Isnt that just because agave is 80% fructose to 20% glucose, instead of the 55/45 split of hfcs.

Yeah but agave is also a natural product from the agave plant, not artificially made, so it probably contains more useful nutrition, although I guess less than honey. But better than synthetically made anyway.
