Today’s discovery: how agave nectar differs from honey. Aside from a slight difference in taste and viscosity, Agave nectar doesn’t have the same effect on blood sugar that honey and traditional white sugar do. That means it doesn’t cause a huge insulin spike after you ingest it. This is good for two reasons: a) you don’t suffer “rebound” hunger and b) to constantly have your insulin level spike real high and then dive real low through out the day is unhealthy for metabolism and often results in this “Metabolic Syndrome” that we’ve heard so much about lately.
