FRUCTOSE, Sucralose, ALLULOSE & Avoiding Insulin Resistance from Artificial & Low-Calorie Sweeteners

[@moonfirewitter6232]

I thought the interview was well done. Good questions, straight to the point and you let Richard talk without interruption.😊

[@S7ilgar]

I love the passion of this scientist, and I love he enables me to understand fructose.

[@jonb9194]

I started taking allulose a few weeks ago, right in the middle of intense distance running training to get back into race shape after a few years of low training. I'm 63, and was not losing weight, but was rapidly changing body composition - losing fat while (re)gaining muscle and strength. After starting allulose, the fat loss accelerated and the strength and muscle gains continued with no change. I actually started losing overall weight while continuing to gain strength. It must be the allulose occupying the GLUT5 receptor, which dramatically reduces fructose absorption while barely affecting glucose absorption for recovery right after a workout.

[@googlefriend8410]

I agree, so does Dr Ben Bikman of BYU. We have been waiting for these studies.

[@lorraineandterryscarnivore1893]

How much do you take a day?

[@szczawnica1]

Allullose may turn out to be another problem particularly in high doses and worse if is made artificially. We had massive problems with fats already. If nature has it in small amount there must be a reason.But food industry want to be selling

[@chewiewins]

Been trying allulose. Found it’s less sweet by comparison to equal amount of sugar, about 70%. And it’s not cheap. But if it’s healthy and also no negative gut flora effect, happy using it.

[@charlessmith3710]

Allulose is a natural sugar. It is not artificial. We don't have the enzymes to process it.

[@MichaelSalo]

48:28 Blocking fructose could be a novel approach against cancer.

[@cyndimanka]

Beware of Allulose. It gives me diarrhea. I went on the carnivore diet to get rid of my 20+ year chronic diarrhea and it’s healed me so much. You add that stuff and I’m right back where I was. Also spices and too much fat give me chronic diarrhea. I do best on salt, beef, eggs, pork For a little dairy and no fruit or no vegetables and no fiber. It’s been almost 2 years now and I have never been better. Before I went carnivore I was keto and my joints hurt every single joint in my body hurts so bad. I don’t have that anymore Either. I think people need to eat what they can. Some people eat spices and it doesn’t bother them. Some people eat vegetables they don’t bother them. We are eating so many more unknown foods these days and it’s really upsetting the system and you need to figure out what that is.

they still sell fructose as a "sugar substitute" as a health food for diabetics... on the diabetic shelf at the grocery.

[@HEARTANDSOULOFMINE]

Good god! The diabetic “industry” is killing us!

[@AlbertaRanch]

So what are we supposed to eat?

[@duane9707]

Meat.

[@edgewound]

Real food. No added sugar. Read the label, if it has one. Real food has no label.

[@ScienceAppliedForGood]

Low carb and keto is good enough. Allulose is potional.

[@Efro1953]

Why is allulose banned in Europe and Canada.? They say it is possibly a carcinogen?

[@ftittaferrante]

Not banned, but not approved for sale yet. From Pen Nutrition, who say they are Dietitians of Canada, "Health Canada's Food and Drug Regulations and the European Food Safety Authority have classified allulose as a novel food ingredient, but safety assessments have not been completed to set an approval rating in these areas."

[@survivormary1126]

Do they say it could be a carcinogen, or are you asking?

They’re waiting for us to b d lab rats and get research in 😂

Curious about trehalose and its autophagy benefits. Any insight? Also glutamine for gut & immune system health. What is insulin response to these?

[@rafeekhpm3378]

Fructose is public enemy numero uno, whether it comes from fruits or any other source

[@jberts3141]

Robert lustig says fruit is fine

[@yoni-3240]

That's not what Dr. Richard Johnson just said. Fruit is fine. It's actually beneficial since it has many valuable antioxidants. On the contrary, consuming refined fructose in the form of sugary drinks - is the enemy.

[@S7ilgar]

​​@@yoni-3240In another interview with Simon Hill, he seems to say that you must stay under 10g of fructose per meal, which is 1 apple or 1 orange or 200g of berries (roughly). I find annoying he explains everything in great details but don't speak straight and clear about how much fructose we can eat.

[@hugsy29]

Yes. Actually many other nutritionists agree... fruit is in fact fine.

[@gaconc1]

Fruits are not fine. Modern fruits are frankenstein.

[@pynn1000]

Allulose - desperate attempt to sell corn because high-fructose corn syrup, in many "food" products, is now well-known as bad for us? Got to keep the US corn industry going?

Runs to look at my last Uric Acid lab 😅

[@jaym9846]

Can you eat excess fat on a low-carb diet? If so, where does the extra fat go?

