I Ate 50 Grams Of Allulose! | Is Allulose Keto? With Blood Tests 

Feel free to share this video or use sections of it in your own video (just credit me) and help spread the word about this awesome sweetener.

I bought a big bag of granular Stevia from Wal-Mart's brand. It was cheap and I used it for baking and making it into liquid sweetener. I kept gaining weight. Then my joints starting hurting and got worse and worse, to the point I could barely walk, and had to use a cane. My right wrist felt like it was being cut off! It happened slowly over a year's time, and after buying four bags. I started a process of diet elimination and found out that it was the Wal-Mart brand of Stevia artificial sweetener. It was cut with MALTITOL!!! I just eliminated all artificial sweeteners from my diet, and I am getting better by the day. I was using liquid Stevia too in my drinks. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ ALL LABELS NO MATTER WHAT THE BASTARDS PUT ON THE FRONT!!!!!

Thank you for sacrificing your body "for science," and "taking one for the team!" The information you shared was helpful and valuable!

I happened to come across allulose while shopping so I researched it and then bought it. My mom loves to have coffee and cream WITH her sugar. Recently, it has come to me to make her coffee so I put in the same amount or so into her coffee and I will say this--last year, her A1C was 8.2 and she's on Metformin. Last month she had to have neck surgery (post cervical laminectomy/fusion) so her A1C had to be checked and it was around 7.6. She recently had her A1C checked it out and her A1C is now 6.7! Her doctor is amazed and said if her next A1C level is that low or lower, he'll cut down on her Metformin! Mom doesn't eat a lot of sugar during the day, but it's how much she was putting in her coffee (4 heaping TABLESPOONS/big soup spoons) and FAKE creamer (the ones that put vegetable oil etc in it). I've changed her creamer to real cream and sugar to allulose and I can see the difference. She doesn't know I have exchanged her sugar bwahahaha! p.s. I've tried Stevia but there's the aftertaste that she tastes but with allulose she doesn't taste it and one day I will tell her what I'm doing...maybe after the next A1C result.

For Thanksgiving, I burnt thru an entire 32 oz bag of Fit Lane Nutrition allulose ... made a batch of chocolate fudge, baked a cheesecake, pumpkin pie, and chocolate cream pie, all with almond crusts, and allulose sugar. They all came out great. I cook for a type 1 diabetic, and will be phasing out my monkfruit and erythritol.

Allulose is manufactured by feeding corn syrup to microbes (commonly bacillus subtilis) which the microbes convert, using a natural enzymatic fermentation process, to allulose.

I love tests like these. Wish there were more on youtube.

I have lower glucose readings after consuming Allulose. It works. I am so excited about this.

As I scroll thru the comments and read your replies, I am pleasantly surprised by the length and in-depth answers you give to everyone. Most RU-vidrs just do all quick responses or a heart to everyone without really answering most questions, and I know it probably depends on the amount of questions and comments, but it’s really sweet of you to personally interact in such a way. 🌺

I’m so glad you and keto connect have tested Allulose. I don’t know why it isn’t more popular. It tastes good and doesn’t give a weird feeling in my mouth/throat. I can’t stand erythritol, it gives me the strangest feeling in my throat that won’t go away. Stevia and Sucralose aren’t that great tasting. Allulose for the win!

Careful! I use allulose and love it, BUT it can and will give you the 'trots' if you consume too much at once. I can also attest to the fact that the more you use it, the less it messes with your intestines! Note: Allulose is only 70% as sweet as other sweetners (sugar, monkfruit...), so in baking, adjust accordingly. I however, no longer add the extra as I now find allulose plenty sweet!

The best part is there’s no cooling after-taste! My 15 yr old detects the erythritol right away and we have been “no flour no sugar” for 3 years. It’s so hard to find the perfect balance with the other alternative sugars. Thank you for sharing your test! Now I’m even more happy with allulose! It makes a VERY good ice cream too- one that you can scoop a real ice cream scooper!

I appreciate you! You can lay your testers under that cool camera you used to show your scale and probably show the readings !

Allulose tastes amazing but wreaks havoc on my bowels. Gas, bloating and liquid ...Well you get the point. Gotta use it in very small amounts.

You are an actual legend for documenting this.

