Non so che dirti, comunque la trovi, come "cruda" in tantissimi siti internet, magari quelli della Kleiming ci credono...
comunque leggi qui (ehm, lo sai l'inglese? altrimenti te lo traduco io, o qualcun altro):
http://www.purelyraw.com/deadfoodlist.htme poi questo, trovato nel libro "The Lazy Raw Foodist's Guide":
"Agave has replaced honey for vegans, but now we learn that neither meets truly low-glycemic goals."
"Agave Nectar: Has to be heated and altered from its natural state to taste sweet. Even when labeled or advertised as raw, if it's sweet, it has been heated. Some manufactures claim that lower air pressures can be used to keep the heat below 45c/115f and thus producing sweet "Raw"? nectar.
(Lazy Raw Foodist’s note: Vegans can substitute soaked dates for Agave Nectar. “Beegans”—people who avoid animal products except those made by bees—can use unheated honey instead of agave nectar. Contrary to marketing and popular belief, agave does not appear to be low-glycemic either. Gabriel Cousens performs many blood tests on diabetics and consistently finds a rise in blood sugar after agave consumption. For details, please see his book, There Is a Cure for Diabetes. I have heard Dr. Cousens speak, and he recommended both Stevia and the chemical-sounding but naturally-derived xylitol. In testing he found them to be both raw and low-glycemic sweeteners. Again, for details on raw sweeteners and glycemic load, please see Dr. Cousens’ book and movie about curing Type II diabetes through a raw food diet.)"Qui poi per esempio si parla bene dello xilitolo, che però non è assolutamente crudo. Certamente, come al solito, tutto va a pareri. se si vuole una dieta assolutamente al 100% cruda o anche solo un pochino meno. il fatto è che sembra appunto che l'agave non sia neanche molto "low glycemic".
Ti riporto anche la domanda che una persona ha fatto in un forum, che ho trovato, ma non sono riuscita a trovare l'eventuale risposta che le hanno dato:
"Can anyone post a list of "truly raw" sweeteners? I know for one that
the golden colour agave is probably cooked and has corn syrup added,
xylitol is not raw, yacon syrup, the same as agave..so is it just dates
stevia & lacuma?? Truly raw sweetners such as truly raw agave and
yacon seem only to be available in the US. So a list of truly raw
sweeteners would be cool (other than dates)."
