Allulose as a sugar is getting a lot of well deserved attention. We are seeing some pretty remarkable science with respect to allulose as it relates to metabolic health and specifically, weight loss. I felt, as such, that it would be a good idea to interview Dr. Benjamin Bikman on the Empowering Neurologist program today. Let me tell you more about Dr. Bikman.
Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the role of elevated insulin and nutrient metabolism in regulating obesity, diabetes, and dementia.
In our time together, we discuss the important science of allulose as it relates to fat distribution in the body, insulin resistance, heart disease, fatty liver disease, cognitive decline, and even how allulose is able to lower uric acid, an area that I'm certainly interested in.
I hope you enjoy this fascinating interview with Dr. Benjamin Bikman.

Smaller in stature doesn’t equate to “fit”. Also, I’m a slender person, but I crave chocolate like crazy. Sugar makes me so super sick because of the insulin resistance and inflammation that I avoid it, but I still crave chocolate items everyday. I even went a year without eating chocolate.

[@livialaurenzano4081]

I don’t have a continuous glucose monitor, but I do the standard finger prick two hours after I have a meal and this is how I keep track of it and see what happens. You can’t measure it too soon after you eat- you’ve got to give the glucose time to get into the blood. Typically your blood sugar peaks about an hour and a half to two hours after you begin eating. It’s not just what you eat. It’s the way you eat. I have found that if I have eggs and bacon some avocado, in the morning with one or two Wassa crisp breads with butter, (these were recommended by Dr. Atkins years ago as a replacement for bread)-And then I will have one or two small homemade cranberry muffins with cream cheese -no naked carbs here. This keeps my blood sugar within a good range -I try to keep it between 70 and 130. Usually it’s less than 120 whenever I eat. Erythritol destroys my gut. I’ve purchased some monk fruit with Allulose. (Lakanto brand). I’m going to try it but only in moderation. I may try a half a teaspoon or so in my coffee although I do like black coffee -that’s not a problem for me. I may try it in some baked goods just to reduce the amount of standard table sugar, and reduce the carbohydrate content. I’ll have to see how that works. I also try to reduce the carb count by reducing the amount of flour and substituting with a quantity of almond flour. Godspeed to all of you out there who are trying to figure out what works best for you. Just one other thing --the comment about some doctors not wanting people to have continuous glucose monitors because then people will just worry too much. This is what’s been happening in the medical establishment. Medical knowledge is no longer the monopoly of doctors and nurses, and a lot of them don’t like that. But what they should realize is that they have contributed to this. They are gradually going to put themselves out of a job because they stopped being independent critical thinkers doing what’s best for every individual patient and started practicing algorithmic medicine. And this is because in the 1980s, the pharmaceutical industry began taking over medical education. This is not just for people. This has been happening in veterinary colleges too. While there are exceptions, most doctors have become nothing more than drug reps for the pharmaceutical companies. -they have become nothing more than prescribers. The doctor is not supposed to dictate treatment. Their job is to educate you, present the options and you decide what treatment if any you will adopt. So the responsibility now is on everybody’s shoulders to inform yourselves and go to your doctor armed with information and questions. Don’t go there like a submissive child, -don’t be afraid to respectfully challenge them and hopefully you can encourage them to have a one on one adult discussion with you instead of treating you like a child who should just obey.

[@FreeTurtleboy]

[@user-kc7mu4jp4p]

@livialorenzano Correct!

[@kelliez9991]

Wrong. With the finger prick 2 hours after you eat, you miss the spike! My diabetes kept getting worse, the dr. Just kept increasing meds. I switched Drs and bought CGM because my insurance wont pay for it. Finally, reducing carbs, BG numbers going down as well as weight. Finally!

[@livialaurenzano4081]

@@kelliez9991 So happy for you that you switched doctors. This is exactly what I was talking about -the doctors who just want to prescribe. Fortunately, I am not diabetic. I have found that for me if I take it an hour to two hours after I begin eating, I catch the highest level that’s what I’m looking for and then it starts going down after that. Godspeed.

