Agave is 80% fructose. Some health nuts complain about HFCS while telling people agave is healthy... That's why I don't trust what people say regarding health.
But who actually eats agave? Perhaps Navajo, but very few others.
And in its final form, agave has zero carbs and zero sugar.

Agave nectar contains 5 grams of carbs and 20 calories per tsp. That sweet syrup people use in mixed drinks is far more toxic for the liver than HFCS. A double whammy really as far as accumulation of liver fat because both alcohol and fructose only get processed by the liver. Throw in a pizza on top of it and it's no surprise 40% of Americans are prediabetic. Agave is a fructose syrup that's its final form as far as I know.
Good time to start preparing for next year's vegetable garden.
We made a 10x4x2 ft high raised bed that will hopefully be enough for two of us - next season. I'm reading a popular veggie garden book and hope to be more successful than when I have tried putting the bed right into the ground. I will try freezing some veggies and making simpler items to can/jar. It's filled with compost and will spend the winter doing whatever compost does
It cost a fair bit to build this because we didn't have lumber sitting around and ordered the compost, but going forward, hopefully will just need some compost here and there.
