Every January, the media cycles through "miracle" diets and "holy grail" ingredients. Currently, the spotlight is on allulose. It’s touted as the ultimate metabolic loophole—a rare sugar that tastes like the real thing but carries near-zero calories.
But as we peel back the layers of popular health trends to focus on what truly builds B.E.B.B.I.S. (pronounced babies), we find that allulose may be a "ghost sugar" that leaves behind a very real trail of destruction.
Scientifically, allulose is fascinating. Unlike sugar alcohols (like erythritol) which can cause significant GI distress, about 70% of allulose is absorbed in the small intestine. However, it takes a "road to nowhere." Your body lacks the enzymes to convert it into energy ($ATP$). It circulates in your blood before being filtered by the kidneys and excreted unchanged in your urine.
While this means no insulin spike, we must ask: is flooding our kidneys with a foreign, unutilizable sugar truly "healthy," or is it simply a less-bad version of a processed lifestyle?
The most critical risk of allulose isn't how it behaves in your gut—it's how it behaves in your kitchen. Allulose is a reducing sugar, and chemically, it is far more reactive than glucose.
When you bake a "keto treat" with allulose, you aren't just sweetening it; you are accelerating the Maillard Reaction. This is the process where sugars and proteins fuse under heat. In clinical terms, this is glycation.
It is a profound biological truth that your body has billions of years of experience handling raw, unheated sugars like those found in fruit or honey.
When you consume a small amount of raw honey, your body knows exactly what to do. The liver manages it, the insulin shuttles it, and the mitochondria burn it clean. There is no "chemical violence" from high-heat processing.
In contrast, allulose is a novel industrial addition to our food supply. We have no long-term data on how a daily load of this "ghost sugar" impacts the delicate filtration mesh of your kidneys or the inflammatory markers of your vascular system.
The goal of the B.E.B.B.I.S. way (Bacon, Eggs, Butter, Beef, Ice Cream, Salt) is to provide the human machine with the most nutrient-dense, lowest-toxin fuel possible.
If you crave sweetness, don't reach for a chemistry lab creation that "browns" your insides. Reach for the Raw Protocol:
By skipping the "keto junk food" and embracing raw, living nutrients, you stop the internal "burn" and allow your body to focus on its most important job: creation.
