If agave syrup is just a sweeter version of high fructose corn syrup, why have so many health conscious shoppers become enamored with it?  Clearly this isn’t evidence based.  Searching PubMed for scientific journal articles describing agave syrup’s effect on health yields only 3 citations.        A similar search on honey yields, 5,470 articles.  There’s no comparison.  Scientists are not singing praises for agave.

The most recent article on agave is revealing.        Published in Physiology and Behaviour back in 2009, Figlewicz et al fed rats moderate amounts of different sweeteners including high fructose corn syrup or agave.  Agave’s effect on the rats was similar to that of high fructose corn syrup except that “serum triglycerides were higher in the Agave” group. Looking at the overall effects of even moderate consumption the researchers wrote: “We conclude that even moderate consumption of fructose-containing liquids may lead to the onset of unfavorable changes in the plasma lipid profile and one marker of liver health, independent of significant effects of sweetener consumption on body weight.” [1]

High fructose syrup isn’t particularly healthy.  We’ve known since the 1970s that high fructose aversely impacts cardiovascular risk factors.  If anything agave, because of its higher fructose content, may be worse.

The only good thing about agave syrup is cost.        Perhaps its expense may limit use.  Let’s not let them fool us though.  Agave syrup is not natural and not particularly good for us.        Better stick to honey.
