Neither honey or agave nectar is safe for me. I remember reading up about agave nectar when I was initially dxed and I didn't want to believe that it was also on my taboo list so I tried it anyway and spiked like there was no tomorrow. I just found the original article I had read and can't believe I didn't heed the advice at the time. I guess, we all, at some point, want to find something....anything to replace the sugar in our lives that artificial sweeteners never seem to fully compensate for. At least that was the case for me until I got over the cravings....
here's that article:

On a side note.... the Sociology dept at the university had a conference today and they had served coffee, tea and, of course, chocolate cake to the participants. This was earlier in the day and when i was leaving at 7pm, the organisers had left the remaining chocolate cake for anyone still roaming the university corridor. Like me....
There was a full tray (about forty pieces) of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and coconut flakes sprinkled on top and I WALKED RIGHT PAST! I'm either stupid or I have gotten past the sugar cravings
