Agave nectar, honey, xylitol, stevia - best sweetener option?

Hey-

So I recently had agave nectar as a sweetener in my tea and I had zero reaction to it. By that I mean I didn't feel a head rush as the spirochetes entered a feeding frenzy, which I have experienced with honey and pure maple syrup. Is agave a lower GI sweetener? Is there a reason it doesn't seem to cause problems and is it safe to use (in moderation of course)?

I agree with CD in that we must find what our bodies tolerate best, and go with that. Although I do have some agave in my cabinet, I stick with stevia for the most part, and honey occasionally. Some have said that although agave doesn’t contain a lot of glucose, it contains more fructose than any other common sweetener - and I react to fructose in an unpleasant way, so I avoid fructose mostly.
