      Yep- allulose isn’t mentioned a lot, but there it is in the background, just doing it’s job. ❤️
      And no problems have been associated with it so far.
      I think.
      I loved erythritol, but it’s questionable to me now, and I’m not getting good answers from anyone I trust here on CZcams, Dr.Berg included. (Unless I missed it, so if anyone knows any comments from Dr B or any trusted source for erythritol’s safety, I’d appreciate it.)
