Product Information

Allulose is keto-friendly and bakes and freezes like sugar, making it a good option for baked goods and ice cream.

A systematic review [systematic review of controlled trials; strong evidence] Although it has a molecular structure almost identical to fructose, the body isn’t able to metabolize allulose. Instead, nearly all of it passes into the urine without being absorbed, thereby contributing negligible carbs and calories. 32 Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry 1992: Metabolism of (13)C-isomaltooligosaccharides in healthy men [non-randomized trial; weak evidence]

While absorbing erythritol into the blood and excreting it into the urine appears to be safe, there may be some potential for unknown health risks (none are known at this time). All sweeteners in Great Britain undergo a rigorous safety assessment before they can be used in food and drink. All approved sweeteners are considered a safe and acceptable alternative to using sugar. The law determines how much sweetener can be used and in which products.

The FDA attempted to ban saccharin in the early 1970s due to studies showing that a high percentage of rodents exposed to extremely large doses of it developed bladder cancer. This association was never found in humans, however. 45 It is challenging to cook with to get similar results to sugar and often can’t simply be swapped into existing recipes. Although individual tolerance may vary, even small doses of inulin (5-10 grams) have been found to slightly increase digestive symptoms like gas and bloating:

Note that many sweeteners – white or brown sugar, maple syrup, coconut sugar and dates – have a number of exactly 100. This is because these sweeteners are made of sugar. For the same amount of sweetness as white sugar, these sweeteners will have similar effects on blood sugar, weight and insulin resistance. One of the newest sweeteners on the market is 000 Stevia Sugar, which is a zero calorie, 100% natural sweetener that contains both Stevia and the sugar alcohol Erythritol. Types of low-calorie sweetener If you chew sugar-free gum, you are usually chewing xylitol. It is the most common sugar-free sweetener in commercial gums and mouthwashes.

Aspartame is the most widely used sugar substitute in the US and arguably the most controversial. In addition to being used in many “diet” foods and beverages, it’s sold as a sweetener under the brand name Equal (and formerly as NutraSweet).

Cancer Research UK has said sweeteners do not cause cancer.
