Allulose may increase GLP-1

Allulose is a natural sugar, but, being less sweet than glucose, is less used than artificial sweeteners, or alternatives such as stevia.

Allulose is, I think, similar in molecular structure to fructose.
Human metabolism does not have the chemical pathways to metabolize allulose.

This study suggests allulose stimulates GLP-1 production (like semaglutide, mounjaro, etc) which suppresses appetite.

{ The allulose group exhibited lower food consumption and increased levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), enhancing glucose regulation and appetite control. }

Diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, etc are significant macroeconomic concerns.

Of interest to Wistar rats everywhere.

Started to read beyond the headlines…lost interest after finding out that the enthusiasm over the answers this study provides pertains mainly to questions about the wrong species.

Sugary holidays are coming up.
If you’re interested in offering a diabetic friendly “sweet” to your guests, I can recommend these cookies.

I’m gonna make a batch using dark chocolate chips with allulose and using powdered allulose as the granulated sweetener.

Last year, DSis made me an egg custard with allulose. Time to put in this year’s request. :hugs:

Amazon has the allulose sweetened ingredients.

Baking with Allulose alone can be problematic. The new Swerve actually has some Allulose in it and people have had to redesign their recipes around it. I tend to use erythritol for things that want crispiness and Allulose for what I want gooey. You can find a primer on baking with sweeteners here: The Ultimate Guide to Keto Sweeteners
