Natural-sounding sweeteners are not automatically better than artificial ones. FDA says approved sweeteners can be used safely in intended amounts, and the real question is what role the sweetener plays in the whole diet.
Allulose is interesting because it is a sugar with a different metabolic profile, while monk fruit and stevia-derived ingredients are used because they add sweetness with little or no calories. That can help some people reduce added sugar, but it does not make a sweet drink or snack healthy by default.
The best test is boring and useful: check total sugar, calories, and serving size. If the product helps you eat or drink less sugar without making everything else worse, that is a win. If it just gives you permission to keep overdoing dessert, it is marketing.
