In this podcast,  we're going to talk about why agave nectar is bad, even if it's low on the glycemic index.  Agave nectar is only 19 on the glycemic index, so it's considered by some people to be keto-friendly. The problem with agave is that it is 70% fructose. So, is agave keto-friendly? No.  • Fructose is 7x more damaging to certain parts of the body than glucose  • Fructose can create 100x the oxidative stress to glucose • The cells of the body don't absorb fructose, only the liver • High fructose corn syrup is about 55 to 58% fructose • High fructose corn syrup can also cause insulin resistance and fatty liver  Fruit has fructose, but it also has fiber, which buffers the response. Fruit also has nutrients, which protect against the damage. However, the fructose will still stop you from staying in ketosis.  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
