The Claim
In healthy adults with elevated fasting glucose, consumption of 25-gram portions of allulose, 1-kestose, and resistant maltodextrin individually results in minimal postprandial glucose responses, confirming their low-glycemic nature.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When healthy adults with high fasting blood sugar eat 25 grams of allulose, 1-kestose, or resistant maltodextrin, their blood glucose levels rise very little after eating.
See the scientific wording
In healthy adults with elevated fasting glucose, allulose, 1-kestose, and resistant maltodextrin each elicit minimal postprandial glucose responses when consumed alone as 25-gram carbohydrate portions, confirming their low-glycemic nature.
When these carbohydrates are eaten, they block sugar from being absorbed in the gut and make the stomach empty more slowly, so blood sugar does not rise after eating.
What the research says
1 studyWhen people ate allulose, 1-kestose, or resistant maltodextrin by themselves, their blood sugar didn’t go up — and in fact, two of them made blood sugar go down a bit. So yes, they don’t act like sugar.
