You might want to stay away from Agave ... this from Maria Emmerich (nutritionalist) ..."Agave Syrup is marketed as “low glycemic" and that is true, but let's look into why agave syrup is “low glycemic.” It is due to the shockingly high concentration of fructose. It is 90% fructose and 10% glucose. Sugar is about 50/50% fructose to glucose, honey is about 55% fructose, high fructose corn syrup can range from 55-65% fructose." she has 7 extended reasons why to stay away from fructose.

just a touch of what she says about glucose and fructose ... check out Maria Emmerich website/blog or on Facebook ... she promotes a no sugar lifestyle and gives reasons why ...
