    Is agave nectar healthy?

    So sorry if this is the wrong form but I'd like to know if agave nectar is healthy? I can't eat maple syrup because I have a fructose intolerance and it makes me sick if I have maple syrup. BUT I've heard that agave nectar is terrible for one's health so I'm not sure what to do.

    This summer heat is killing me! It got to the point where every time when I enter a place with air-con on, I instantly get a bad sore throat. I thought of some cough syrups but I couldn't find any vegan alternative. Would you guys recommend something effective and vegan-friendly?
