Every time I read one of these well reasonsed and researched analysis of why one more thing that we like will kill us, I wonder. Um….what did the paleo guys and girls do when they weren’t hunting, gathering or opening chemisty labs or vineyard…and then I found this….http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/03/09/healthy.sex/index.html?hpt=C2 . So, think of this when you are eating something that taste like gym socks smell….and perhaps it will provide more incentive to eat healthy. Just a thought.

There has been a ton of information out there on Agave. This has almost been dubbed the miracle sweetner for all you paleo eaters. However, how much do we really understand about this food? It seems that Agave is not the miracle sweetner it has been billed to be. When someone discusses the glycemic index, this relates to how blood sugar is affected when ingesting food and ultimately how insulin reacts to blood sugar. There are more than a few ways to spike insulin, one of them is through taste. Insulin spikes in response to a taste of something sweet. While agave might be low on the gylcemic index it is still sweet and composed of Fructose that has been linked to many other problems.
“Agave…most especially, that it has a relatively low glycemic index. A large body of research shows that foods with low glycemic indexes, such as vegetables, beans and high-fiber foods in general, tend to be healthier for us than foods that quickly raise our blood sugar. But in the case of agave nectar, you have to ask, why does this sugar have a low-glycemic index? And the answer is that agave nectar is made largely of fructose, which, even though it has a low glycemic index, is being implicated in many long-term health problems. With the exception of pure liquid fructose, agave nectar has the highest fructose content of any commercial sweetener. It’s worth knowing that all sugars, from white table sugar to high-fructose corn syrup and even honey, include some mixture of fructose and glucose. For example, table sugar is 50% fructose/50% glucose and HFCS is 55/45. Agave nectar is a whopping 70% to 90% fructose…” Read more here…www.bottomlinesecrets.com/article.html

Kevin, Since DP and LP know this guy Louie, who apparently did his back twice….we should be able to get some phone numbers for the guy so you can get a timeline and some information about how he trained to get back to good health. The fact that he injured his back twice would yeild some good stories as well.
