Allulose Is One of the Safest Sweeteners Available

Allulose has been consumed in Japan for over 30 years with an excellent safety record. The FDA has granted allulose GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status. Potential side effects are mild and dose-dependent: consuming very large amounts (more than 54g at once) may cause temporary digestive discomfort like bloating or loose stools in some individuals. At normal serving sizes (5-15g per use), most people experience zero side effects. Compared to erythritol (cardiovascular concerns), sugar alcohols (bloating and gas), and artificial sweeteners (controversial safety profiles), allulose has one of the cleanest safety records of any sweetener.