[@livialaurenzano4081]

@@kelliez9991 I am sure you know that with the continuous glucose monitor there is a delay because it doesn’t measure the blood directly but the interstitial fluid so one still has to do a finger prick periodically to check the accuracy of the monitor. That’s the other reason why I decided not to use one. But I am so glad that you finally decided to reduce your carbohydrate intake. When you were with your first doctor, did he tell you that or was he just wanting to use meds?

[@TheRoamingbison]

Where I've found allulose useful is in BBQ rubs. In standard rubs they use sugar to help the bark formation because it caramelizes. Allulose caramelizes like regular sugar so it works great as a substitute. Even though the amount of sugar you would get from your meat's dry rub is probably incidental I still prefer to keep my sugar intake minimal.

You mention the inflammation in the body. I accidentally came across a video where Clint Ober was interviewed. He is the one who brought grounding into the forefront. He and others have done scientific studies of the effect of grounding on chronic inflammation in the body. He developed grounding mats that could be used by people that can't get outside to ground with the earth. I bought one on Amazon because I had several things in my body that I could not get my regular doctors to help me with. I had swelling of my ankles and feet on and off for several years. I was told by a cardiologist just to wear compression stockings. I wasn't satisfied with that bandaid. Also since July of this year, I was having pain in my soft tissues from the waist down. It hurt anywear to touch my lower body. I wondered if I had fibromyalgia. So after using the grounding mat consistently for a week, all the swelling in my ankles and feet went away. The pain that I was feeling from the waist down totally disappeared. Plus my hemorrhoids have shrunk down dramatically. Grounding works for many disease and degenerative diseases. Check it out!!

[@GvIn2it]

When I started on Allulose, I really embraced it, thinking how good it was for me. Eating 40 and sometimes up to 75 grams in Keto desserts. I was wondering which ingredient was causing stomach pain, I finally narrowed it down when I read the following from a study: "In conclusion, a major aim of our study was to compare the digestive tolerance associated with D-allulose consumption throughout the day, in the aforementioned two manners. We identified the maximum single dose of D-allulose to be 0.4 g allulose/kg·BW for occasional ingestion and the maximum total daily intake for this sugar substitute to be 0.9 g allulose/kg·BW for regular ingestion. In other words, the maximum single dose of D-allulose for adults with a mean body weight of 60 kg was 24 g, and up to 54 g can be consumed daily without any side effects." You can read it yourself, just google all or part of the quoted text. I think I can use Allulose in combo with other sweeteners as long as I stay within the guidelines, I at 80kg won't go over 30 grams/day.

[@Darklion39]

You shouldn't be embracing it, it should be a supplement to a minor cheat meal, such as in coffee or one keto cinnamon roll or something. You should be worried about habitually abusing an experimental hormone modulator, despite these very early clinical claims that it is completely safe, and we all know how those go 10 years down the line.

Very interesting conversation, thank you both. I started buying allulose to use in my low-carb ice cream. It helps keep it from hardening into a solid brick. I will definitely be switching over to using more allulose in my coffee and other sweets. I am also thrilled that you covered so much on insulin resistance. Which is a subject most of my healthcare team looks at me like a lunatic for insisting that too much insulin is the root of my problems, and adding more is NOT going to cure anything! And thanks to you gentlemen, I know adding allulose to my coffee should help me restore my insulin sensitivity. I will be sharing this, to help educate my doctors. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! BTW, I have dementia coming at me from both sides of the family, so I like that allulose can help my brain use ketones and function better. I've spent 40+ years with fibromyalgia. The last thing I want to have happen is to have my brain stop functioning, like my mom's seemed to do from something like Alzheimer's disease. Again thank you for this very useful interview!

[@EricAdamsonMI]

If you've never tried keto, but are open to the idea, may I recommend a 4-week stint. When I did that, I lost twenty actual pounds, saw food cravings vanish, and my sweetness receptors found processed foods overly sweet. This made it easy to transition to low-carb & intermittent fasting, helping me lose another twenty pounds over the following six months. To be clear, weight loss was not my goal, but a welcome side effect. Dietary changes improved my health considerably, improving or "curing" numerous chronic ailments. My feeling is thar we are overly and unduly accustomed to sweetness, and crutches like allulose are not helping. After recalibrating my taste buds, and sweet treats are no longer a daily thing, I find that I appreciate them much more.

