    I think that Agave is hype, it gives people a sense of being "organic" and healthy - when actually it's not that healthy, as explained above by Ms. Furtado. Unfortunately at first I also thought Agave was healthier, but considering the fructose in take, it really isn't. No more Agave for me. Thanks for the info!
