A Sugar Substitute That’s Good For You? The Science Behind Allulose - with Dr. Bikman | EP 169 

thanks, that was very useful :)

@anastasia444 Thank You for that information. I just want the basic, to the point, Information. I wish Everyone did as You did. It truly does Help many of us who are Not Doctors and just want the Bottom Line. Thanks Again🤗

Thank you for allowing us to skip the useless banter

Thank you

WRONG!!!!! THESE JERKS ARE IN KOHOOTS WITH BIG PHARMA!

Perlmutter is pushing cookware.

The man is amazing, I won't argue with that. I can't get enough, but he is selling a book and the Levels program for continuous glucose monitoring.

Me too!

Me too

Me three 😊

Me five

You've probably read that carnivore is not an effective long term strategy but great in the short term! My food compulsions stopped after I started eating sauerkraut daily. Fermented foods change our microbiome for the better. Try it and see if it works for you too?!

And also hope they dont catch on fire like my friend Freds

Did same, and saved my wellbeing. Otherwise US food and medical industries do kill people

Bah, that sucks! I was hoping there would be at least one sweetener that doesn't spike insulin that also doesn't mess with the gut microbiome. Oh well, guess I have to get used to not having sweet things.

⁠@@scoobydoozoomMe too! I was enjoying Allulose /Monk fruit blend. Loved it! Now just using monk fruit but it is expensive and takes too much. I am sure that I would be better off just cutting out all sugar and sugar substitutes!

Was it pure allulose or blend. Could have had erythritol in it.

"Allulose may help to increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria, decrease the abundance of harmful bacteria, and improve intestinal barrier function" Maybe you just need to introduce it more slowly?

Great read.... thanks

Wrong. With the finger prick 2 hours after you eat, you miss the spike! My diabetes kept getting worse, the dr. Just kept increasing meds. I switched Drs and bought CGM because my insurance wont pay for it. Finally, reducing carbs, BG numbers going down as well as weight. Finally!

@@kelliez9991 So happy for you that you switched doctors. This is exactly what I was talking about -the doctors who just want to prescribe. Fortunately, I am not diabetic. I have found that for me if I take it an hour to two hours after I begin eating, I catch the highest level that’s what I’m looking for and then it starts going down after that. Godspeed.

@@kelliez9991 I am sure you know that with the continuous glucose monitor there is a delay because it doesn’t measure the blood directly but the interstitial fluid so one still has to do a finger prick periodically to check the accuracy of the monitor. That’s the other reason why I decided not to use one. But I am so glad that you finally decided to reduce your carbohydrate intake. When you were with your first doctor, did he tell you that or was he just wanting to use meds?

Monk fruit has an off taste I think...the allulose is more like sugar in taste.

Same! He is so brilliant and informative and yet unassuming. As a homeschool momma of a big family, I appreciate his father-first perspective.

I’ll second and third that! He’s so accomplished, intelligent, well-spoken, good at explaining complex concepts to his lay audience… and on top of all of that, he’s so gracious and humble. And I love that he always stresses that he’s a husband and father, first and foremost, despite the academic and professional feats under his belt. I’m so grateful for having found Dr. Bikman and that he takes so much time to spread such valuable information that will help-or even save-so many of us. 🙏🏻

Smaller in stature doesn’t equate to “fit”. Also, I’m a slender person, but I crave chocolate like crazy. Sugar makes me so super sick because of the insulin resistance and inflammation that I avoid it, but I still crave chocolate items everyday. I even went a year without eating chocolate.

@@IamParalegal I use a tablespoon of 100% baking cocoa powder in my coffee every morning. I think it's good for me. It has no sugar added and very low carbs with lots of good things in it. I add a tablespoon of coconut oil too it also. I sometimes stir in a square of 85% bar chocolate. It has oil in it.

@@johnndavis7647 Let us not forget that there are anti-nutrients present in chocolate like oxalate.

Good to know. Thx

Thanks for answering my one pressing question about it!

i like dates or other dried fruits.

Medical industry doesn't want u knaw that main problem of diabet is poison which gets in body through wrong food. If we ll know it , then med., pharma and food industries ll have bankruptcy

Check in RU-vid videos of dr. Eric Berg, u ll be cured

Same with Dr Perlmutter!! These two are powerhouse leaders!!