Because of being able to wear a CGM, I was able to see the wall before crashing into it and becoming diabetic and I was able to bring my blood sugar way down and drastically improve my health. Needless to say, I also insisted my husband get one and HE TOO was insulin resistant and was able to turn his health around (we both went super clean keto, heavy on meat and protein / fat) and are now healthier than ever.

People eat and drink plenty of shit that they know is harmful in large quantities, including aspartame and MSG.

Im not trying to be rightious . I just miss those i love and have seen so much diabetes in people and animals too. I have noticed resentments for success and not eating junk when offered. Would one offer alcohol to a child or heroine to an addict ,I believe sugar is a main reason so many people get sick and inherit diamentias. Sadly both my parents had diamentias and passed away from complications there of. A very long goodbye ,I just see it ( diamentias) as a 3rd kind of diabetes. I have experienced much judgement and snarcastic remarks about not eating sugar anymore. Ironically i have been many sizes and shapes and get it that anyone gets to choose how they eat. But seriuosly i used to be a baker and wedding cake maker and i love to cook .There is a whole food world out there with low carb and ketogenic foods and replacements and wonderful recipes. I don`t understand the resentments about learning food replacements and newways of eating.just take for instance Wieght Watchers , it`s a different way of eating and learning curve ! I hope with information like this we can as humans be OPEN to awareness of what we are experiencing and we can own our part in our health ,even healthy fats and different sugar replacements for better health .

DRUG Sorcery PHARMACEUTICALS!!!! Especially in Revelation reveal this deception! Gal 5:19 Now the works of the sinful nature are evident: adultery(also with the eyes and mind), sexual immorality (child molestation, rape, incest, fornication, bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, LGBTQ, pornography, foreign pagan lineage, incest, prostitution, etc.), impurity, lustfulness, Gal 5:20 idolatry, PHARMACEUTICS [DRUG SORCERIES, witchcraft], hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, rivalry, dissension, divisions, Gal 5:21 envy, murders, intoxication, drunken riots, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of Yahuwah. 1. Sorcerers(taking pharmaceuticals) will NOT NOT NOT inherit the kingdom. 2. Let thy clean nutritional fruit, vegys, nuts, seeds, and cold pressed oils, be thy medicine like Daniel did. “And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their drug sorceries (chemical pharmaceuticals), nor of their whoring, nor of their thefts.” ‭‭Ḥazon (Revelation)‬ ‭9:21‬ ‭ For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery (chemical pharmaceuticals) (medicines) all the nations were led astray.” ‭‭Ḥazon (Revelation)‬ ‭18:23‬ ONE SORE? THIS SCRIPTURE Sounds like a vac’s to me! ..... “And the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and an evil and wicked sore came upon the men, those having the mark of the beast and those worshipping his image.” ‭‭Ḥazon (Revelation)‬ ‭ He killed Asa for going to a doctor. “And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his disease was severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek יהוה, but the physicians. So Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.” ‭‭Diḇre haYamim Bĕt (2 Chronicles)‬ ‭16:12-13‬ ‭TS2009‬‬ He says He is our Rapha EL! And the disciple Luke never gave out chemical pharmaceuticals or shots which is sin. Without taking the mark of the beast……We wont be able to buy sell or trade without having it....or have a job or go shopping...n etc... The vac’s is definitely doing this and even the masks, which compromise our health, did this. Exodus 7:11 alludes to the mask and the hidden agendas and hidden people behind the agendas. Secret hiding. Lahat is enchantment and it means to veil or mask it, covering that hides what is behind it. Similar to a lizard with camouflaged capabilities. Hasatan is twisting around and seducing with materialism, money, food, drugs, sex, whatever way he can to get people to stay away from the covenant or to break covenant. He always has. It’s not something new like we think. Some just are like Amalek and won’t repent, also like Pharaoh. And also the others who are the “giant” leaders or kings like Solomon that allowed his head to be turned away, by the daughters of these pharaohs ( adams/men), and he never repented. And Solomon overtaxed and sacrificed his children to molech. They also did in like manner with their enchantments - The word להתים lahatim, comes from להט mor lahat, to burn, to set on fire; and probably signifies such incantations as required lustral fires, sacrifices, fumigations, burning of incense, aromatic and odoriferous DRUGS, etc., …as the means of evoking departed spirits or assistant demons, by whose ministry, it is probable, the magicians in question wrought some of their deceptive miracles: for as the term miracle signifies properly something which exceeds the powers of nature or art to produce (see also Exo 7:9). Deuteronomy 32:31-33 n 42 Gall is Roshe, which is opium n was cultivated by Sodom n Gomorrah. Which was likely the drug capital of the world....Seducing and raping. Gal (which Is the short of Galgotha, which is dancing on the head Messiah and all His believing people to destroy Him which they try but they ultimately can’t) So it’s one of the venoms n sin n evil spirit that strikes the heal but HaMashiach will stomp its head! They were likely enticed by more than sex in Numbers Chapter 25, drugs were surely involved. Even so it’s all sin that destroys. Also Gall is what they gave HaMashiach when He was cursed on the Tree for us and He rejected the drug! He is the wave offering and He conquered sin and paid our citations for disobeying the law, and throws it as far as the east to the west, that is…IF we repent and love His covenant with a circumcised heart. Obey Torah/TaNaK) (which is the SCRIPTURE Messiah said they were erring in) and desire to be His unblemished bride, Hebrew(crossed over)YsraEl! Set Apart! satan reminded HaMashiach with revenge at His suffering to His death, with the Gall of Sodom and Gomorrah and how many were destroyed by the drugs but HaMashiach will have the final victory! And even if it were just vinegar like some say, Messiah was taking a Nazarite Vow and would not drink it anyways because of His vow not being ended yet. He is High Priest and will do a sacrifice ending His Numbers 6 Nazarite Vow and come with blood already on His vesture of the sacrifice to end His Vow. He is not drinking of the grape, He is not touching the dead yet and He is not cutting His hair after His hair was taken out. We will also do sacrifice n the Holy Days in the 1000 year reign. Read Zechariah 16-21 Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food! Amen! Every herb is highly medicinal seed bearing straight from YaH! And stop eating off satans table. Obey the Scriptures. We must Obey YaH and His Holy Word! We must not be lukewarm and lawless or we will be spewed from His mouth!

