Re: Di, and agave nectar

[Guest guest]

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?

(I'm still racking my brain trying to remember everything I might know about

it.)

Thanks again.

Re: Stevia

I prefer Madhava Agave Nectar over Stevia, it doesn't have an after

taste or alter the flavor of things. Agave nectar is a 19 on the

glycemic index compared to white cane sugar which is a 60. Not all

agave nectar is produced safely. I have researched Madhava and know

they only use water to produce their agave nectar. If you are going to

buy agave nectar please research the brands available.

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

Be the person your pets think you are.

I have grown Stevia and it was fun to give a leaf to someone and

see the surprise on their face at the sweetness. I believe it's in

the mint family.

I've not taken to most forms of Stevia that I've tried, there seems

to be a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Perhaps that passes

with time and perhaps I tried using too much, I know quite a few

people who use it all the time.
