All good and everything, as you intended it to sound, except for one bit: why do you think sweeteners like agave nectar are more nutritionally virtuous than sugar? The fact that it's agave doesn't mean it is not just empty calories. And it's not like this is a new revelation of science - several nutritionists have blogged about this senseless distinction in the past.
Given that we are being so strict about nutrition, I think you seriously need to reconsider your position before you go on advertising natural sweeteners as an okay thing to have vs sugar or other sweeteners. Why would anyone recommend empty calories?
