A few weeks ago I popped into my area Entire Foods Marketplace mainly because I wished to buy pure barbecue sauce. As I was on the lookout at the diverse manufacturers, it was exciting to see that agave nectar was in a number of of them. I was chatting with 1 of the ladies who worked there and she commented, "Perfectly, agave is improved than sugar."

By some means agave nectar has turn out to be the darling and wholesome option for sugar lovers everywhere. It is in every little thing from breakfast cereals to soy ice cream. But it turns out that agave nectar may perhaps not be wholesome after all since it can be actually higher in fructose. Sugar is fifty % fructose and 50 p.c glucose. Higher fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is about 55 percent fructose and forty five % glucose (while the amount of fructose in sugary beverages can be as high as 65 %). Yet agave nectar can comprise as much as ninety two percent fructose!

So what's wrong with fructose? Considering the fact that fructose is metabolized in the liver, consuming way too substantially can bring about fatty liver and high triglycerides. Fatty liver can negatively have an affect on liver operate. Substantial triglycerides can enhance your chance of heart and soul condition. Fructose can also make insulin, the hormone that lowers blood sugar, considerably less effective. Hence, if you are choosing agave instead of other sweeteners for well being causes, you are missing the boat.

There are a several very good points about agave salmiana. 1 is that it can be sweeter than sugar. So you could use much less and take in fewer energy with the very same amount of sweetness as sugar. Strangely enough, I have seen lots of businesses change to agave, but I really don't see fewer grams of sugar on the brand. Also, mainly because it is substantial in fructose agave has a very low glycemic index, which suggests it does not result in a big spike in your blood sugar. A further good position about agave is that it is not genetically modified, at minimum not nevertheless. Higher fructose corn syrup, because it comes from corn, is genetically modified. Sugar beets are now also genetically modified so most of the sugar you are taking in is genetically modified as properly.

The bottom line is agave nectar is not better for you than any other sweetener. And just like sugar, it will include calories, enhance your need for sweet meals, and support you develop bodyweight. It does not signify you ought to by no means take in it, but never child by yourself that it is somehow superior than other sweeteners. All types of sugar, together with agave nectar, really should be eaten in moderation. Most likely the ideal solution is to have fruit for dessert or to add fruit to other foods for sweetness. For case in point, in place of incorporating agave nectar to your oatmeal, try out adding blueberries or strawberries alternatively. When your palate adapts to the much less sweet flavor of foods minus all the sugar, fruit will flavor a whole lot sweeter.
