Not as sweet as sucrose but definately the best substitute I've found! And it has health benefits (from increasing bone density to helping sort out yeast infections!) Do a bit of a google search on them. I still manage to eat a few slabs of chocolate a day though... We don’t get Agave syrup here in South Africa but we do have a few brands of Xylitol.

The other day, someone at work asked me if I 'liked pastries', since I don't eat meat lol. On the bright side, someone else said I'd inspired them to go vegetarian! I'm afraid to try the Xylitol after hearing about the side effects...but I'm sure I'll try it soon enough. As for the agave syrup, I don't think I've tried it yet other than in some tea. I liked it! Anything that reduces the amount of corn in my diet is a good thing! I know what you mean about feeling judged with the ’sweet tooth’ comment.
