Agave Nectar
Find it: Long touted as an "all natural" and healthy alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners, it turns out the agave nectar sold in stores, including "blue," "natural," and "organic" varieties, has more fructose than even high-fructose corn syrup and is far more processed than plain table sugar.

Fix it: Training your palate to crave less sweetness would be ideal, but in a world of frosted cupcakes and ketchup sometimes it makes more sense just to try to stick to the least processed sweeteners you can find such as raw, local honey, real maple syrup, dates, and even plain white sugar.
