When you look at 4 pages of google searches and see phrases like "raw",
"organic", "Superfood", "food of the gods", and especially "Diabetics", you
can be sure this is a product ripe for abuse. Anti agave nectar websites
seemm to be pretty rare, but I found a couple, including wikipedia which
links to info on how the "nectar" (another come-on term) is hydrolized,
which kinda kills any truth in advertising about "raw".

Oh well, I'm not going to burst anyone's balloon. If you like agave nectar,
more power to you. OTOH, IMO, it's a perfect waste of good tequila
squeezin's.