For the past two weeks, I've been spiking my morning coffee with 3 tablespoons of allulose along with 140 calories of MCT powder. I've experienced zero gastrointestinal issues. Although I never used sugar in my coffee even before going on keto, I find it to be a pleasant morning sweet treat. I've started adding the allulose because of its recent characterization as "nature's Ozempic," which is to say it's alleged to suppress appetite and assist with fat metabolization. With this morning ritual, I've found OMAD to be effortless. I no longer experience hunger. Period. When it comes time for my one meal I eat out of habit, not hunger. I might try a three day fast, where my intakes consists of nothing but the coffee concoction above once a day, and water.

Thank you for taking one for the team for our knowledge. It is much appreciated!

I've never heard if this before an hour ago. I got a liquid version at Costco to try. Just tasting it on my finger its soooo much better than stevia!

This is the best sugar substitute out there. It doesn't have a weird aftertaste like stevia or monkfruit and it isn't bad for your gut like sucralose and sugar alcohols. It also tastes 95% like sugar and can actually help with blood sugar control and fat loss. The only downside is that it is expensive. Hopefully the cost comes down as it becomes more popular and more companies manufacture it.

I've been using allulose for a couple of years. I really like it. I found that stevia was way too sweet for me. Allulose works well. I use a heaping teaspoon every day in my coffee. Otherwise, I don't use much of it at all. Thank you for your help!

This was really good info. Thank you for sacrificing your fingers and doing this test. I’ve been thinking about doing keto and learning this about allulose is fantastic. Thank you!

Allulose curbs my appetite .

I'm diabetic with type II, well managed, though. I discovered your reel, checked than the channel, and - oups! This is something I was looking for for a while!

I've been doing low carb and periodic prolonged fasting for a few months and I'm down 80 lb. I don't really crave desserts but I do allow myself some diet soda that has aspartame or sucralose. I use liquid sucralose in coffee or tea... The powdered sucralose like Splenda actually has dextrose in it. I just bought some allulose to do a bit of baking and to make cinnamon glazed nuts. Happy journey everyone.

First. I'm using allulose almost exclusively. I like your study but I went one step further. I am 72 and was approaching Type II diabetes with A1(c) levels at 6.2 to 6.5 and became concerned about insulin resistance. My BMI was about 31 so I told my doctor that I wanted to get serious about loosing weight which in the past had been very difficult just by reducing calories. I convinced him to give me a prescription for a continuous glucose monitor which I have been using to monitor the effect of various foods on my glucose levels and my fasting glucose which was running in the 110 to 120 range, NOT good! I have been on a loose keto diet and find that an 18 hour fast each day along with my first meal being an Atkins protein drink mixed with 2 oz of Avocado and about 1 oz of MCT 8 oil plus about 8 oz of cold coffee and then a second moderate, very, low carbohydrate meal at mid-afternoon has produced an average weight loss of 1.7 pounds per week for a total loss of 35 pounds in 4 months. I decided since it was very easy to do a glucose tolerance test on myself, that I would try one back in October, about 1 1/2 months after starting my keto diet. I was alarmed that not only were my 1 and 2 hour glucose levels above normal, they were actually over 200 mg/dL, very bad. In December, two months and about 20 pounds lighter, I had a formal glucose tolerance test done by a endocrinologist and my levels were now normal. After reading about trying to duplicate corn syrup with erythritol by another RU-vidr, I bought some allulose syrup and calculated how much allulose that they used by how much carbohydrate that they listed on their label. I made my own syrup using 270 mg of allulose in a total volume of 355 ml or 1.5 cup. I am going to look at your syrup recipe and really want to make pecan pie so I will be looking at your recipe for that as well.

So grateful that you did this. I dont tollerate Alulose that well and can get serious diareah with a tablespoon in my coffee 🤗

Came from 2cent chicks. Kathy sent us to you for more info. Great video!

Try dandelion green tea or fennel seed tea to improve your digestion. You’ll feel more energetic!

I use a keto mojo all the time - you can take your Blood Sugar and then squeeze a little more blood out of the original puncture to get your ketones. You don't have to poke yourself a second time for the ketones reading. Also I probably wouldn't even keep testing the ketones - only the blood sugar.

Also a fan of allulose. I made maple syrup with it using a bit of water, allulose, and real maple extract. Have to be careful, though, allulose is a real sugar and acts like real sugar. I accidentally made hard crack (i.e., caramel).

