The CURE for WHAT AILS YOU?
TEQUILA
IS OFTEN USED as a
cure for the blues but it may just have some genuine health
benefits as well. According to researchers at the University
of Guadalajara, blue agave can pass through stomach acids
without being destroyed. The hope is that doctors will be
able to use agave as a means for delivering colon cancer
drugs more effectively. Human trials are in the works. Blue
agave nectar is also popping up as a gourmet substitute
sweetener for sugar. Four times sweeter than sugar it has
only 6O calories per tablespoon but is mainly fructose,
which has little impact on blood sugar. Perhaps it’s time to
start investing in some blue agave plants.
