@hormonespecialist: Which non-caloric sweetener is the best for you and the best tasting? The top pick seems to be allulose. Allulose? What's allulose? Well, it's a sugar that doesn't metabolize like a sugar. And you won't believe the taste. It's hard to tell the difference between allulose and table sugar. And no aftertaste. AND I'll tell you about a superpower it has that no other sweetener has that, for me, knocks everything else out of the competition! They call allulose a rare sugar because it occurs naturally in small amounts in some fruits. Structurally, its very similar to fructose but different at just one position on the molecule, and that one change makes it so the body can't metabolize it like sugar even though it tastes just like it. So no increase in blood sugar, no increase in insulin. Okay, that's cool. But other sugar substitutes do that. Here's it's superpower. In animal studies, it is a potent secreter of GLP-1 -- the same thing prescription Ozempic and Wegovy do. See link in bio for rest of transcript/references.
