Reply To: Agave

[Ryann Kipping]

There’s limited research on agave during pregnancy, but most people use such a small amount it would be okay. The concern with agave is the fructose which there is a lot of research on. Honey or maple syrup are better choices as it related to syrup type sugars. I talk more on fructose under the “carbs” note and if you scroll to the bottom you can see some of the research regarding fructose intake during pregnancy!
