Agave Nectar...

I've been a fan of agave nectar for a couple of years, thinking it was a more natural sweetener. Masterful marketing has led us to think that agave is the best thing since sliced bread, Well guess what, this is a quote by Dr Mercola, "Agave "Nectar" or syrup is nothing more than a laboratory-generated super-condensed fructose syrup, devoid of virtually all nutrient value". Sounds like the best natural sweetener is Stevia powder, It's made from Stevia herb leaves and erythritol, a crystal granulated naturally produced filler found in fruits, vegetables and grains. A pinch of stevia powder is the equivalent of about a teaspoon of sugar. These marketing crooks, should be eating jail food... Another choice is Rapadura, a natural cane sugar that has not been refined, so It's packed with trace minerals and nutrients...
