JJ Virgin (creator/uploader) presents a short YouTube video promoting allulose, a "rare sugar," and debunking common myths: she claims allulose does not raise blood sugar or insulin, may lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity (reducing type 2 diabetes risk), resists gut fermentation so it doesn't cause gas, and that 70–84% of its calories are not absorbed. The clip concludes by endorsing allulose as a natural, healthful sugar substitute.