Americans take a lot for granted. I'm in the uk and my mother is now type 2 diabetic , my brother has been type 1 diabetic for nearly 20 years and my grandfather was too. When I spoke to my doctor before covid i asked shouldn't i test my blood for this? His response was that we don't bother doing that anymore. You assume the whole world has their fasting blood sugar tested 'once a year'. In the UK we don't have to pay directly for our healthcare, but we still pay for it. However, we don't have a system where we can present ourselves and ask for what we believe we should have to manage our health. It works like this: 'I'm ill can I see a doctor?' no, tell us what is wrong with you and then if we need to see you then you can come in. It's better that nothing.

@@Kathleen, yes, homemade ice cream is wonderful!!

Blend, then let spin for 25 minutes in an ice cream maker until it’s a soft serve consistency, then freeze. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, blend this until it thickens, and then freeze it. It will be icy instead of a creamy texture, but it will still taste good. I definitely prefer the creaminess though of putting it in an ice cream maker!

[@ShaneZettelmier]

This is cool. Among the only semi-healthy sweeteners, aulos, Stevia, leaf monk, fruit and erythritol, aulos I find is also the best for cooking in some cases, it thickens, and also sort of caramelizes. From health standpoint, that’s not a big deal, but from a cooking standpoint, it is, the other ones just basically stay like water And they work for putting sweetness in but for glazes and texture in cooking aulos is the only one that works. I’m not gonna pretend it’s like sugar but it’s the closest for sure. I’m not sure that any of these sweeteners are really good for you completely. The truth is even the taste of sweetness can trigger insulin because mentally your body thinks it’s eating sugar and prepares by releasing insulin so you still wanna be careful not to make things too sweet And I would still suggest people use these rarely. But it’s undeniable that sugar is productive to our bodies and especially when you’re used to eating carbs, your whole life, it’s incredibly hard to get used to not eating a lot of foods and having sweet foods and replacing it with Allos or Stevia leaf can make that process a little more bearable Though, I would suggest that people get healthy get used to not eating the sugar and then start to back off on these things and sweet foods in general as part of our regular diet. The brain still interprets these taste or sensations as if we are eating sugar and will still dump insulin And that’s OK occasionally but should be avoided, I try to eat the sweeter tasting foods along with regular meals, I found that snacking throughout the day, especially with sweet tasting foods can still be a problem in dealing with insulin resistance so if you combine it with your meals, then it’s releasing at the proper time and less frequently

