cane juice naturally squeezed from the cane yourself is good too. Not an agave nectar fan at all though the effects are similar to that of high fructose corn syrup.

There are different types of agave nectar. There is a raw version and a processed version. Which type are finding causes a rise in blood sugar levels?

Unfortunately I am finding agave to be pretty bad for blood sugar, etc. David Wolfe recommends raw honey as the best sweetner, and others say lucama (sp?) powder, which I have not yet tried, but am getting to really like raw honey, although I haven't used it in any raw dessert recipe's yet.

It has various benefits to the body such as it's antibacterial and healing properties. All forms of sweeteners will cause a rise in bl sugar levels, but the ending effects are different.

if you do some digging you will find more info on it, but everything I have read is that it reacts similar to fructose syrup, not good at all :( I still use it extremely sparingly, but i think most long term raw foodists avoid it
