Mexican sugar substitute makes it to UK shelves - Agave syrup

I never saw an article about this in the US but I use Agave syrup and love it. I can only find it at my local health food store, though.

“Diabetics and weight watchers are set to benefit from the release of a new natural alternative to sugar going on sale in leading UK retailer Tesco this week.

Agave syrup, which derives from the same Mexican plant as tequila, is 25 per cent sweeter than normal table sugar and releases energy more gradually – causing less disruption to blood sugar levels.”
