Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I googled it for agave nectar but I can't find anything on it for yacon. Maybe it hasn't been measured yet. The most I could find is that it is " very low " but how low is that? Tommie http://www.rawburchard.blogspot.com rawfood , paddlerwoman wrote: > > What about yacon?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi Susan, Agave nectar has low glycemic index due to its higher proportion of fructose and lower levels of glucose. This fact should prove attractive to those with special diet considerations or who monitor glucose intake. Agave Nectar has a lower glycemic index than honey. Agave Nectar was found to have a glycemic index of 46. In contrast, honey has a reported glycemic index of 58, due to its higher ratio of glucose to fructose, as compared to the ratio of glucose to fructose in Agave Nectar. I regularly use agave nectar while juicing or even as a regular substitute, I recommend it over honey too.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Dr. Cousens allows it in Phase 1.5 of his program (1, 1.5, 2 phases). So it must not be too high. Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
