I've heard that the two don't go well together in the digestive track. That nuts tend to ferment in the gut if eaten with Sugar causing gas, bloating and abdominal discomfort. I've kinda seen this to be true with be whenever I eat Chocolate Pecans and peanut butter with honey.
The last time I mixed Honey into my peanut butter I noticed how much thicker it immeadiately became.
So, what's your experience been with nuts and sugar together?

Re: Nuts & Sugar
Mon, August 13, 2007 - 7:51 PMYa know... The person whom mentioned the bit about nuts not working well with sugar mentioned that it's because of how fast the body converts processed and even other types of sugars.... Being that Agave is Low Glycemic, I wonder if the problem does not exist in that dynamic?. . . The sugar in Agave is more energy based and sustainable, not the quick high then crash of white & even brown sugars. (lately when I eat processed sugar I tend to just get really really tired afterwards... maybe an hour or so after)
Food for thought.. haha.. no pun there eh?!
