NatureBell Allulose Sweetener, 2.5 Lbs | Keto & Vegan-Friendly, White Sugar Substitute | 0 Calorie, 0 Sugar, 0 Net Carb, Non-Glycemic, Browns Like Table Sugar | Bulk Supply for Baking & Beverages

We started using this about a year ago and we rarely use any other sweetener! It works great for baking or adding to hot or cold drinks, no aftertaste. I use it as 1:1 replacement for sugar in recipes and that seems to work for us. The only time I found it less than ideal was when trying to make meringue, it took much longer to get the egg whites to peak and made softer peaks than usual, but it worked well enough.

I was looking for this Allulose sweetner as recently many nutritional experts seem to present positive research data. You can check it for yourself. It's all over the internet.It is not as sweet as regular sugar but maybe just about 20% less.Known to be a natural substance so I feel safer. I've been trying to avoid table sugar (Sucrose) as much as possible as more scientist and doctors are saying the fructose part of table sugar is detrimental to our health. My doctor advise me to say away from table sugar as much as possible.I mix this Allulose with almost all my cooking though I have not used it for baking yet.Price is still on the high side but as more people get interested in this safer alternative, I hope it becomes more affordable.

It is no different from any other Allulose baking substitute that I have tried.Pros:-Does appear to be a great 1:1 by volume. By weight, you will get less sweetness than if you were to use regular sugar.-Great price per oz compared to most other Allulose products.-Love the addition of monk fruit (in theory)-No Erythritol! Which means no menthol-sensation and hardly any harsh aftertasteCons:-Browns more easily.-Also, a thurstier product, so make sure you either add extra liquid or are using a recipe with a higher liquid-to-dry ingredient ratio.-not as sweet (even with the monk fruit)

I love to bake great deserts and now being on a Keto diet, having a clean, pure product is very important to me. I bought 2 of these 2.5-pound bags of pure allulose, so far and plan to buy more. One of the best deserts? candied pecans, 1/2 stick of butter, 2 cups allulose, on medium heat, keep stirring, when the mixture starts to turn that Carmel brown - stir in 2 cups of pecans - coat them and then spread them out on parchment to cool. This is an amazing treat - it's sweet and sugary - yet healthy, no blood sugar spike, very low carb. I have made high protein sugar free peanut butter cookies with this product; I have made blueberry topping for a Keto cheesecake. Whatever you want to make with sugar, use this instead. Keep n mind, allulose is a natural product - known as a rare sugar - doesn't spike blood sugar and has no carbs. Allulose is only 70% as sweet as sugar - so add more to the mix than the recipe calls for. I just made a pan of panukakku - it called for 1/3rd cup of sugar, I used just less than2/3 cup of allulose, and it was perfect.

allulose is not as sweet as sugar, that is just how it is. Different sweeteners are not as strong or stronger than sugar, such as stevia which is sweeter then sugar. A lot of people giving bad reviews because they do not have any understanding or experience with sweeteners. Allulose is my sweetener of choice because how how blood sugar reacts to it, no sugar spikes. if my words confuse you, do some research and then come back and buy this.

I've taken health seriously for a long time. I regularly workout, been on a plant-based diet for nearly two decades, drink copious amounts of water and do deep dives on anything health related. I also have no stomach or gastro issues. No Rx; very healthy. Taking this, was like a kick to the gut. Literally.Besides drinking a lot of water generally, before eating two meals a day, I drink a 6-oz glass of warm water with 1 T of apple cider vinegar with a touch of honey. When I came across Allulose, reading that it is generally safe, I thought, why not use it in place of honey - since it doesn't elevate blood sugar?I used just 1/8 t of Allulose in my drink instead of honey. Tasted fine, mixed easily. But, later that night, after two rounds of this very small amount of Allulose, I first felt rumblings in my stomach, which is uncommon. Then I noticed the waistband of my shorts was getting exceptionally and curiously tight. The next symptoms were stomach pain that proceeded to full on pain, so severe, I could barely make it to my bed, at which point I tossed and turned in sharp pain for four hours. The kind of pain that goes beyond 'I ate something that upset my stomach.' And yet, I racked my brain for what could have caused such pain.I had slight diarrhea but that, and nothing else relieved the pain. Not a stomach massage, not fresh ginger (which, years ago, stopped imminent vomiting), and not a warm bath. It was the worst pain I'd ever experienced. No way did I suspect the Allulose since the amount I consumed was so small. The only thing I could put my finger on was the raw, uncooked Edamame pasta--something I'd never tried before.The next day, I felt like a horse had kicked me in the gut. I was tender and had zero appetite. I continued with slight diarrhea and fatigue throughout the rest of the day.The following day - two days after the first dose - I felt recovered. All except my colon. Since I still did not suspect the Allulose, I tried another dose of 1/8 t in warm water. Only this time, it only took one serving to prompt a repeat of the first time. Now I knew it had nothing to do with food.I take no Rx and generally avoid going to the doctor, but it was so bad the second time, I contemplated a run to the ER. The pain was particularly pronounced on my right side so I thought perhaps I was having an appendicitis, until I read that if the pain eventually resolves, it's unlikely that. As before, the next day I felt tender, and not 100%. No appetite and my colon was not back to normal. It's been well over a week and it's still not back to normal.To say the obvious, proceed with caution.In researching this further, most results suggested while it is 'generally safe', it can result in gastro upset. But, no mention of severe symptoms and, at such low doses. Interestingly, I read that it acts on GLP-1 receptor sites, just like Ozempic, etc. - which, at least comes with a warning about gastro upset potential.It took a microscopic amount, and in a healthy individual with no history of stomach/gastro problems to result in the worst pain I've ever had. I cannot imagine worse symptoms had I consumed more, or, God forbid, what might happen to an unsuspecting person who does have gastro issues.All to point out the obvious, which is to say, this should never have been approved as a food. I have since submitted this information to the FDA, who hopefully will investigate further. I've also sent a letter to the manufacturer of this product.Curiously (and gratefully), Amazon was swift to issue a refund on a non-refundable item--something they are cracking down on. Made me wonder if this wasn't the first request for an Allulose refund.In the meantime, and at a minimum, Alluose should contain a highly visible warning both on packaging, and in ads. I would not wish what I went through on anyone.
