I recently made a batch of Paleo brownies (recipe to be posted once I fine-tune it a bit). The recipe did not have any flour in it and it called for agave nectar instead of sugar. I've been pondering the difference between sugar, honey, and agave nectar for awhile now but hadn't found any information that nicely summarized the differences for me. This article from the Globe and Mail does a reasonably good job of comparing agave syrup and Stevia to sugar. As I suspected, they really aren't all that different from one another. I'll keep researching but this info is certainly something to keep in mind when considering whether sugar is a 'less healthy' option than the other alternatives.
