What Makes Allulose Stand Out

Nearly Zero-Calorie: Allulose contains only about 0.4 calories per gram compared to sugar's 4 calories per gram, making it roughly 90% lower in calories.
Minimal Impact on Blood Sugar: Unlike regular sugar, allulose has negligible effects on blood glucose and insulin levels, making it suitable for people with diabetes or those monitoring their blood sugar.
Natural Origin: It's a rare or "monosaccharide" sugar that occurs naturally in small amounts in foods like figs, raisins, maple syrup, and brown sugar, though commercial allulose is typically produced from corn.
Similar Taste Profile: Allulose provides about 70% of the sweetness of regular sugar without the artificial aftertaste associated with many alternative sweeteners.
Excellent Baking Properties: It browns, caramelizes, and creates similar textures to sugar in baked goods, making it one of the few alternative sweeteners that can replace sugar in many recipes without significant adjustments.
FDA Recognition: The FDA has exempted allulose from being counted in "Total Sugars" or "Added Sugars" on nutrition labels, acknowledging its minimal caloric impact.
Potential Health Benefits: Some research suggests allulose may have antioxidant properties and could potentially help with fat loss and improved insulin sensitivity, though more studies are needed.
Dental Benefits: Unlike sugar, allulose isn't fermented by oral bacteria, reducing the risk of tooth decay.

The main drawbacks to consider are its higher cost compared to sugar and potential digestive discomfort in some individuals if consumed in large amounts, as it's not fully absorbed by the body.
