Allulose Is Actually A Simple Sugar And There’s A Lawsuit About It! What You Need To Know | BOK

396: Allulose has quickly become one of the most popular sugar alternatives, but is it actually a healthy choice? In this Bite of Knowledge, I'm breaking down what allulose is, how it's made, and why its GMO status and labeling can be confusing. I'll also cover how allulose may affect digestion, including bloating, cramping, diarrhea, and gut bacteria, why it may be hiding in many low-carb and keto products, and why this sweetener may not be as harmless as it's often made out to be. Plus, I'll share what I use instead when I want to add sweetness without relying on sugar substitutes.

Topics Discussed:

→ What Allulose actually is

→ How Allulose is made

→ Why Allulose does NOT come from fruit

→ Why there’s a lawsuit happening
