Agave Nectar

The most balanced (if you can all it that) article about agave nectar from Food Renegade ultimately gives agave nectar the thumbs down -- and I have to agree on the basis of too much fructose since it's at least as high in fructose as HFCS. I'm leery of the Weston A. Price Foundation as an information source (and QuackWatch agrees), so I'm taking that portion of the otherwise-good Food Renegade research with a grain of salt. Farther along the spectrum towards alarm is Liquid Death by Calvin Sun, although it's not the most excoriating either. Oh well, another foodstuff down. Soy's not on the good list either, if it's not fermented, although that's not surprising to me after my youngest was allergic to it.
