Agave Nectar - Good or Bad?

UPDATE: I was totally wrong about this brand. Go Here. Thanks.


Is Agave Nectar good for you - not affecting insulin? Or just like High Fructose Corn Syrup? There was an article that circulated on the web last November that really condemned it. But then I came across this link on Deb Schiff's Altered Plates blog where Madhava's Craig Gerbore talks about their brand of agave nectar. As a result, I am only using the Madhava brand and I am completely assured it will not raise my insulin. I have linked to it in the past but thought everyone should read it.
It's from another blog, and I found it through Elana's Pantry Blog - which totally rocks, you must check it out!! She just released a FABULOUS Almond Flour Gluten Free Low G.I. cookbook that is gorgeous and amazing!!!

  1. Thanks for the mention. Just for clarification, the original response from Craig came from my Altered Plates blog.

  2. Oh great, thanks. I'm so glad you posted it! Some things are just so sad without agave, like cupcake icing!

I love to hear from you! Please let me know how you changed a recipe, and how it came out. I don't do nutritional information anymore, sorry! I just provide the *free* recipes. I try to reply to comments but don't have much time these days. I hope to revamp this site eventually.... but for now I am still a working Mom and this is my hobby.
*If you would like to post the carb counts by using an online carb calculator, please go ahead* I don't provide them anymore, it's a miracle if I even get a post up these days! Thanks!
