AGAVE CONCENTRATE versus SUGARE CANE
Low Glycemic Index: Agave concentrate boasts a significantly lower glycemic index compared to sucrose*
Higher Sweetness : Primarily composed of fructose, Agave concentrate is approximately twice as sweet as cane syrup**. This higher sweetness allows for reduced usage, potentially making it a calorie-reduced sweetener.
Diabetic Considerations : Due to its low glycemic index, Agave concentrate may offer a more suitable option for diabetics compared to table sugar. This is because it induces a smaller blood sugar spike ***.
Potential Health Benefits : Diets rich in sugar are linked to weight gain, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance****. Agave concentrate may serve as a viable sucrose substitute, potentially contributing to improved risk factors for obesity and chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
