My problem here is that most drinks have at least 22 grams of sugar in them. So I would have to assume whatever has this sugar substitute in it will have the same amount to make the drink drinkable. If you drink three of those a day you go well over the recommended dosage and don't even know it because it's not labeled as a sugar. So when you sit on the toilet for the last half of your day with stomach issues you don't even know...

thank you for the kind words! I’ve gotten a lot of requests on monk fruit and it’s on my list of videos to make soon.

Wow this was the best video on allulose I’ve watched today. And I watched around a dozen. You explained it so well.

This is such wonderful news. Thank you for this information, Dr. Kim. For anyone wondering, Allulose is only 70% as sweet as regular refined sugar, so it's not a 1:1 ratio, but that's an easy fix. If you have a recipe which calls for one cup of sugar, then instead simply use one plus one third cup of Allulose. If you need a tablespoon of regular sugar, instead just use one tablespoon plus one teaspoon of Allulose. (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon) Whatever the recipe calls for in sugar, just add that amount of Allulose plus one third that amount. Easy as sugar free pie. On a side note, I've been using a Monkfruit Allulose blend. The bulk of the blend is Allulose, even those most brand will market it as Monkfruit, but once you read the ingredients, you'll see Allulose is listed first, which means it contains mostly Allulose. The upside of blending it will Monkfruit is that Monkfruit is much sweeter than sugar, so most of the Allulose Monkfruit blends sold are blended so a cup of the blend is equal to one cup of regular refined sugar. In other words, it makes it a 1:1 substitution, so no math involved. If the recipe calls for a cup of sugar, then you can simply use a cup of the Monkfruit Allulose blend, and it will be equally as sweet as sugar. The downside is it costs a bit more per ounce or per pound than pure Allulose. However, the fact that it's a 1:1 ratios, rather than a 1:1.33 ratio, probably brings the cost a bit closer to what you'd spend using pure Allulose. In any case, the convenience to me is worth a little extra cost, but that's for each to decide for themselves.

Just happened upon your video. Will be subscribing. Very interesting and useful information. I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes several months ago. I wasn’t particularly overweight, only by 10 pounds. Unfortunately, diabetes is in my family, so for me, doctor said it was genetic. That most likely I had become insulin resistant over many years. You can’t buy allulose here n Canada yet. Health Canada has not approved. I could only buy online through American site, if I so chose, that deliver to Canada. I’ve been using Lankanto monk fruit/erythritol blend. No gastrointestinal issues whatsoever. But I don’t consume everyday. Only in baking. Don’t use sugar n my coffee or tea, never have.

Looking forward to watch your assessment of monk fruit sweetener. Some family members cannot go without having some chocolate almost every week so I got a chocolate melanger to make sugar free chocolate. I used erythritol in the past with mixed results. I will experiment with pure monk fruit powder and allulose separately to see the response. Well done health oriented video.

Thank you Dr. Kim for this video. I'm type 2 and I use stevia monkfruit and erythritol sweeteners.

After reading viewer comments and concerns regarding what allulose is made from and any possible adulterants added to it.

I just finished listening to Dr Bikman on this, sooo many benefits.

Than you Dr. Very well delivered great information.

Do you know of any literature that examines the effects of allulose on formation of Advanced Glycemic End-products (AGE)? Allulose has a much longer residence time in the bloodstream and therefore in peripheral interstitial tissues. In vitro studies show that allulose leads to AGE formation at about double the rate that glucose does when incubated in various serum components like albumin. In people with diabetes or metabolic dysfunction, I can see how IF allulose leads to improvements in management of A1C and body composition, these positive changes may be worth risking other adverse effects, but what if allulose is also promoting accelerated AGE formation? One would not detect this by standard proxy measurements like blood glucose, because of course the glucose is being replaced by allulose, which is still present as a possible silent promoter of these detrimental tissue changes.

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.

Note that allulose is man made and often made from corn so make sure what you buy is labeled non-GMO! Also note that I could not find organic allulose.