Allulose is a sugar that occurs naturally in some foods, including figs and wheat, but it can also be made from fructose as a commercial food product. Fructose is stored in the liver causing a fatty liver that will make triglycerides, creating insulin resistance that is more potent than glucose creates, blood fat and cholesterol clogging arteries also causing uric acids which then causes gout and prevents vitamin D absorption and converting to a high glycemic index.

i am oddly excited to watch this... i just got allulose yesterday yay

Thanks for this video! I'm a type 2 diabetic on insulin. Hate finger pokes more than the shots. And yes, pinky pokes are just fine!

I think allulose tastes like glucose, not quite like sugar. Having said that though, the key to all these sweeteners is to not have your brain connect it back and see what sugar was and what this isn't. You need to persist with it till your brain forgets what sugar tastes like. I switched to sucralose 7 yrs ago, took me 3 months to forget sugar and really over a year+ to truly say Oh yea this is better than sugar or whatever I remember of it. At that point I also began needing less. But then again, sucralose is 700 to 1200X sweeter than sugar. So using less of it was basically a tiny change.

Doesn't work for me...wish it did! I got REALLY bloated from it.....

Awesome video! Thanks for obtaining the conclusive results of your scientific test! Oh, and thanks for being courageous enough to subject yourself to such a "cruel guinea pig" experiment!

Awesome video! Super informative. You answered all the questions I had about allulose and have spent hours on the internet, RU-vid etc trying to find. Should have come to you first.

Thanks for this video. It was quite informative and useful.

GREAT video 🙌🙌🙌🙌💪💪💪💪💪

Thanks for the information! I’ve been curious about Allulose since trying nui cookies.

If you're quick, you can use the same drop of blood for both tests.

That is crazy! Everyone should switch from Fructose to Allulose

Thomas delauer did a similar video testing it on fruits finding his ketones level higher. I tested this with on a carb up day adding allulose to the shake I made in the morning with bananas and strawberries. I should of been kicked from ketosis with the amount of carbs consumed but my ketone actually went up and my blood glucose was normal spike for eating strawberries.

I am in UK and can't get it easily here but I am excited to try this rare sugar. Thanks so much for this live experiment, it sounds so good.

Thank you. Allulose is the only sweetener I like as a sugar replacement. I'm transitioning to carnivore from paleo and keto and I'm working hard to get and stay in ketosis. It's good to know Allulose isn't super problematic for ketosis or the gut.

Canada needs some allulose!

Hey This was Great! We have been having "discussions" about the various Natural Sweeteners recently, so this helped Immensely! Would like to know more about Monk Fruit and Erythritol. I'm a bit confused about the "Alcohols" as opposed to the Sugars?? Not even sure I've got that right lol. I have Stevia & Monk Fruit right now. Thanks so much!

I’m diabetic, I will test the allulose and I will tell you.

Thank you for all your testing and information!!

Allulose has grades, there are brands which sell bad allulose with nasty tastes. I've had bad and good brands of this. Additionally the price of Allulose has been inflated massively in recent times, likely a lot of price fixing going on which is extremely common for anything dietary supplement related. e.g. Here in Australia this stuff has shot up by %200 or more in price since its initial appearance. Given all the above, I just don't know if this will gain as much popularity. I do understand the market in the USA is much better for this stuff and also a lot cheaper.

I use Allulose. Amazing in my coffee! ☕💖

Just the normal anxiety of knowing you’re going to prick your fingers would raise your blood sugar a bit. It’s a normal body response. So that 93 to 97 rise is absolutely nothing. It stayed the same in reality. Thanks for all that work in the name of science.

I just found liquid and powdered Allulose at my local grocery store so I guess it’s catching on. It was very good in my coffee much better than erythritol or stevia. I usually use sucralose but I think this was even better than sucralose.

They seeing is believing, and all talk with no action means nothing. Your action proved the point. You actually went above all of my curiosity. I do believe in you over 100%. But my only draw-back is that you said that everybody system is different which is true, so if it really don't work for my body or system, I won't be mad at you at all. You demonstrated anyway on a myth that can be believed. I will definitely try it on myself without out the 50 grams of it in water. Lol 😆. Once again I highly appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate your beliefs and clarity.

