Allulose (1kg)

Benefits of Allulose

Although much of the research on allulose was done in laboratory and animal  studies, a number of small human studies have highlighted various potential  benefits.  

• Low in calories: As allulose is not absorbed in the body the way sugar is,  the 0,4 calories per gram does not count at all, which means there are no  sugar or insulin spikes after ingestion of allulose. Sugar has a glycemic index  of 65, while allulose has a glycemic index of zero.  
• Tastes like sugar: As allulose tastes similar to sugar, it does not have the  after taste that is found in some other artificial sweeteners.  
• No effect on insulin: As allulose is not metabolized in the body, it doesn’t  raise blood sugar or insulin levels, making allulose a viable option for  people with diabetes. It reduces post-meal blood sugar levels, compared to a  normal diabetic diet.  
• No effect on tooth decay: Allulose is not metabolized in the mouth like  sugar and is deemed not to contribute to tooth decay.  
•  Reduced body mass: A small Korean study found that supplementing with a  high dose allulose drink resulted in significantly reduced body fat percentage  and body fat mass, as well as a decrease in total abdominal and  subcutaneous fat areas, as measured with CT scans. People who consume high amounts of added sugar could swop allulose for sugar to reduce overall  calorie intake, which can encourage fat loss.
• Levels of triglyceride and glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the  bloodstream: The same study also reported that allulose had little effect on  the levels of triglyceride fat in the blood, as levels of triglycerides, blood  glucose, and insulin were unchanged, as well as glycated hemoglobin, which  indicates the average blood glucose levels for 2-3 months before the test,  which is used to evaluate a person’s level of blood glucose control
