The Truth About Agave Nectar: It’s All Hype
All sugar- from table sugar to HFCS (high-fructose corn syrup) to honey- contains some mixture of fructose and glucose. Table sugar is 50/50, HFCS is 55/45. Agave nectar is a whopping 90% fructose, almost- but not quite- twice as high as HFCS.
Craziness. But a good lesson: even with organic, natural, etc food (maybe ESPECIALLY with this kind of food), common sense is more important than marketing. Keep it simple kids, and follow Michael Pollan’s advice: Eat Food, Not a Lot, Mostly Green.
