Agreed, not a substitute for honey, but as a substitute for simple syrup? Absolutely.

However, not all agave syrup/nectar is the same. Some is extremely high in fructose (bad). Some have a much lower glycemic index than others (good).

I've used Volcanic Blue Agave Nectar from Global Goods for years now and I highly recommend it.
