I just like many consumers have been duped once again. Agave is not any better than high fructose corn syrup or any more natural. (See link below for more agave information).
This is more proof that you really need to practice farm to table methods, cut out the boxes (even it it has healthy claims), refineries, and big box corporations when purchasing and consuming food. These companies are not interested in your health just the almighty dollar! I have removed my oh so yummy macaroon recipe and will be re-posting it without agave. Unfortunately, there is not any way around sugar being healthy, as my father always said "eat in moderation" and remember practice farm to table eating like the old days.
