Steve, have you ever tried to sweeten foods with agave?  I buy an organic 
agave at the health food store; it is grown in Mexico.  It comes in the same 
type of containers that honey comes in, and is very, very sweet.  It does 
not raise the glycemic load so, although I do not sweeten foods very often, 
if I do so it is usually with agave.

And, yes, it is the agave plant that is used to make tequila.   ;).
