Just to let you know that I think there is an error in this article.
From JacknorrisMD.com:" The article states that high fructose corn syrup is about 70 to 90 percent fructose and high fructose corn syrup is 55 percent fructose."
I think that should be:" The article states that agave syrup is about 70 to 90 percent fructose and high fructose corn syrup is 55 percent fructose."
Also the link to the article on the Mercola website is no longer working.

Thanks for having a good eye and taking the time to let me know about this rainbowcarrot! It looks like the Mercola people either deleted, removed or changed the URL of their article. I've updated my article with the reference to agave syrup vs fructose too. Thanks again!

"Was looking for a nut free, vegan cookie recipe to make and bring to meet my Boyfriends Parents...Let's just say they were all beyond delighted, and his Sisters Boyfriend who has an allergy to eggs was over the moon that he could eat them and proclaimed them as "Glorious" cookies!! Thank you so much for putting such effort into making this phenomenal recipe! The family I nanny for was also so elated (they were my taste testers) that they insisted we make another batch the following day! "

"I've made this a few times and have used pea milk instead (the guy who brought us Method cleaning products is now doing vegan mylk). I am trying to avoid soya, and found that using only coconut vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar really gives a mild taste (my stepdaughter, who is almost 9, found the apple cider vinegar version too vinegary). I too am trying to cut the salt, as I used to buy unsalted butter before, but overall, a fantastic butter/margarine alternative. Thanks for this! :)"

How to Make Vegan Butter - Regular Vegan Butter - Coconut Oil Base

"Unfortunately sauteing with your butter recipe ends up in unwanted clumps due to xantham gum being fried at high temperatures. Perhaps you could use something that melts. You are right about the acidic taste. The vinegar flavor ruins the butter experience if you were to spread it on bread to be eaten directly. Lemon juice has the same effect. Moreover, I did try organic coconut oil which resulted in the best flavor. But, as I am sure everyone knows, organic oil is extremely expensive. It is also interesting to note that this butter for some reason will collect mold rather quickly if not used soon enough. Freezing only retards the mold growth. How long do you hold your butter before using? Have you tried other neutral tasting acids with..."
