Myth #1: Agave nectar is a healthy sweetener

First of all, agave nectar is far from being healthy. Secondly, it’s not 100% natural. Still, most people use it as a substitute for sugar, thinking they are going with a healthy and natural sweetener. Well, it turns out that agave nectar is not as healthy as some would think.

In fact, agave nectar is a processed syrup that’s even sweeter and calorically dense than normal sugar. Nutritionists say that agave nectar is actually made up of fructose, which is kind of the same thing as high fructose corn syrup.

Consuming agave nectar regularly can lead to fatty liver, as well as insulin resistance. Both of them could easily increase your risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. So, agave nectar is no better than regular sugar. If you really want to enhance certain meals, try raw honey.
