I just recently heard of Agave Nectar and so I've been reading up on it and thought this was an interesting article and thought I would share. :flowerforyou:

    I have tried this on my porridge etc but not sure...

    I always say that natural is best but...

    REMEMBER
    sugar is the only food our bodies dont need, we make our own! (unless you have medical reasons of course!)

    I love Agave Nector - I use it in my tea and even on my kashi waffles with a little bit a cinnamon - you only need very little of it to make an impact.

    Th less sugar the better, but when you really NEED something sweet, it's a great alternative.

    Normally I really like Sparks articles but this one left me baffled and confused. Am I crazy or did the article sound like high fructose corn syrup would be better! YIkes!!! HFCS should be on the band toxic list!!!

    I normally only use a very little stevia or occaionally pure maple syrup. I am not an agave user but this article seemed a bit extreme to me.
