Agave nectar or agave syrup is healthier (in some ways) than white sugar, but it is also much more expensive. Also, not all recipies will work out if you substitute the agave because it is a liquid and because it is 1.5 times sweeter than white sugar.
Agave is a fructose, which means it has a lower glycemic index than white sugar, which is a sucrose. It is also more natural. However, consuming a lot of agave is just as unhealthy as consuming a lot of sugar, and it can still cause health problems. If your doctor has recommended decreasing your sugar intake, ask him if agave would be an appropriate substitute. It depends on the reason he asked you to decrease your sugar.
