Potential Health Risks of Agave Syrup[ edit]Commercial agave syrups have received criticism from medical experts for their high fructose content. The fructose content of commercial agave syrups has been measured at between 59 and 90 percent, which is even more than high fructose corn syrup in its fructose content by weight (HFCS, by comparison averages 55% fructose content). [24]

Due to its high fructose levels, agave syrup has the potential to lead to insulin resistance and significantly increased triglyceride levels (a risk factor for heart disease). [3]

Also due to its high fructose levels, agave syrup has the potential to drive up uric acid levels. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, "the connection between fructose, uric acid, hypertension, insulin resistance/diabetes and kidney disease is so clear that your uric acid level can be used as a marker for toxicity from fructose." [24]