I've never payed attention to Dr. P and after this bought and paid for propoganda, I have to limit my Bikman trust factor.

Maybe. Time will tell.

I Please understand `I am asking respectfuly is your comment because of brand names? I hope not because all products have a brand name . Or because of the Dr`s information and opinions? I just think we all need information to make better decisions concidering how sick humans are getting and even animals from sugar often times. I think this info is really helpful. @@dahof2789

Making ice cream is how I discovered Allulose last Summer

Yes For Sure...! 😊👍 I experimented and figured a way to make a GREAT substitute for Häagen-Dazs Vanilla using Heavy Cream, Whole Milk, Egg Yolk, Vanilla Extract, (a pinch salt - optional) and Allulose... -70SomethingGuy

@@jarichards99utubeMe too: I have to have a little ‘Talenti Vanilla Bean’ gelato each day. Now I make my own. I put the cream mixture into candy molds and freeze. I have Vanilla, Blueberry, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, Banana and Caramel ice cream bites. Eating one hits the spot.😊

Ice cream with allulose will never be too "icy," but also it won't freeze hard enough for me. I'm going to try adding a little honey and see if that changes.

I made a pistachio ice cream using allulose, that was “to die for!” Really great! And yes, scoop-able when fully frozen.

You shouldn't be embracing it, it should be a supplement to a minor cheat meal, such as in coffee or one keto cinnamon roll or something. You should be worried about habitually abusing an experimental hormone modulator, despite these very early clinical claims that it is completely safe, and we all know how those go 10 years down the line.

What is gram to teaspoon ratio?

@@carolgraham7691 I just weighed my FitLane allulose , using 2 different teaspoons because volume measurements are more imprecise than weights. 4 grams per teaspoon is accurate for this product, probably varies if its powdered or not.

There are doctors and assisted living restoration by increasing grass fed beef and seeing actual reversal of dementia and more

If you've never tried keto, but are open to the idea, may I recommend a 4-week stint. When I did that, I lost twenty actual pounds, saw food cravings vanish, and my sweetness receptors found processed foods overly sweet. This made it easy to transition to low-carb & intermittent fasting, helping me lose another twenty pounds over the following six months. To be clear, weight loss was not my goal, but a welcome side effect. Dietary changes improved my health considerably, improving or "curing" numerous chronic ailments. My feeling is thar we are overly and unduly accustomed to sweetness, and crutches like allulose are not helping. After recalibrating my taste buds, and sweet treats are no longer a daily thing, I find that I appreciate them much more.

Us as well

see Dr Ken Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet and Ben Bickman's vids on insulin resistance . strict keto/carnivore can definitely help improve your brain functions... personal experience!

Use legume flour. Gram flour(chickpea),mung bean flour w skin,urad flour. Many recipes on utube.

Just give it up ,all the time you eat sweetners you won't escape the trap x

We kicked the carb habit by eating lots of fatty meat & homemade ice cream~ made w/allulose, super easy & best ice cream we've ever had. Extra fat -without carbs- is a great way to lower blood sugar & satisfy cravings, while also shedding unwanted extra body fat. Alulose also makes an amazing cheesecake, low carb breads/cookies/cakes/pies~ point being, you don't have to give up a lot of favorite foods if you don't want to. At first, we were concerned w/low to no carbohydrates being too restrictive, yet we've found the opposite to be true. All the best to you~The Whitson's in AZ

@@rasbijalpatel310 recipes to make what?

Many people in my family passed away from complications of diabetes, all too soon. As a child it was very hard watching those you love succumb to to a disease that may have been prevented. They all were sugar addicts, obese, had horrible diets. I’m in my 60s and see my weight going up and have cravings for carbs that I never used to have, red flag, I know. Don’t worry over other people’s reactions to your success, that’s their problem, not yours. I would just avoid the food pushers as much as possible.

