A few weeks ago, I posted a blog on why Agave is not only "not" a health food, but may be one sweetener you definitely want to avoid. Agave is mostly fructose, which can comprise about 70-90% of the sugar in agave. Since fructose goes directly to the liver, it appears to not effect blood sugar as much. However, in the liver, it can increase triglycerides, LDL, VLDL, and insulin resistance. This is why it is important to never been misled by any marketing highlighting an isolated component of a food and/or food product. Agave may look good in relation to blood sugar, but it looks very bad when looked at in relation to heart disease and diabetes. Well, there are even more reasons why you should avoid Agave and that is AGE's. When fructose is heated in can create Advanced Glycogen End Products (AGEs), which may be harmful as they may play a role in development of atherosclerosis, diabetes, aging and chronic renal failure. One study compared the amount of AGE's formed between the subject following a traditional omnivorous diet and one following a more traditional vegetarian diet |

Nutrition Education: Finding The Best Path, Final Summary |

Having read the first 3 parts of my series on nutrition education, the question is, where do we begin and/or where do we go from here?
I see nutrition in 2 ways, the first is the nutrition about the foods we eat "before" we consume them, which would be the analysis of foods, nutrient sources, meal planning, recipes, etc. The second is the nutrition about foods "after" we eat them, which is the biochemistry and physiology part of it, which to me, is the core of what nutrition really is, how foods breaks, down, is metabolized, interacts and functions with in the human body.
Now, regardless of whether you choose to get a formal education or not, and regardless of whether you choose to go for the traditional or non-traditional degree, there is so much excellent information available, much of it free on the internet, that is available for everyone to educate themselves with.
Many of the classic textbooks used during formal traditional education are great resources for the background and basic information on biochemistry and physiology.
