Well this is slightly off topic but since maple syrup is involved...
Belgian waffles! Gah! Why must I eat the main course first at that hotel buffet place before picking that thing as a dessert? :thud:
Anyway, I just found this interesting tidbit on how maple syrup is healthy for you.
* It is a 100% natural, wholey organic food. There is no way to alter it
* Maple Sugar is three times as sweet as cane sugar, AND it has few calories!
* Maple Sugar is 100% pure. No reduction, processing or removal of anything
* Maple Syrup contains manganese and zinc, natural antioxidents which are good for your immune system, male reproductive systems and helps prevent damage to the heart.
