Agave is NOT as Healthy as You Think

Agave is NOT as Healthy as You Think #shorts

Dr. Janine shares why agave is NOT as healthy as you think. Traditionally agave was unprocessed, even fermented to make tequila. She explains that the sap from agave is high in sugar but it also contains healthy fibers like fructans, which are linked to beneficial effects on your metabolism and insulin. However, conventional refining of agave sap destroys these positive benefits. The fructans are extracted and broken down into fructose, similar to how high fructose corn syrup is made. Dr. Janine explains that high fructose causes fatty liver, weight gain, and insulin resistance. Follow for more natural health tips.