DRUG Sorcery PHARMACEUTICALS!!!! Especially in Revelation reveal this deception! Gal 5:19 Now the works of the sinful nature are evident: adultery(also with the eyes and mind), sexual immorality (child molestation, rape, incest, fornication, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, LGBTQ, pornography, foreign pagan lineage, incest, prostitution, etc.), impurity, lustfulness, Gal 5:20 idolatry, PHARMACEUTICS [DRUG SORCERIES, witchcraft], hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, rivalry, dissension, divisions, Gal 5:21 envy, murders, intoxication, drunken riots, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of Yahuwah. 1. Sorcerers(taking pharmaceuticals) will NOT NOT NOT inherit the kingdom. 2. Let thy clean nutritional fruit, vegys, nuts, seeds, and cold pressed oils, be thy medicine like Daniel did. “And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their drug sorceries (chemical pharmaceuticals), nor of their whoring, nor of their thefts.” ‭‭Ḥazon (Revelation)‬ ‭9:21‬ ‭ For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery (chemical pharmaceuticals) (medicines) all the nations were led astray.” ‭‭Ḥazon (Revelation)‬ ‭18:23‬ ONE SORE? THIS SCRIPTURE Sounds like a vac’s to me! ..... “And the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and an evil and wicked sore came upon the men, those having the mark of the beast and those worshipping his image.” ‭‭Ḥazon (Revelation)‬ ‭ He killed Asa for going to a doctor. “And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his disease was severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek יהוה, but the physicians. So Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.” ‭‭Diḇre haYamim Bĕt (2 Chronicles)‬ ‭16:12-13‬ ‭TS2009‬‬ He says He is our Rapha EL! And the disciple Luke never gave out chemical pharmaceuticals or shots which is sin. Without taking the mark of the beast……We wont be able to buy sell or trade without having it....or have a job or go shopping...n etc... The vac’s is definitely doing this and even the masks, which compromise our health, did this. Exodus 7:11 alludes to the mask and the hidden agendas and hidden people behind the agendas. Secret hiding. Lahat is enchantment and it means to veil or mask it, covering that hides what is behind it. Similar to a lizard with camouflaged capabilities. Hasatan is twisting around and seducing with materialism, money, food, drugs, sex, whatever way he can to get people to stay away from the covenant or to break covenant. He always has. It’s not something new like we think. Some just are like Amalek and won’t repent, also like Pharaoh. And also the others who are the “giant” leaders or kings like Solomon that allowed his head to be turned away, by the daughters of these pharaohs ( adams/men), and he never repented. And Solomon overtaxed and sacrificed his children to molech. They also did in like manner with their enchantments - The word להתים lahatim, comes from להט mor lahat, to burn, to set on fire; and probably signifies such incantations as required lustral fires, sacrifices, fumigations, burning of incense, aromatic and odoriferous DRUGS, etc., …as the means of evoking departed spirits or assistant demons, by whose ministry, it is probable, the magicians in question wrought some of their deceptive miracles: for as the term miracle signifies properly something which exceeds the powers of nature or art to produce (see also Exo 7:9). Deuteronomy 32:31-33 n 42 Gall is Roshe, which is opium n was cultivated by Sodom n Gomorrah. Which was likely the drug capital of the world....Seducing and raping. Gal (which Is the short of Galgotha, which is dancing on the head Messiah and all His believing people to destroy Him which they try but they ultimately can’t) So it’s one of the venoms n sin n evil spirit that strikes the heal but HaMashiach will stomp its head! They were likely enticed by more than sex in Numbers Chapter 25, drugs were surely involved. Even so it’s all sin that destroys. Also Gall is what they gave HaMashiach when He was cursed on the Tree for us and He rejected the drug! He is the wave offering and He conquered sin and paid our citations for disobeying the law, and throws it as far as the east to the west, that is…IF we repent and love His covenant with a circumcised heart. Obey Torah/TaNaK) (which is the SCRIPTURE Messiah said they were erring in) and desire to be His unblemished bride, Hebrew(crossed over)YsraEl! Set Apart! satan reminded HaMashiach with revenge at His suffering to His death, with the Gall of Sodom and Gomorrah and how many were destroyed by the drugs but HaMashiach will have the final victory! And even if it were just vinegar like some say, Messiah was taking a Nazarite Vow and would not drink it anyways because of His vow not being ended yet. He is High Priest and will do a sacrifice ending His Numbers 6 Nazarite Vow and come with blood already on His vesture of the sacrifice to end His Vow. He is not drinking of the grape, He is not touching the dead yet and He is not cutting His hair after His hair was taken out. We will also do sacrifice n the Holy Days in the 1000 year reign. Read Zechariah 16-21 Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food! Amen! Every herb is highly medicinal seed bearing straight from YaH! And stop eating off satans table. Obey the Scriptures. We must Obey YaH and His Holy Word! We must not be lukewarm and lawless or we will be spewed from His mouth!

