Why are you using agave nectar and making claims for not using sugar? Agave nectar is WORSE than sugar

Agave is worse than sugar? Where on earth did you research your nutrition information?The only sugar it's worse than is alternative ones, like coconut sugar, which are so much healthier compared to refined sugar. The fact that people (and companies) still use refined (white) sugar when so many healthier alternatives are widely available is pretty abhorrent. I for one am thankful this uses agave over regular cane sugar like so many (organic) products do.

Algave Nectar is a natural sugar which your body can assimilate; white sugars are processed, as well as anything 'white' (flour, rice, noodles etc) which your body can not assimilate and are bad you. Processed foods also account for many diseases, incl. diabetes. The best sugar is Stevia; it's a plant based sugar, which can not do any harm. Stevia is made from the Stevia plant. One can eat as much as one can, also people with diabetes benefit from this product.RoseHealth represenative

I agree. Have since found other products that have no added sugars. No longer use agave products due to higher fructose levels.

1 Tablespoon equals 15grams. This product has one ingredient: organic coconut sap nectar and it is low glycemic. Only nectar I would use. Agave nectar is the same as consuming corn syrup!

Agave is lower glycemic, but it's still a form of sugar, and if you're diabetic or sensitive to sugar this isn't a good choice. the label "sugar free" isn't accurate. some products will say "refined sugar free", which is more accurate.

I'm not sure yet; I'm still doing some research on beet juice sugar. I know it has the same amount of calories as cane sugar, but know for a fact that beet juice sugar is easier on your digestive system.

I use the Zero Erythritol packets in my coffee almost daily. It tastes more like sugar than Stevia. Sometimes I combine and other times I alternate between the Zero and stevia. I like both.

It's not sugar, it's an overly sweet substitute that in my opinion is worse than sugar, for taste. I couldn't water it down enough to make it drinkable.

I also tasted an artificial sweet flavor. I was concerned because artificial sweetners give me headaches, so I called the number on the label and the woman that answered promised that there were no artificial sweetners or stevia in it. She claimed it was sweetened with apple pectin and pineapple. But there is no sugar content listed and I still wonder about that sweet flavor because I am diabetic. I did not get headaches from it though. I have since started using the Amazing grass green superfood, but it sure does not taste as good!

You really should use the appropriate food for cactus. The ratio of the ingredients is different in he cactus formula.

I think it is likely the agave, which much like honey crystallizes after a while. The bars are likely just fine, but not as fresh as they should be.

This IS NOT "fructose-fee/sugarless." My purchase in January 2014 lists:Other IngredientsOrganic AGAVE SYRUP [emphasis added ], mannitol, sorbitol, natural flavors (coconut and milk), cocoa bean powder, silicon dioxide, rice starch, organic gum acacia, and maltodextrin."Agave syrup is, in fact, a high-fructose (sugar) syrup. See my 1-star review for details.Ed

I guess you would say they're cactus; although, I believe agave are actually in the succulant family. :-)

I don't know what coconut nectar is, but I hope it's not this! this looked like disorganized brown sugar. didn't taste very good either -- not like coconut, not like brown sugar. not good! we gave it away... sorry not tobe able to be more specific; it was awhile ago.

Andriyev has a point. Protein amount, sugar amount, and calories are listed in the only image of the product. One is unable to view the remaining ingredients, as is the case with some products on various websites when the product image is clicked on. I would appreciate this as well as some of the ingredients listed on the actual package are not very desirable. Stevia would most certainly be a better sweetener choice than sugar and sugar alcohol.

Xylito could be left out for a healthier product. I personally don't care if it does not taste sweet. I take it for health. And Xylito should be used more tham50g a day. You have to add any other products you use that might have it

It uses xylitol and Stevia as sweeteners. It doesn't list sucralose in the ingredients. It is not even remotely palatable.

No. It is like regular cane sugar and can be used in a 1:1 ratio in recipes. It just is slightly less sweet.

I do not buy any product sugar free, I believe it's worse for you than sugar, sorry.
