The Lowdown on Unrefined Sweeteners: Are They Healthier Or Just As Bad As Any Sugar?


I used to think agave nectar was the perfect sweetener because some raw foodists I trusted introduced me to it. Finally, it seemed like a great unrefined alternative to sugar and honey! But a year or so ago I did some research and discovered that it's not all it's cracked up to be - how disappointing! And over time, I learned that all unrefined sugars have some drawbacks - I outline the details in this article on Organic Authority.

I'd love it if you would cite your sources from your research.

An example citing sources from sugar here: http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/the-healthiest-sweetener/

Great article. I switched to Agave recently as an alternative to refined sugar. I haven't broken the sugar addiction yet but I'm getting closer every day.