Who paid you guys to push allulose?

Bikman is PhD, not MD

It's too bad they are so expensive!

Go Grassfed with the milk … you deserve it … and you’ll have the healthiest ice cream in town

Grassfed whole

​@@indiegemsthatjam3986❤

@@Kathleen, yes, homemade ice cream is wonderful!! I typically eat it every day. 😊 🍨 Carnivore Ice Cream * 1 quart heavy cream * 4 egg yolks * 1 cup allulose (optional, but it keeps it scoopable in the freezer and sweetens it) * 1 TBS vanilla (optional) * 4-6 TBS cocoa powder, carob powder, etc. (optional). Blend, then let spin for 25 minutes in an ice cream maker until it’s a soft serve consistency, then freeze. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, blend this until it thickens, and then freeze it. It will be icy instead of a creamy texture, but it will still taste good. I definitely prefer the creaminess though of putting it in an ice cream maker!

My sentiments exactly!

People eat and drink plenty of shit that they know is harmful in large quantities, including aspartame and MSG. Because there is no toxicity data being reported on allulose, it's worth the risk for the time being. I ate solid blocks of transfat margarine as a kid. I'm not fully aware of exactly what harm it caused, if any. But I quit using it after 50 some years. You can always quit using whatever is of no personal benefit.

@@HuFlungDung2Exactly! I am very sensitive to MSG, and it’s various related forms like Maltodextrin, Citric Acid, and others zi g ne and I get a bad case of restless keg syndrome.

You forgot the “probably” bit.

Agree! Give it a couple of years and it will also be on the naughty list like all the other substitutes that were supposedly good for you.

I do not see a problem with metformin it is cheap and associated with life extention. But I am also doing a ketogenic diet.

@@rosela41 Metformin long term damages your liver and eyes. These are well known side effects.

You might want to research it. I was quite shocked when I did.

@@rosela41some people have severe diarrhea with Metformin. That was bad enough for me and I was only Pre-Diabetic.

Probably you stayed away from doctors up to now. Hope you stay clean, and speedy recovery. (Prunes are good for bone health it turns out.)

Which was the sweet you discovered?

Uh are you going to tell us the natural herb

@@nirradical Obviously not Haha.

​@@nirradical Probably was referring to Stevia.

What about over the next few hours, it might not spike but stays higher for many hours so the total area under the curve ends up the same.

@sunnyBLR the next morning Glucose 87 ketone 2.1 dinner and dessert didn't make a big difference

There’s nothing keeping you from buying your own blood glucose meter and checking your blood glucose levels for yourself. You can then calculate your HbA1c. Check out the RU-vid channel Beat Diabetes! It’s how I got my prediabetes under control. Thanks for the info. I’ve always wondered how much input an individual is allowed in their healthcare in nations that have universal public medicine.

Won't be long an we will be in the same boat.

Yeah id have to agree. UK health system is way behind the rest of Europe. We now go to Belgium for anything serious, can't get seen in the UK.

That sucks.

Don't cook with aluminum. Teflon, aluminum foil, iodized salt or other foods that use it as an anti-aging agent. It causes Alzheimer's. Steel, cast iron, diamond/granite, or copper are ok.

NEVER ALUMINUM

Aluminium is dangerous, get rid of it and learn the facts, cast iron is a good choice 👍 !!!

Yeah was just about to write, definitely not aluminium

Thank you for sharing that since no one mentions that!

