Sucrose 50 g B. Sucrose 50 g + D-allulose (psicose) 2.5 g C. Sucrose 50 g + D-allulose (psicose) 5 g D. Sucrose 50 g + D-allulose (psicose) 7.5 g E. Sucrose 50 g + D-allulose (psicose) 10 g Study plan Screening (visit 0) Obtain inform consent History taking for medical problems, smoking, alcoholic drinking, concurrent medication, contraception or menopausal status, weight history Measure body weight, height and calculated BMI Measure waist and hip circumference Body composition measurement by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) Complete physical examination Urine pregnancy test in all female of childbearing potential Provide 24-hour food record Ask to come back within 1 week Visit 1: (day 7 or 6-11 days) Complete physical examination Randomize subject to receive any 1 of 5 study products Perform OSTT with that product Return food record Provide 24-hour food record Adverse events evaluation Ask to come back within 7 +/- 4 days Visit 2: (day 7 or 6-11 days from visit 1) Complete physical examination Randomize subject to receive any 1 of 4 study product which are left Perform OSTT with that product Return food record Provide 24-hour food record Adverse events evaluation Ask to come back within 7 +/- 4 days Visit 3 (day 7 or 6-11 days from visit 2) Complete physical examination Randomize subject to receive any 1 of 3 study product which are left Perform OSTT with that product Return food record Provide 24-hour food record Adverse events evaluation Ask to come back within 7 +/- 4 days Visit 4 (day 7 or 6-11 days from visit 3) Complete physical examination Randomize subject to receive any 1 of 2 study product which are left Perform OSTT with that product Return food record Provide 24-hour food record Adverse events evaluation Ask to come back within 7 +/- 4 days Visit 5 (day 7 or 6-11 days from visit 4) Complete physical examination Perform OSTT with the product that is left Return food record Adverse events evaluation Adverse Event Assessment At each visit, participants will be asked an open question as if he/she has experienced any abnormal symptoms. Any symptom reported by the participants will be recorded as an adverse events with details of the event, its severity, start and stop dates, and relationship to study products. Gastrointestinal symptoms (heartburn, distension, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, flatulence, constipation and diarrhea) within 24 hours after OSTT will be asked and recorded as well. Withdrawal criteria Those who are not able to complete 5 visits of OSTT within 8 weeks Those who cannot provide 24-hour dietary record at each visit Those who start any medication that might cause increasing in plasma glucose during participating in the study

Eligible subjects will come for visit 1 to consume varying dose of D-allulose with sucrose beverage with 1 of 5 beverages in a random order which will be blinded for both subjects and investigators. They will have to do 24-hour dietary record a day prior to each visit. Subjects have to be abstained from energy diet within 8 hours prior to each visit. Venous blood samples will be collected 6 mL for measurement of FPG and insulin before taking any study product. Subjects have to drink all within 1 minute. Blood samples will be drawn again 6 mL at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after consumption for measurement of PG and insulin. Every subject will be asked to come back to finish OSTT with 5 study products in a random order, each at 7 days or >5 days and <12 days apart.
