Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I want to talk about why Agava Nectar is bad if it's low in the

glycemic index. Did you realize that Agava is only 19 on the glycemic index? I mean, sugar is like 70.

Agava is low. So it's sometimes considered as a keto-friendly sweetener, right? Well, here's the problem.

Agava is 70% fructose. And fructose is very different than glucose.

It's seven times more damaging than glucose to certain parts of the body

and it can create a hundred times the oxidative stress to glucose. So when you consume glucose, you don't... the more fructose

fructose fructose corn syrup is about 55 to 58%

fructose.

It also is a big problem because it too creates

insulin resistance in a fatty liver

because we're actually drinking this liquid sugar in

very large amounts.

Table sugar is 50% fructose and 50% glucose so it can also be a big problem and I also get people that will tell me when they

consume fruit it doesn't spike their blood sugars because of the fructose.

Well the thing about fruit is yes there is fructose but there's also fiber which buffers the

response and you also have nutrients that protect against the damage but there still

is fructose and fructose will stop your ability to stay in ketosis.

Anyway, I wanted to create this video just to explain why it's bad even though it's low in the glycemic index. And thanks for watching.
