What's the difference between regular corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup?
Is corn syrup any better for you? I'm attempting to go on a diet that cuts out most "Old World" foods and only uses ingredients native to the Americas. Part of it involves cutting back on sweeteners, and where needed, replacing sugar with Native American ingredients like maple syrup, agave syrup, honey, and corn syrup. I'm also going to give up high fructose corn syrup, as it processed and unnatural.
What's the difference between regular corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup?
HFCS is a super concentrated form of corn syrup. It will spike your insulin levels. Repeated spiking of you insulin CAN lead to Type II diabetes. I avoid all packages that contain either. If you had to rate one better than the other I would say regular corn syrup is less damaging than HFCS. I prefer natural sugars to added ones. Stick with oatmeal or natural granolas instead of a boxed cereals.

How can I make a healthy homemade ice cream creamier?
maybe soy milk.But the light will not give you the creaminess.
Reply:a little more milk or cream, maybe even whipping cream
Reply:you could try adding some mashed banana or some honey.
Reply:How about yougart. Also soy milk might be creamier than rice milk. Good luck.
Reply:I don't know, but that sounds nice. =(

Reply:what about yoghurt
Reply:Creme Friase (spelt wrong but you know what I mean) it is a really good substitute for cream.. and cheaper in calories. also yogurt.

Will jose cuervo tradicional 100% agave give youa headache? (assuming you only drink like 2 shots of it )?
No it shouldn't.
What most people react to (especially the ones who claim they hate tequila) are the junk put into non-100% agave tequilas. Non-100% agave ones are only 51% agave with the rest being grain alcohols, corn syrup and other junk. THAT'S what gives people headaches and hangovers.
Yours is 100% and is a decent one, so it really shouldn't cause any negative reactions, especially with only 2 shots.

You get BLUE AGAVE all over the year?
...and?
You get BLUE AGAVE all over the year?
these are harvested frequently, since the climate is warm all year.
Reply:Yes.
Agave doesen't ripen seasonally like fruit. The plants are harvested whole when they reach a certain age/maturity, usually from 7-10 years old.
In thier place, new baby agave shoots are planted and the wait begins again.

Anyone tried Agave Nectar instead of sugar?
No, I'm a diabetic and I use Splenda, no after tastes like with some fruit based products
Reply:Yes. I have tried Madhava Agave Nectar and I think it tastes really nice and it's quite healthy too. It is a bit like honey.
Reply:I like it because it adds sweetness but doesn't add flavor like honey.
Reply:I LOVE agave and use for everything. Its great as a pancake or waffle syrup, super as a sugar replacement in baking-cookies, muffins, etc. I make raw food bars with it, adding it to nuts, seeds, dates, and pulp left from juicing. Its really great stuff.
Reply:oh we use it, it taste just like honey. it's very good
Reply:I haven't used it "instead of sugar," but I use it as a liquid sweetener, just like maple syrup and brown rice syrup.
Reply:Yep, give me the sugar.
Reply:Yes, it's awesome!!! And u just double it up for recipes (cuz it's liquid). Goes good in tea, and doesn't affect your blood sugar like honey or sugar. :D
Reply:agave nectar is actually not an artificial sweetner. i no longer use sugar and only agave..u can use it in baking, cooking, drinks, and to sweeten up foods. I recommend to use the light instead of the dark personally because the dark nectar seems to be a little strong. but the light nectar is great.i highly recommend it.
