Sugar substitute allulose tested for Calorie-Burning boost
NCT ID NCT06515340
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how allulose, a low-calorie sweetener, affects how many calories the body burns, which fuels it uses, blood sugar, and hunger. Eleven healthy adults with normal weight took different doses (5, 10, or 20 grams) and were monitored for several hours. The goal was to see if allulose could increase calorie burning or help control appetite, which might be useful for weight management.
