Maple Syrup Nutrition

 

The health value of maple syrup has become known world wide. Concentrating 30 to 40 litres of sap into 1 litre of pure maple syrup results in a sweetener loaded with nutrients and has fewer calories by volume than other "natural" or processed sugar and syrups and the flavour is real, not man-made.

MAPLE SYRUP A CANCER FIGHTER, SAYS SAULT RESEARCHER 03/24/08

From The Sault Star

Tasty, and good for you!

Mamdouh Abou-Zaid, a research scientist at the Great Lakes Forestry Centre in Sault Ste. Marie was cited as leading a group that discovered antioxidant properties in maple syrup, adding, "I think people underestimate the benefits of maple syrup."

The story says that over the course of approximately five years, Abou-Zaid et al collected samples of four different grades of syrup produced by three producers on St. Joseph Island east of the Sault, and embarked on the lengthy process of breaking down the samples down into their molecular compounds.

They found 24 compounds with proven capability to slow or prevent oxidation in the body, in which oxygen over the years damages cells and leads to the likes of cancer, stroke and heart and neurodegenerative disease.

Although the high natural sugar content of maple syrup has its drawbacks, the antioxidant properties of syrup "may aid in overcoming any negative effects of the high sugar content of the syrup."
Their findings were published recently in the scientific journal Pharmaceutical Biology.