Thanks I was wondering what type of GI effects folks were getting everyone been so vague...but I will Google side effects n see

Exactly.

lack of sweet things in diet is a very high price to pay and majority can't do it, especially if you consumed sweet whole life and you have bad dopamine genes... you can't stop addiction living between addicts

One report shows that taking a tbs of coconut daily improves mental acuity. Also check out Methylene Blue.

You’re probably right!! If it isn’t broke…don’t fix it!! ❤

@@ShelovesJesusandElvis agree!! 😊

I agree with you .. but as a stepping stone to quit sweet substances altogether, a substitute like this or stevia can help greatly. And for people who CAN self limit sweets this can help them as well .

It is sugar not a substitute. The body cannot metabolize it no proper enzymes to break it down

100% true for me. It's like trading in your heroin addiction for a methodone addiction. You're still an active addict.

For those that still want to eat healthily and haven't yet beat their addiction... Allulose is a game changer.

Same here.

They conclude: "To conclude, D-allulose was found to be more reactive than fructose and glucose on the glycation of SPI and reactivity of sugars could be ordered as D-allulose > fructose > glucose."

Thank you both.

@@MisterHowzat exactly. 👏🏼

I'm wondering why you haven't cut everything sweet tasting out of your diet. Is it just because you think of it as a treat and can't let go?

It can help but gets long

@@jaycarver4886 enjoyment......stop having sex it's simple

Please don't eat cake every day, no matter what sweetener is in it 😉😅.

Maybe eat only a small piece of cake at once that contains around 1 tsp of sweetener/sugar.. and have no sugar in coffee. Problem solved😁

Only tiny amounts occur naturally in figs, etc. But the allulose you can buy is not made from figs, it's usually fermented from corn or rice. It's easy to obtain. But it is not as sweet as sugar, and if you're trying to replace sugar in a recipe, you have to use about one-third more allulose than sugar. I find it works well for some things, not as well for others, and best when you add a tiny amount of another sugar, such as coconut sugar, date sugar, honey, or some other sweetener. I don't use "sugar substitutes" (stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, etc.) because I find they all have a bad taste. Then again, it's very good to learn to eat things that are really good while not being very sweet. I no longer sweeten things that I was taught to sweeten. Coffee is deliciously bitter, Greek yogurt is deliciously sour, etc.

The issue is the cake, not the allulose.

I normally avoid sugar but if I want a mug of cocoa for example I sweeten it with glycine. I might try allulose instead but not sure if it’s healthier than a teaspoon of glycine?

I have ice cream every night made with allulose! 😊

myself and another family member purchase 25 lbs and split it, cutting the cost down by about half

where do you get it?@@andreastar00

Where? 5 pound bag is 26 dollars

And therein is the rub. Becomes just too expensive, so people go back to other non-sugar sweeteners.

I don't view the expense as a downside. Sweetened treats long ago became far, far too commonplace and taken for granted. I'd be lucky as a kid to have had a single soda in a week, now people they deserve one per hour. Let the expense deter you from frivolous consumption.

Well it might help. But if people chomp down carbs its not really a fix for bad diet. Better than refined sugar i guess.

Big IF. We have heard similar promises before, that proved untrue.

ONLY RICH PEOPLE'S LIVES WILL BE SAVED... ALLULOSE IS SUPER EXPENSIVE😕... AND IF YOU CAN FIND IT.🫤

It is just very expensive and regular sugar is cheap

I have found that Allulose is not as sweet as sugar. It is too expensive to use enough to make my coffee tolerable. I use it with monk fruit. The truth I have found is that I need to make a greater effort to wing myself from craving the sweetness. Not what I want to do but what I need to do! It’s hard but I hope I can eventually stop the madness in the way I go!🥲

what they did NOT say .. Allulose is made from GMO corn .. think about that ..

@@bruceintentions7423 In Australia ?

To be honest I am no longer keto I am carnivore, but it’s clearly vital for the health of kids to get on to this research.

Sweet poison.

@@ToddSloanIAAN Well 95% of corn is GM. Corn is toxic, so automatically, allulose is crap I'd stay away from.

I’d be curious where it’s manufactured too. Remember, there was a big push for xylitol, and then looking deeper it seemed like the studies promoting it came out of China, and most xylitol was also manufactured in China , and now the negatives of xylitol are coming to light
