I am always looking for alternative sweeteners & when I found out about agave a couple years back I thought I had hit the jackpot. However, recently agave has been attacked for being no better than high fructose corn syrup (evil!!), also it is apparently highly processed. Well, what a shame.
Here are some interesting things you might turn to instead:
yacon syrup
coconut sugar
maple syrup
lucuma powder
stevia
Here is an article on agave by Dr. Mercola.

yeah, that one definitely bummed me out when i heard it! can't believe it took so long for someone to say it's not that great. i guess we're always better sticking with the naturals in their pure/raw form!
