Erythritol, a sugar substitute found in products marketed for diabetics, may increase the risk of stroke and heart attack due to its harmful effects on brain cells.

Not only does maple syrup have a lower glycemic index than white sugar, but research also suggests that it contains antioxidants and important minerals.

This syrup is just enough to add a little touch of sweetness and flavor to any drink. I use it mostly for smoothies and frozen coffee.
