As it turns out, agave has a higher fructose content than any other common sweetener, more even than high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Because of its reputation as a "natural" sweetener, it is now widely used in products claiming to be good for health – from teas to nutrition bars and energy drinks.
Agave also has a sweet taste which triggers a “cephalic response”, producing excess insulin, which can eventually lead to Insulin Resistance, a plight that at least 50% of our public has in one form or another!

That is a major problem with artificial sweeteners and agave. Because of the sweet taste, the body prepares itself to handle the carbs coming down the gut, and produces Insulin, but then, surprise, surprise, NO CARBS to convert to cell energy. All that excess insulin is stuck in the blood stream.
