Yacon Syrup: The New Agave?


I happened upon this jar of yacon syrup at Whole Foods the other day while perusing my maple options. I had never heard of it but apparently it's a natural sweetener with half the calories of cane sugar. Since agave turned out to be a big letdown in terms of its actual health properties --- and I the fool for believing that drizzling, nay, dousing, it over everything was really good for me -- I'm somewhat skeptical. But, I bought it anyway. Mostly, because I'm a sucker for a jazzy, modern label and the fact that it comes from Peru.
