Re: Re: ear ache (regarding Agave post)

[Guest guest]

I'm not personally against fructose, but I do think it's funny

that at about the same time people became against " high fructose

corn syrup " they suddenly adopted agave, which is very similar?

I don't deal with the issue much because I don't like sweet things

especially, but we do go through a lot of honey, which I use

for making dipping sauces etc. Honey acts differently in the

intestines, or so I'm told. I DO know that if you are trying to make

beer, honey takes forever to ferment, which means it doesn't feed

yeast very well.