[@napua5217]

It gets burned as insulin opens the fat cell for storage, with insulin low the body will burn that dietary fat It can burn a lot slower then carbohydrates (esp. processed ones) they get stored easier. In a high insulin state fat gets stored from dietary carbs and fat. Type 1 diabetes sufferers have found this loop hole, if they don’t take insulin to cover their meal, they will not gain any weight since there isn’t any insulin to store the dietary substances, check it out.. it’s wild!

[@napua5217]

Keep insulin low and fat will melt off, i have melted almost 60 lbs of fat now off my body and it has been easy. I keep my insulin low for other health reasons but the fat loss has been a surprising and amazing effect

[@napua5217]

But if you are eating too much fat, you won’t tap into your internal stores. I recommend Prioritize protein (not easily stored as fat and amino acids are needed for so much more then building muscle) don’t fear healthy fat(that comes with the meat, go for fattier cuts, enjoy some butter, full fat yogurt, kefir, aged cheddar, sour cream) avoid seed oils when possible (google a chart) and be conscious of carbohydrates getting them from whole and unprocessed sources (no boxes and bags, less from foods with a barcode that’s been processed) enjoy lots of non starchy veggies and some lower sugar fruit Fiber helps slow absorption (have fruit after dinner- If needed) chocolate sweetened with Stevia or monkfruit (lilys milk chocolate taste like recess, I like the dark too!) Try to eat larger meals containing high amounts of protein and enough fat, less carbohydrates. And eat less often- big meals less often, less snacking - give your body time to digest and also you won’t be hungry after time. If you need a snack focus on a high protein snack (chunk of meat, egg, aged cheese with deli meat even ) something with a little fat and protein that is in whole form)

[@yoso585]

It goes to the fat cells. If it gets digested and absorbed, it will go to the fat cells if in excess. There are no free rides as some may preach. I think there are those that can add a lot of excess fat, not absorb it, and then think it vanishes magically. Truth is, came out the butt’

[@maitey338]

@@truthseeker8502 You would want that if you're on a carnivore diet, otherwise constipation is inevitable.

[@faylouise8169]

kind of sales pitchy, oooh.. allulose good for development, oooh fruits have many healthy components to them LOL!, but, with all these smart people, i would rather see discussions on why gip/glp are perturbed in carbocentric eating.

Really, most of the discussion was not about allulose ...

[@saxgirlhornboy6458]

Thank you. Please pipe up more often!

[@jamesdean7756]

This is not true. I’m hungry all the time on keto. I can’t stop eating throughout the day until about 3 o’clock.

[@S7ilgar]

Try to limit your food intakes to 3 at regular times of the day. It has been proven that intermittent fasting (so delaying your next food intake) reduce hunger hormones. Another reason can be if you're too low on body fat (

[@ElizabethAlexander-yz3nb]

You aren't eating enough fat if that is true. Two meals a day is all you need if you eat enough fat.

[@curlyq9901]

I agree, you are not eating enough fat. I live OMAD lifestyle; I do not experience the constant hungry feeling you report. Could it be that it is more just working through your food addiction(s) and/or habits, traditions, etc? I know I had a rough six months as I changed my lifestyle to keto. In fact, I still miss sugary carbs even though I intellectually know how damaging they are to my body and brain. And of course, that is the definition of addiction 🙄

[@xaviersiby4801]

I agree, not enough fat in your diet. I'm on OMAD, for about 3 months now and dropped 10kgs. I break my fast at about 12:30pm with a big glass of buttermilk and bowl of nuts. That in itself provide about 35g of fat and about 20g of protein. Then I have my usual meals but with very little carbs, moderate amount of vegetables and 200-300 gms of meats- chicken, beef, pork, fish etc... I'm not hungry till 12:30pm the next day.

[@RojaJaneman]

Eat some chia/flax/basil seeds right before meal. Then lots of greens, protein and fats. Shouldn’t b hungry after that.

[@Mr-hn2bp]

[@ohrein]

Allulose is just another commercial product. We don't need another sugar. We should eat for nutrition, not for pleasure.

[@S7ilgar]

That is a very sad vision of food. You can eat for both pleasure and nutrition, and for pure pleasure a few times a week.

[@JJ-ur9yp]

@@S7ilgarYou said it beautifully.

[@EagleScout1976]

Interesting discussion but he lost a lot of credibility every time he mentioned reducing salt. He should know better. In fact, I have heard him make the point that low sodium levels can increase insulin resistance, so he is not being consistent. Studies have also shown reducing salt increased all-cause mortality and has virtually no effect on blood pressure. This myth needs to die. ***I'm not a doctor and I am not giving medical advice. Do your own research***

You can use inulin as a sugar substitute.
