_____________________________
*Many people perceive agava to be a more healthful form of sweetener than other forms of sugar. Unfortunately, just the opposite is true. Table sugar (sucrose) is half glucose and half fructose. High fructose corn syrup is about 45% glucose and 55% fructose. Agave, by contrast, can be as high 90% fructose. Glucose is metabolized by every cell in the body. It is the fuel that powers the body. Fructose, on the other hand, is metabolized only by the liver. Even a seemingly moderate amount of fructose can overwhelm the liver’s ability to break it down. If this occurs, the liver can develop a condition called “non-alcoholic fatty liver disease” (NAFLD). NAFLD is very similar to cirrhosis of the liver, which is caused by excess consumption of alcohol. For more information on fructose refer to http://nofructoseadded.com/
