Barbara, I beg to differ. Agave nectar has a low glycemic index and is healthier in that regard than most natural and processed sugars, certainly more than refined white sugar from which simple syrup is normally made. White sugar scores 60 or higher on the glycemic index; agave nectar (which is not milky white but pale amber) scores in the low 30s. The nice thing about using agave in some cocktails, especially ones with good acidity lime lime juice is that it adds a bit of texture and mouth feel.

Raw agave is milky white. Agave is comparable to high fructose corn syrup-goes straight to your liver. Sugar syrup is a healthier choice.
