Healthy and with few restrictions!
Allulose is closer to sucrose, and the difference from sucrose is almost imperceptible, so there is no need to mask the bad aftertaste by compounding, and it can be used independently. Allulose is almost not metabolized and does not provide calories after being absorbed by the intestinal tract, so it will not cause gastrointestinal discomfort like sugar alcohols. This is what distinguishes allulose from other sugars, and its most prominent advantage as an alternative sweetener.
