I just knew there wasn't something right with it, but didn't know. I like to consume things closest to their natural state as possible.Agave nectar is so yummie. I have been using the one from Trader Joe's. All my shopping except for deli meat is done at Trader Joe's. That's the closest store for me that carries the more 'healthier' alternatives. I buy about 80% organic so far. I love your site! I am learning so much. Thx for this post about Splenda. I just knew there wasn’t something right with it, but didn’t know.

Xylitol seems to be OK but has some side effects: <blockquote>Some people who use xylitol in large quantities (usually more than 40 grams/day) may initially experience diarrhea. Many of these people report that the diarrhea subsides even with continued excessive use as their digestive systems adjusts to the xylitol.</blockquote> http://www.epicdental.com/t-xylitol-faqs.aspx#2B Consult your doctor, but Agave has a low glycemic index, but it can be tough on the liver so you don’t want to use too much and choose raw and organic so it’s gone through as little processing as possible.
