Agave

I attacked corn sugar (high fructose corn syrup) the other day, and I just now read a new scare wandering the internet about the horrific consequences of consuming agave nectar as an alternative sweetener. I could toss in a few links, but I am too tired and lazy. I will say this, however, I never mess with alternative sweeteners unless I know where they come from, how they are processed, and I know that they are organic. Now, that being said, anything can be bad for anyone or someone, but that doesn't mean that everyone else should stop using it or should avoid it. As with all things, but especially with something that is still basically a sugar, exercise moderation. It's as simple as that.
