Agave Nectar

Agave nectar is very popular due to its sweet taste and low glycemic index. However, it’s packed with fructose—more than high fructose corn syrup, which already isn’t metabolized well. Fructose is considered the main suspect in rising levels of type 2 diabetes and liver disease in the modern world.

Although it’s a “natural” sweetener, it’s not “healthy.” Instead, try maple syrup because of its low fructose content.
