Allulose is a low-calorie sweetener that occurs naturally in small quantities in certain fruits such as figs and raisins. It is chemically similar to fructose but isn't absorbed well by the body, resulting in negligible calories being consumed.
It is used as a sweetener in various food and beverage products because it provides the taste and mouthfeel of sugar without adding many calories. Research suggests that allulose does not raise blood sugar levels, making it an attractive option for those managing glucose levels.
While generally considered safe, it can have a laxative effect when consumed in large amounts. Consumers should check for any gastrointestinal discomfort when incorporating it into their diet.
Commonly found in: Baked goods, Beverages, Snacks, Ice cream, Cereal, Candies
What to watch
- Can cause gastrointestinal discomfort or a laxative effect if consumed in excessive amounts.
Benefits
- Contributes minimal calories and does not significantly impact blood glucose levels.
Allulose is recognized as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient.
Studies suggest that allulose does not significantly affect blood glucose and insulin levels, though the evidence on other long-term health impacts is still being developed.
Allulose is not animal-derived and is generally considered vegan-friendly.
