Kelly – I am still interested. Thank you! I enjoyed reading that article. It was good to read the different methods of extracting agave and it makes me want to find out which method is used for the agave I (used to) buy. I have a feeling it is the same method as the Madhava company. thanks!

Hi, Wardeh,

I don’t know if you’re still interested in reading anything about the agave controversy. If you are, here’s a letter from the president of the Madhava agave company.

I am so glad you posted on this. I was just thinking of researching this as an alternative for sugar in my diet, when WAH-LAH! there this post was in my Reader. Thanks for saving me some leg work!

[...] all the reading I’ve been doing lately about sugars — natural included — a nagging feeling settled over me that no matter what “natural” sugar I choose [...]

Thank you for the information about agave. I’ve been reading more and more literature about how refined it is and about the fructose it contains.

I’ve experimented with using fruits as the sweetener in my baked goods but that requires the proper amount and the overall taste that I want.

I’ll try to share some of my successful experiments.

I’m going to look for coconut sugar and try it in my recipes.

Read today’s post on kellythekitchencop.com, or the weston price foundation site, they seem to be the same thing. I wonder if the difference is the name brand.

@Rose -- thanks for sharing that article. It is a good run down. I ran across it the other day and from it, learned about Sucanat being dehydrated cane juice also. I'm still confused if Rapadura or Sucanat are the same things or different or if there are varying types of each... Anyone?

Jason — guess I’ll forgive you for eating that banana.

No, really, thanks for sharing how you limit the sweets by banning them and how you’re enjoying the flavors of the yummy food that’s taken its place. This is so true! Sometimes, a sweet will totally overwhelm me now because my tastes have changed (though I still battle a sweet tooth, in all honesty).

Sorry, gotta sweeten my tea. I don’t think I can ever stop THAT.
