Agave syrup


A natural syrup extracted from the Agave plant. Agave syrup has become a thriving industry for Mexico. The liquid has a lower glycemic index than sugar or other syrups so it is preferred for carbohydrate reduced eating plans. The syrup also referred to as nectar can be used for making beverages (see recipes) or in any way you'd use maple syrup.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
