Are you one of the millions of people who have started consuming agave nectar in recent years? It is known as a “natural” sweetener throughout the world. However, it is not even close to being natural. If you have acne, you should avoid agave nectar starting today. Of course, this is only if you want glowing skin and great overall health.

Have you ever heard of high fructose corn syrup?

If you have.

If not, where have you been? We all know how bad high fructose corn syrup is. It has zero nutrition. It is sugar that causes rapid fluctuations in a person’s blood sugar levels. This leads to acne among many other health problems. But it is present in almost all processed foods. So unless you eat whole foods, this deadly food additive is hard to avoid.

Agave nectar causes more damage than HFCS

You have read correctly. I used to enjoy this destructive sweetener just a few months ago. I thought it was helping my body. Boy, was I wrong. Agave nectar contains a higher dose of fructose, a sugar that can do a lot of damage to the liver. Your liver is an important elimination organ that helps remove toxins. The toxic buildup leads to acne breakouts.

If you want healthy skin, then you should avoid this sweetener at all costs. Real agave is healthy, but it’s very expensive and the agave nectar you buy at the store doesn’t even come close to real agave. Do yourself a huge favor and avoid this sweetener at all costs. If you have never consumed it, do not start!
