Agave Nectar??

Options
I just had to pass this on to everyone since I just learned about it this morning. I love agave nectar in my oatmeal BUT I had no clue that agave nectar is just as bad if not worse then high frustose corn syrup! Its not natural at all and actually has a lot of chemicals put into it. Google, is agave nectar bad for you and its amazing the articles on it. Just thought I'd share what i learned today incase anyone else was using agave nectar in recipes or their food thinking it was better for you! what a bummer!!!

    Yeah, I always thought this stuff was suppose to be better for you (I used it instead of sugar/honey/maple syrup) BUT NOW I KNOW! It almost broke my heart lol I've gone through so many bottles of this stuff, makes me sick thinking about it! I guess the sugars get turned straight to fat and that's why it has a lower glycemic effect. I ate some this morning on my french toast )=
