Is agave nectar healthier than other sweeteners?

Agave nectar is a sweetener made from the agave plant, a common succulent found in Mexico. It’s a bit like honey, but thinner. It’s been labeled a healthy sweetener and said to be good for diabetics and “100% natural.”

However, agave nectar is actually highly processed and has even more fructose in it than high-fructose corn syrup; agave nectar can be up to 90% fructose. According to Dr. Ingrid Kohlstadt, a fellow of the American College of Nutrition, “It’s almost all fructose, highly processed sugar with great marketing.” And Dr. Joseph Mercola, author of Sweet Deception: Why Splenda, NutraSweet and the FDA May Be Hazardous to Your Health, says that “agave nectar is neither a natural food nor organic.”Don’t believe the hype and the labels that claim this to be a healthy alternative to sugar.

It will actually trigger the same responses as white sugar and high-fructose corn syrup.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
