Sandi Star  founder of  http://www.karmic-health.com shares some insight which everyone should read:

Agave has been in the “media” recently published by Mercola (check out story) stating that agave is extremely dangerous and is worse than high fructose corn syrup. Although I have the highest respect for Dr. Mercola I can only speculate he does not have enough research to back this up and has not taken the time to get each manufacturers side of the story. As you know….. http://www.karmic-health.com/pb/wp_0f68724a/wp_0f68724a.html Be sure and read this all the way to the bottom and 5 articles offered at the bottom, with evidence and data for everyone to have.
