored with?
DIY my own mixture of Allulose and raw chocolate powder.
I ordered these and my blood sugar went from 133 to 92 BG of 133 ketones 0.7 BG 92 ketones went up 1.0 I felt great and had no fluid the next day to other people in my family tried it the same results decreased numbers and they felt fine and no fluid retention the next day
I had a couple questions for RX sugar and left a voicemail several times with no return call customer service doesn't seem to be as adequate as I would hope
I use a teaspoon in my tea in the morning on fasting days. No issues. The problem with the bar is that it's a lot of allulose. I wonder if u got a hypoglycemic effect from it. That's a lot of edema in your leg!!!
I am wondering about the sodium content of the bars...
What are those algae tablets you mentioned?
“Energy Bits”, perhaps?🤷🏽♀️
Chlorella?
As a person sensitive to a lot of foods, I am curious how Stevia compares to how you feel with alulose.
Benjamin Bikman uses these Rx bars. That's how I first heard of them. He's the king researcher on insulin. Highly unlikely he'd recommend them if they caused insulin issues
He eats the powder, not the bars.
@@iss8504 in a recent you tube video he mentioned eating the candy bar at night if he got a sweet tooth. I would not have known about the bar if he hadn't mentioned it.
@@iss8504he eats the bars per what he stated in a recent interview.
@@iss8504 I heard him say that he does eat the bars.... maybe he changed his mind...??
Insulin isn't the be all and end all of issues.
I purchased the Allulose from RX Sugar, and added it to all healthy ingredients, and I had the exact same reaction. So I don't think it's any of the other ingredients in the bar that are causing the swelling in my legs and face. In my experience, it is the Allulose itself. It also gave me bloating and inflammation, and I'm guessing it messes with my gut biome.
I have not noticed a laxative effect with allulose and yesterday I was realizing I do not need to be careful with nmhow much stevia I use. Is staying in Ketocontinuum the reason?
I am someone who does not like chocolate and every bar seems to be coated with it. Are there any that are chocolate free?
How long have you done keto tor dr Boz?
Since allulose acts like sugar, just without the bg spike, then it would be reasonable to expect that it would be as hygroscopic as regular sugar.
I heard somewhere that it is actually more hygroscopic than sugar. 🤷♀
@kam2162 you are right, I had to look up the numbers, and it is 15% more hygroscopic than regular sugar. Having the number will make it easier to adjust in recipes.
Last Thanksgiving we made 2 gluten-free blueberry pies. First one we used half the sugar called for and on the second one we used half sugar, half allulose. Most people liked the allulose pie because it was more tart and they didnt feel that heavy sugar loaded feeling after. Then i made gluten free, keto cookies using just allulose and no sugar. I felt horrible! Horrible, horrible, horrible. I felt like my insulin spiked and my glucose was super low and i had a funky headache for hours after. Threw away the allulose. I would rather have low sugar than that weird allulose. I honestly cant tolerate any sugar substitutes. Blah.
?, did you retest BG 30 minutes after eating it or 60 minutes after eating it
Looks like you had an insulin spike, if so I wonder how that is possible, was it a cephalic response to the sweet taste?
so far a tried two bars, and both times they drove my B S down at least 10 points/ this is great / I hope to use these bars to replace my chocolate heresy bars which of course spike my readings/ if this works this good for other people , this should become a big deal!!!
Having straight allulose is one thing and supposedly can help to negate things like fructose in a piece of fresh fruit but those candy bars have soluble tapioca fiber and pea protein, two big no go’s for me. Experiment with some straight allulose on maybe some berries or something.
I have seen videos about sweeteners raising INSULIN even though blood sugar stays normal. The pancreas reacts to the sweet taste in the mouth.
Maybe the allulose molecule holds onto water the way glucose does?
Nope, i have a six pack eating these
Try allulose by itself and see if your reaction is the same or similar, then make judgement!!
I have been using an Allulose Monk fruit blend sweetener for my Keto dairy free Ninja Creamis I make but haven’t done any research to see if they work for me. I’m not gaining weight however.
