Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Raw Blue Agave, 23.5-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)

I am a type 2 diabetic who was looking to cut out all the unhealthy fake sweeteners from my diet. (i.e. Splenda, Equal, etc.) I did settle upon Stevia for a while, but I did not have desirable results when baking with it. My requirement was to find an all-natural sweetner safe enough for diabetics that would also hold up well in my favorite backed goods. I saw a bottle of this stuff at the health food store, and thought I would try it whith the condition that I would obsessively check my blood sugars on my monitor to make sure it was indeed low gycemic as the label indicates. I am happy to report that used in *moderation* I have not noticed any effects on my blood sugar levels. (Do not go overboard with this stuff because it can and does affect blood suagr levels. Your blood sugar just won't "spike" like with white table sugar. )I use small to moderate amounts in coffee, on pancakes, in baked goods, etc, and it does seem to be safe for my blood sugar levels. I bought a bottle each for my diabetic insulin-dependent mother and aunt, and they both have also reported when used in moderation, they do not notice a rise in blood sugar levels, either.

All in all, if you are diabetic, hypoglycemic, or are sensitive to white sugar, you should give this stuff a try to see if it will be as successful for you as it has been for me. I highly recommend this stuff to any diabetic out there wanting an all-natural alternative to fake, chemical sweeteners.

Hint: I do use Stevia in my coffee and tea in conjunction with agave. The agave and stevia seem to bring out the best in each other and complement each other well in my favorite hot beverages. Using the stevia in conjunction with this helps me use less agave then I normally would, which has an even lesser effect on my blood sugars. And, the slightly bitter taste from Stevia seems to be neutralized when used with the agave.

I tried agave nectar after it was recommended to me as an alternative to sugar. I typically do not like sugar alternatives, especially the all natural good for you ones. However, this stuff is awesome.

This is really a great sweetener in tea. It's also good over ice cream or to lightly sweeten fruit. I discovered blue agave syrup when I needed to lose weight and control my blood sugar. It has been the "go to" favorite for the last year and a half.

Recently ordered and received the 6 pack from Amazon. Quick ship and well packed. Half the price of the local health food store.

This product is so great! I can't praise it more. I don't think there is an aftertast, althugh some other people in my family have mentioned that it does. I love that it's so convenient. I pour it in my coffee and use it for baking. I love it so much I have a subscription.
