By the looks of it it's a sugar alcohol just like Xylitol and Erythritol.

- okra. Cigarette smoke, old, new, and permeating a room, wafting from a balcony, etc etc. That I have so many chronic diseases. That I take so very many meds. Being cold. Anything too loud, but specifically non-classical music and the television.
Interesting. I bought some to make... marshmallows ( !), and tasted a bit last night. BG went up .8 to 6.7 from a 2-hr-post and 3.5-hr-post meal reading. And is up even further this morning's FBG. It can only be the allulose, methinks. Ah well. I'll take all week to get BG back down again, then maybe do another trial. For self-comparison, 4-5 times that much erythritol does nothing to me.

I'm not sure if it's readily available to buy for domestic use in the UK, but I think I read that it's licensed to be used by food manufacturers.
