• How does allulose compare to other sweeteners?

  • There is no specific information from the Huberman Lab data regarding how allulose compares to other sweeteners. However, I can provide a general overview:

    1. Caloric Content: Allulose has significantly fewer calories than regular sugar (about 0.2 calories per gram), whereas most other sweeteners like sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup provide a full calorie count.

    2. Blood Sugar Impact: Allulose does not raise blood sugar levels, making it favorable for those monitoring glucose, unlike sucrose or glucose which can spike blood sugar.

    3. Taste: Allulose is reported to have a taste profile very similar to sugar, while some artificial sweeteners (like aspartame or saccharin) may have an aftertaste.

    4. Digestive Tolerance: Some alternative sweeteners, like sugar alcohols (e.g., xylitol, erythritol), can cause digestive discomfort when consumed in large quantities, whereas allulose is generally well tolerated.

    5. Usage: Allulose can be used in cooking and baking since it behaves more like sugar than many other sweeteners, while others might not provide the same structural properties.