The vegan protein blend of pea, sunflower, pumpkin, and flax would make me bloat and retain water. Now, I've made caramels with allulose, that wasn't too bad.
I’m impressed with allulose. I don’t want to sweeten things a lot because I want to get away from any addictive sensations, but in the cases that it makes sense, I’m using allulose and monk fruit extract. In fact, there are blends that I think are attractive.
I haven't given up... But I'm not as optimistic as I was
@@DoctorBoz To quote a famous President of the United States, "Never Give Up!"
Have you tried xylitol?
@@sl4983 Xylitol is probably the worst sugar alcohol, both for taste and for cephalic response.
What are the ingredients in it?
The problem with a CGM is it only measures glucose. Other sugars can be even worse for you than glucose but have no way of knowing. Best to not eat ANY sugars.
I don't see allulose listed as an ingredient.. Is it possible there are other ingredients not listed.
I’m wondering if it may have spiked your insulin, as most artificial sweeteners do (according to Dr Fung’s book). Wouldn’t that cause water retention as well?
Does it have the ingredient "spices" in it?
Also the amount of allulose I put in my coffee alone gave me diarrhea for half a day and you could hear my stomach growling across the room!!! 😂
I used Allulose in my coffee every day- and have for a long time. I have no swelling. I wonder if other chemicals in the bar caused the swelling.
Sunshinemama: she taught us that allulise is not metabolized as it passes through our body so I doubt it makes the changes that you mentioned.
I've tried this multiple times in my results are in the neurons group I didn't have the swelling anywhere and feel great before during and after
GLP-1 improves insulin and amylin secretion during eating. Higher amylin reduces glucagon production. You didn’t tell us your ketone level, but I suspect ketones dropped a little even if blood sugar did not go up. How did allulose affect your DBR? I think the higher insulin caused your symptoms.
inflammation 🔥from the other ingredients like pea protein, tapioca fiber, mysterious “natural flavors” - I often get a stomachache and next day runny nose from trying fun keto treats - I keep hoping for one that doesn’t cause inflammation for me (eating just real food is difficult!!) 🤣
Hello from Montana Dr. Boz! You're such an authentic person, love your videos.
I'm not even going to check the price of this candy bar. But allulose is the _best_ tasting sweetener for my coffee. But it's about half as sweet as sugar and nearly twice as expensive as other alternatives, so it cost 3 to 4 times as much per cup. I use monkfruit/erythritol instead.
Glycine and xylitol are nice and sweet, and xylitol is good for your teeth
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just guessing here. But what if allulose is similar to sucrose in that it is not detected with a glucose meter, but it still attracts and holds water?
Now I am really confused as I just watched your other video where you are indulging in homemade ice cream spiked with Allulose, which aired after this video. In ‘ice cream’ video you are excited with the ability of allulose to lower your blood sugar while eating the ice cream. But in this video it appears a different story. With due respect, which video am I to believe?
I was a chocoholic with type2 diabetes, I went carnivore replacing the chocolate with chicken eggs, don't miss the chocolate, don't miss the sugar, the eggs taste great. And I lost weight and my symptoms.
Overall, Dr. Boz's position on allulose appears to be one of cautious optimism. While she recognizes its potential benefits, she also emphasizes the importance of personal experimentation and paying attention to how one's body responds to specific foods or ingredients.
While the FDA itself may not have conducted specific investigations into allulose, it relies on the data and research provided by manufacturers and suppliers during the regulatory review process. These companies are required to submit comprehensive safety data and evidence to demonstrate the safety of the ingredient for its intended use.
During the FDA's review, it assesses this submitted data to determine whether allulose meets the safety criteria established by law. This process involves evaluating the potential risks associated with the ingredient, including toxicity, allergenicity, and other safety concerns.
So, while the FDA doesn't conduct independent investigations into each ingredient, it does review the scientific evidence provided by manufacturers and suppliers to ensure that allulose is safe for use as a food ingredient. Once the FDA determines that the ingredient meets safety standards, it can be sold to the public for use in food products.
It probably spiked insulin and then the insulin spiked TRPV1 and other inflammatory stimulants.
