Need a little assistance. I found the Know Better Double Chocolate cookies on Amazon, which say they are 4g of carbs per cookie. There were no postings of the nutritional label, which should have raised a red flag, but I bought them anyway. Christmas morning sound found them in her stocking, and we read the label.
As you can see 42g Carbs, 12g Fiber, and 28g Sugars. I went to there web site and they said the 28g of Sugars, is actually 26 grams of Allulose. I did some research and it looks like the FDA mandates that Allulose, a nature grown sugar alternative, must be listed as Sugar in the nutrition. Weâre a bit skeptical, as weâve never heard of Allulose. Iâve also found other sites, that agree with what is said from Know Better Foods, but I just donât want this to be a âtoo good to be trueâ scenario.
Anyone find additional information, and is it truly low carb?
Know Better Cookies
Allulose is an isomer of fructose that appears in small quantities in nature. The claim is that it is about 70% as sweet as sucrose, with 10% of the calories. It is âgenerally recognized as safeâ by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but is not allowed in food in Europe.
Studies cited in one article I read make this substance sound like a miracle: it supposedly prevents you from putting on weight, heals fatty liver disease, and so on. Note, however, that only one of the studies cited was in people and was quite small (n = 20); the rest were studies done in rats and mice, the results of which which may or may not translate to human beings.
As for these cookies, since just one cookie provides 14% of the recommended daily amount of carbohydrate in the Standard American Diet, which is a very high amount, much higher than my daily goal of 0 grams, I believe Iâll give them a miss, thanks.
Perhaps the joke is⌠You Should Know Better! The carb math just looks funky to me. 
Late to this thread, I know, but I just had one of the Know Food classic waffles for breakfast, and 4 hours later I dropped out of ketosis (. 2 mmol) for the first time since I started measuring. So disappointed! And worried that I need to toss everything I ordered from Know Foods. @richard and @carl, any chance youâve seen any science on Allulose and keto? Anyone else have a similar experience?
I think we are going to need more information on Allulose. Its a rather new sugar. Quest did their own research and say itâs insulin friendly. keep in mind, that it is their research. I think this one may require that I break out the BG Meter and find out for myself. 
Would love to hear what you find. As a newbie to the keto lifestyle, I am more than a little freaked out by this turn of events.
Did we ever find out anything definitively on these cookies? @richard and @carl? Looking for a little thought and opinion here.
we made some icecream with Allulose at Breck. Mechanistically it works in a recipe very similar to sugar, altering the freezing point of cream. But interestingly 2 people (of the 50 or so who tasted the ice cream) had significant hypoglycemic effects.
Keto connect did a test of their ketones and blood sugar after eating 3 tbs of allulose. It had no effect there, but it did have a laxative effect.
Keto connect talk about allulose test
Keto connect test of 10 sweeteners including allulose
The testing is just on themselves, so an n=2 experiment. Still helpful!
âLaxative effectâ with 26g of odd sugar⌠I think the technical term is âdisaster pantsâ or âRumble guts.â
