Allulose has 10% of sugar's calories, and claims it does not spike insulin. It recently got FDA approval to not be counted as sugar in nutrition labels.

Of course, more study has to be done I'm sure until we have the official verdict on its health impact.

Has anyone been using this, and what recipes have you used this with - how did it turn out?

    I'll have to research it, don't know this one. But, I am super sensitive to most sweeteners, so always looking for sweeteners that don't make me sick.

    I am really leery of sugar substitutes. I prefer to use something as natural a possible. I usually just use organic sugar and use as little as possible. Let me know what you both find out and how it works for you.

    I might get some if it's affordable. I have bad reactions to most sweeteners other than cane sugar, honey, and stevia. I want to try monk fruit, but can't afford the one without erythritol... Which makes me sick.
