Just picked up this article from nutritionist Jonny Bowden's site .... I've read before that Agave nectar-sweetener-syrup is NOT as healthy as its marketing has portrayed, but after reading Bowden's article I threw away my bottle of Agave sweetener!
Basically, stick with real food! All fruits have fructose in it but it comes with a complete compliment of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber blended perfectly for human digestion. As it turns out, Agave sweeteners are 90% fructose! About twice the amount of fructose in HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) which we all know is really bad for us.
Here's a link to Bowden's web site and article:
