Allulose as a Novel Nutritional Strategy for Hyperuricemia: Mechanistic Links Between Rare Sugars, Uric Acid, and Metabolic Health
Allulose offers sweetness with minimal calories and glycemic impact while avoiding fructose-driven ATP depletion and uric acid overproduction, supporting uric-acid-conscious, metabolically friendly dietary patterns.

The Tale of Two Sugars: How Fructose Drives Disease While D-Allulose Promotes Health
Fructose bypasses glycolytic regulation through uncontrolled fructokinase activity, producing uric acid and driving hepatic lipogenesis linked to metabolic disease. In contrast, D-allulose—fructose’s structural counterpart—offers metabolic benefits through GLP-1 stimulation, improved glucose control, and anti-lipogenic effects, representing a promising therapeutic alternative.
