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!!!

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.

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"

@donwinston Год назад

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.

@davin8r Год назад

Like Dr G says, it's only 70% as sweet as table sugar, so you have to use more

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 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.

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.

@urrrsula 5 месяцев назад

@@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!

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.

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.

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.

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

@alekseyvalentinov9361 Год назад

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

@jakewalker1204 Год назад

@@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.

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.

@ronsandahl274 2 месяца назад

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.

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 😁

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.