[@ravelanone9462]

Only tiny amounts occur naturally in figs, etc. But the allulose you can buy is not made from figs, it's usually fermented from corn or rice. It's easy to obtain. But it is not as sweet as sugar, and if you're trying to replace sugar in a recipe, you have to use about one-third more allulose than sugar. I find it works well for some things, not as well for others, and best when you add a tiny amount of another sugar, such as coconut sugar, date sugar, honey, or some other sweetener. I don't use "sugar substitutes" (stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, etc.) because I find they all have a bad taste. Then again, it's very good to learn to eat things that are really good while not being very sweet. I no longer sweeten things that I was taught to sweeten. Coffee is deliciously bitter, Greek yogurt is deliciously sour, etc.

Thank you Sir for interviewing one of my favorite Research Doctors! Mr Bikman is a name that crosses my lips at least once a week. I brag about him all the time. I was bragging about him before I knew him by name because his RESEARCH is so applicable. Even my physicians from a decade ago would get flustered when I would quote recent studies and data and wanted to apply it to my health when they would become stumped. I can tell you first hand, a LOT of doctors do NOT like their patients being informed. I once said autophagy to a doctor and she stormed out of the room and wrote nasty things in my records about starvation and fad dieting, I was only mentioning intermittent and short fasts. She dismissed it as dangerous trends and I quoted it was a study from a famous medical teaching hospital and she got hot under the collar. There is an ego fear in them that they may not know "everything". I don't need my doctor to "know everthing" but I expect them to listen and learn. I had one doctor who was always impressed that she didn't have to baby talk to me about my own issues because I know the terminology and that reduced confusion when planning medicines or treatments because she know I was not going to make a mistake and I knew she was listening because we used the same lingo. Anyway, I appreciate the talk you had with Bikman and the science that is know about this sweetener. I honestly have move into using it more mostly because of it's benefits with cooking and the lack of the 'cooling' effect, But knowing there are other benefits is the "icing" on the cake ( I dont even like icing!)

I don't view the expense as a downside. Sweetened treats long ago became far, far too commonplace and taken for granted. I'd be lucky as a kid to have had a single soda in a week, now people they deserve one per hour. Let the expense deter you from frivolous consumption.

What about allulose causing glycation of proteins, producing harmful AGEs? See study entitled "Microwave glycation of soy protein isolate with rare sugar (D-allulose), fructose and glucose"

[@ddutton4716]

They conclude: "To conclude, D-allulose was found to be more reactive than fructose and glucose on the glycation of SPI and reactivity of sugars could be ordered as D-allulose > fructose > glucose."

Great information! Thank you!

Thank you for this informative video! I'm a type 2 diabetic. Low carb and small amounts of sugar or sugar substitutes occasionally have worked for me. Most of the "natural" sugar substitutes like stevia and monk fruit have a nasty after taste. Allulose, who knows about long term effects plus I tried some once and noticed the sweetening effect isn't up to table sugar or other sugar substitutes. I also notice some of these sweeteners seem to cause cravings for me and revs up my appetite. Plus for some even a sugar substitute may cause a fairly good rise in blood glucose and they think this may be because the brain senses the sweetness and treats it as sugar. The search continues for a decent substitute...

Allulose is also used by the good bacteria inside of your gut. I love to combine a little bit of starch with allulose to feed my microbiome. Surprised neither of you guys mentioned that.

[@Kat-oc1zi]

It is my understanding that the body can't absorb allulose and that your bacteria don't interact with it at all. I heard that it all passes through your body and basically has no nutritional effect one way or the other. Have you heard something different?

[@dawnelder9046]

I heard about that study. Have not looked it up yet.

[@petermalmgren1207]

Good point

[@tonyawhitten5199]

It can also cause gas and bloating.

[@jimbeaver27]

some allulose has 10% fibre in it
