Re: Di, and agave nectar

[Guest guest]

Agave nectar is produced by the agave cactus which is used to make

tequila. Some companies use chemicals to produce agave nectar instead

of water. Madhava has information on their web site describing the

process of extracting the agave nectar from the cactus. Domino now

makes an agave nectar but I am unsure of their process. My grocery

store now carries Madhava agave nectar. It can also be found at most

natural foods stores and on the Madhava web site. I have hypoglycemia

and agave nectar doesn't make my blood glucose levels rise sharply

causing a crash. It tastes very sweet to me.

Any questions ask, I'm not shy. Take care of you, you're important to me.

Be the person your pets think you are.

Di, I read your info on agave nectar. I know you were talking to

Byron, but I appreciate knowing more about agave nectar. :-)

I'd heard of it, though if I've used it, I don't remember it.

But I do remember hearing mixed reports re: safety. What exactly

is the deal with agave and how it's produced by some other

companies? (because I'm not sure what you're referring to.)

Nonetheless I'll surely take your advice and look for the Madhava

brand. :-) Is this available in health food stores or somewhere

else?
