NatureBell Allulose Sweetener, 2.5 Lbs | Keto & Vegan-Friendly, White Sugar Substitute | 0 Calorie, 0 Sugar, 0 Net Carb, Non-Glycemic, Browns Like Table Sugar | Bulk Supply for Baking & Beverages

Allulose is sugar. It is not the same sugar as table sugar or sucrose, but it is sugar. It is not an artificial sweetener! (note that on food labels the FDA considers "sugar" to mean only table sugar or "sucrose" but there are many other sugars.) Allulose occurs naturally in some fruits, e.g., figs. Humans do not metabolize allulose to any significant extent. The structure of allulose is identical to fructose except the geometry at one of its carbons is flipped compared to the geometry at that same carbon in Fructose. Allulose is nearly as sweet as fructose which is the sugar responsible for the sweetness of sucrose. Sucrose is one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose bonded together by elimination of one molecule of water. The glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose comes apart in your stomach by addition of water under acidic conditions to make one molecule of fructose and one molecule of glucose. Allulose can be substituted for sucrose. In baking use the same weight of allulose as you would sucrose to get virtually identical results with allulose as you would have obtained using sucrose. (Technically, because sucrose is a disaccharide and allulose is a monosaccharide you would add .95 grams of allulose for every 1 gram of sucrose you would have otherwise used, but a one to one weight ration is close enough.) Allulose, fructose and glucose have identical chemical formulas and therefore identical molecular weights. You should weigh these sugars because allulose will be slightly fluffier (less dense) than sucrose (table sugar). You want equal weights when substituting allulose for sucrose, not equal volumes. Allulose is made commercially by converting fructose to allulose using an enzyme. Although allulose is not metabolized by humans it tastes sweet and is an excellent agonist for GLP-1 release by the intestines. GLP-1 causes your Vagus nerve to signal that you are satiated and no longer hungry. If you use allulose instead of table sugar and you use a significant amount of allulose, you will not be hungry and you will lose weight. Allulose is virtually as effective in causing weight loss as expensive semiglutide drugs and may be safer with fewer side effects. However If you consume allulose ~1 Hr before a meal it will only be effective for about 6 hours, whereas injected semiglutide drugs bond more strongly to their receptor sites and can remain effective for about a week. Allulose is an effective, inexpensive, and likely a safe alternative to semiglutides for those wanting to lose weight. It may also be as effective in curing type two diabetes , depending on the same factors that determine whether a cure can be effected with the semiglutide drugs. This is a matter of some controversy. For those wanting detailed scientific and medical information concerning allulose and its release of GLP-1 see: see the following paper which may be downloaded free from the NIH PubMed website (DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-02488-y): "GLP-1 release and Vagal afferent activator mediate the beneficial metabolic and chronotherapeutic effects of D-Allulose", Y. Iwasaki, et al. (Much of the scientific work on Allulose to date has been done in Japan.) Type-II diabetics should discuss the use of Allulose with their physician. There are just a few suppliers of allulose. There is no significant difference between the allulose you get from one versus another. So the choice should be made strictly according to cost.

I like that this tastes like sugar, and I can sub 1-1 in most recipes. It's not as sweet as "real sugar", but that's okay in my opinion. It dissolves well in egg yolks and warm liquids.

I love this stuff. I have recently switched to a keto way of eating. It's working out for me except when I get a sweet craving. This allulose allows me to have a sweet treat but stay on my diet. I have tried other sugar substitutes but I cannot get past the bitter aftertaste of most of them. Allulose does not have that. Tastes just like sugar except its slightly less sweet so you do have to use more in a recipe. I love that this product comes in a larger size than most sugar substitutes I could find in my local grocery stores. I will be ordering again.

The product has minimal flavor, o calorie count and was delivered quickly and safely.

Great for drinks, shakes, smoothies. Use it in meals sometimes too. Stevia, Monk Fruit and Allulose, all great for KETO/Diabetics to sweeten food when you get that itch. These 3 are EASY on the gut (no farts, bloating, diarrhea within limits at least, don't eat the friggin bag at once people, was that too much?). I use this or Monk EXTRACT (no erythricrap, just PURE 100% MONK) when Stevia isn't enough. Too much stevia in whatever may have an aftertaste for some things. THESE are REAL sugar replacements, everything else is fake and affects your Glycemic index or worse. See 3 side effects before...ROFL. Who needs ANAL LEAKAGE as a side effect? LOL. Just saying, keep it real. Make your own lemonade, Organic 100% lemon juice (15mil), little stevia (KAL Sure Stevia Extract Powder for me, other ingredients NONE even they make a fake one), allulose, mix and serve. AWESOME, no GI effect. Drink all day if you want. Don't buy sugar lemonade...ROFL. Make the real stuff. Dad died Sept3 Mom's falling apart here (me trying not to, miss you dad). Doing 7 reviews in a row to distract myself tonight. Pouring out knowledge, you're welcome. Wonder what JOKE amzn will tell me for 7 in a row tonight. See other reviews for knowledge BOMBS (or a good laugh?). :) FIGHT, don't FEAR. You can do it. I was told I was going to die in 30 days at 19 (jaws wired shut 6 MONTHS world record AFAIK not 6-8 weeks normally). Starvation or suicide they said. Lost 18lbs 10 days in Hospital. Got out I TOOK OVER. 30 days later I had gained 19lbs & you couldn't even see my TEETH so many wires/rubberbands etc. ROFL with no way to eat through a straw. How did I do it? Good luck. I know nutrition. I had to know, OR DIE. They were right, technically it was impossible. Docs told me not to even make an appt for a month later review. Shocked when I showed up to report. Hope you live long, and prosper (even haters) God Bless NO FEAR! Don't QUIT NEVER. Question all "EXPERTS". LOL. Do your homework or DIE says experts. YES YOU CAN DO IT. FaFaFa FAUCI. Too much? LOL. Pfft. Experts. Starting a Youtube ch shortly. :) Learning apps now. It's time to do this. My father wanted me to do this for GOD Long time ago. After watching him die of dehydration in 5 days (2nd stroke since 2007, couldn't swallow or drink), I'm ready. He was a FIGHTER. I love you DAD. Experts told him he wouldn't get out of wheelchair 2007. I proved them wrong with a hip-sled and 6mo work with dad. He saw me FIGHT as a child, so he believed and FOUGHT. Said he'd die in 5yrs or less. Made it 18 yrs with a cane. Have a good night all. Sorry about grammar/spelling, it's 2:30am here and been a rough 10 days. 1 or 2 more reviews to do, then LLM locally baby.

Love this Allulose. I use it in baking cheesecakes & other bake goods.