Be cautious, these test would NOT apply to people with type 2 or pre diabetes. I suspect he does not have insulin resistance based on his initial glucose test.

Why does everyone gloss over it being “similar to fructose“ without discussing why it isn't as bad as fructose. Fructose doesn't raise blood sugar either, that isn't the problem with it.

The 30 minute timeframe is where the biggest results occur and then throughout the day it does seam to assist with glucose spikes

I've been looking into allulose, but get sick of all the different options of seemingly like ingredients. I'm loving keto, but all the specialty stuff adds up. Of course almost none of it is 'needed', but I do still want variety. Your pecan pie video pretty much convinced me to buy allulose though. Thanks for doing this video right after to show that it really is keto.

Thank you for doing this test for us. This video is very informative.

Very cool results and thanks for sharing!

I'm glad I seen this video/ I was buying this and storing it because I seen it was a great alternative. However i was hesitant to use it because I didn't know how it would react with my body being borderline diabetic. Thank you!

Thank you. this is very helpful. I just started using allulose this week - I had been using Lakanto monkfruit classic until now.

Allulose is made from fructose, 7.5% Has anyone checked the liver?

thanks for sacrificing your fingers! Very informative!

Allulose does occur naturally in fings, raisins and corn but commercially made allulose uses genetically engeneered microbes which generate an enzyme . This enzyme is then used to convert fructose to allulose. Commercially available allulose is a manufactured product and is not naturally occuring.

If you swing your arm before the poke, the centrifugal force will help get a big droplet when you stick yourself.

I would expect that your glucose would go down and ketones would go up if Allulose has little/no effect, just as straight fasting would do. Thanks for the sacrifice of comfort to your fingers; that was an interesting trial.

@blacksheepketo A little suggestion for if you do your blood glucose and ketones like this again, Poke your finger once, get a good large, drop of blood and use it for both meters. You can hang your arm down by your side to get blood to flow into your hands and fingers. Then, milk from your wrist down to the end of your finger to get a large drop of blood. Don't just squeeze the tip of your finger, as you can bruise your fingertip. Thanks for doing this video. So many people don't understand that Allulose IS good for a low carb/keto diet. You don't metabolize it and it doesn't affect your blood sugar. Just because companies list the Carbs doesn't mean that you count all those Carbs. You have to subtract them. I do wish that companies that use Allulose would make sure to list the grams of Allulose/serving and show them subtracted from the total. I think that would help.

this is my 1st time watch your video just wanted to give you a big 👍and thank you for doing all that blood testings and study for us!!! Oouch!! and I've immediately subscribed your channel! I'm a newbie in Keto and OMAD for only 3 weeks, but I've already seen a lots of progress the most amazing thing is in the first 3 days I've corrected my eye vision which has been bothering me for 5 years so far! and today I was so confused with what sweetener I should stick to and now I've finally got the firm answer for your channel!! you're really a big help thanks a million again!!

Good testing and reporting! Thank you. Pretty surprising results.

Just in case your followers are interested, I have found the following on allulose: What is Allulose? Allulose is a rare sugar found naturally in raisins, figs, kiwi, brown sugar, molasses and maple syrup. However, in the above examples, allulose is only present in miniscule amounts, and the product “Allulose” we buy, is not extracted from these sources. Commercially-produced allulose is produced mainly from corn starch, or sugar beets through 4 main steps: 1) starch is isolated from corn, 2) the glucose is split from the fructose (by hydrolysis), 3) glucose is converted to fructose by isomerization, then 4) now that all the starch has been converted to fructose, it is converted to allulose using enzymes from genetically modified microbes. By definition, it is a highly processed food product, and is not extracted intact from base sources.

You don't need to push to maximum dosing. It's fairly expensive, for one thing. I always use allulose to offset any other carbs I'm having; research has shown a balancing effect at 25% total carbs from allulose. The rest of sweetening I accomplish with stevia extract, which costs a tiny fraction as much per use. Impressive that you had zero ill effect with a maximal dose in a fasted state.

Thank you so much for doing this, I have a couple of bags of other sweeteners and couldn't enjoy my tea using them, this will be a game changer for me since I just bought allulose to try, and made Hawaiian Sweet rolls with it very successfully. I was told by my pharmacist to stick myself by entering the needle along the side of my finger and it is much less painful, FYI.

