Glycemic and Cardiometabolic Effects of Rare Sugars Allulose and Tagatose: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Controlled Human Intervention Trials

Key Points

• To assess the effects of rare sugars allulose and tagatose on glycemic and cardiometabolic parameters.
• Conducted a systematic review of controlled human intervention trials
• Analyzed data from multiple studies to estimate combined effects
• Focused on glycemic and cardiometabolic outcomes
• Allulose and tagatose significantly reduce glycemic levels
• Improvements observed in cardiometabolic markers
• Findings imply potential benefits for dietary interventions
