Here’s our general take. If you’re going to eat or add sugar to your food or drink, add whatever the heck you want – but understand that it’s not making you healthier, regardless of where it comes from. Don’t be fooled by marketing campaigns that suggest that agave, coconut crystals or date sugar are “healthier” options. While there are chemical and metabolic differences between each form of sugar, from a psychological perspective, it’s all the same. (Your brain doesn’t differentiate – all it knows is you ate something sweet.)

So if you want a treat, and prefer your treat be sweetened with agave – go for it! But don’t try to fool yourself into thinking your agave is any healthier than most other forms of sugar.