I've been eating two meals a day intermittent fasting and mostly carnivore .I do have some milk in my whey protein shake every morning cuz I mix in supplements ..have a gut issue and trying to heal it. this morning I only had eggs burger and salami I've switched my routine around and been having my shakes for dinner because I now work 2nd shift. I took my blood sugar when you did while wathching it was 83 that was 2 hours after i ate. I usually have the dawn phenomenon which I'm sure you are aware of .thanks for doing that test I just got a 3lb bag of allulose and will be trying it for the first time tonight on my break at work .good video

I buy it as it is the only sweetener that does not make rock hard icecream. Not that I make it often. A pint a few times of years. Once when the raspberries are fresh.

My first time using allulose I had a very scary reaction in my brain/head. Very frightening. I put 2-3 tablespoons of organic allulose in a pan along with 3 tablespoons of grass fed butter. Heated it and mixed it into a caramel consistency. Separately I roasted some raw macadamia nuts. After they cooled I mixed them into the caramel. It was so good I ate all of it! But a little while later I developed the strangest sensation in my head/brain. It was like you would imagine a hangover to be only a THOUSAND times worse. I was incapacitated. All I could do was crawl into bed. The next morning I was still having the effect, but milder. I had to stay home from work that day. I don't know whether cooking it in the pan like that had something to do with it, or the amount I consumed was the issue. But the effect was so severe I generally avoid allulose even though I have a large bag of it. I have used it a few times in small amounts and had no similar effect. But generally I avoid it completely. The effect was very severe. The fact that I had such a severe reaction tells me it is probably not safe for long term use. I'm kind of glad that was my first experience instead of using it in small amounts over a long period of time. Considering the severe effect it had I can't imagine it's safe.

Black coffee will raise your blood glucose levels so i try to limit my amount coffee to say two cups of 12 oz coffees a day on my 24 hr fast. Really in depth data, thanks for clearing that up.

20:48 stone cold answer for the "LIKE"

Thanks for the great video! Tip - Don't poke yourself twice for the two meters. 🤪👍

Hey there! This is my first ever time here, and am glad you are talking about allulose. Ya know, it’s nice to get these sweeteners explained! One of my bloggers worships at the altar of Swerve, while another vlogger exclusively uses allulose! Then you hear about people adding Stevia to tamp down the coolness of the erythritol! It’s very confusing. I used some allulose the other day and my husband said, whatever I had made, he’s not keto, that it wasn’t sweet enough. He was right! (Well, he always is 😋) Anyway, thanks for doing this! The other day, one of the keto vloggers that I watch did an allulose taste test - I think he liked the Splenda Allulose - said it had a “marshmallow” taste? With all that said, you’re pretty normal. Seems like there is a lot of ego out here in Ketoland! I hope you stay normal - but maybe once you get to 100,000 subscribers you’ll change, too? 😂🤣😂 I hope not!

I really appriciate the effort for this video. Cheers :)

Very helpful video, thanks for sharing such information

Thank you for sharing 😊

Did it cause any bloating or digestive issues later in the day?

How did it affect your fasting insulin levels? What were they before the experiment? Fasting insulin levels are the most important aspect of a diet and how it affects overall health.

I appreciate what you're doing. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this video!

I wonder the effect this has on microbiome.

Thank you for making this :)

Thank you thank you! Hopefully as IR as i still am after nearly 4 years keto- after 60+ years overweight- i will get the same results. Going to use it anyway! Blessings!

Made from GMO corn. Studies only tested glucose levels, not liver inflammation or enzymes.

What is it's effect on gut bacteria and liver function. These are the important questions for all fake sweeteners.

I just got some bbq sauce with allulose. It's great

These are EXCELLENT videos. You sure know a lot. Are you a medical doctor or chiropractor?

I am going to make ice cream with the Allulose today with my new cream maker. Can’t wait

Since Allulose is a corn based product, I'm wondering if the corn used is GMO modifed...like so much of US grown corn today? Just wondering.😍

Thanks for the great video and education. Just what I was looking for.

Very cool approach - Cheers!

Do you always stick twice when testing glucose and ketones? I think I’ve done that exactly once, mostly I have everything ready and have enough blood from one stick to do both.

Is this allulose same as xitol? They taste the same to me but xitol has a mild after taste
