Maple syrup · Treats & Drinks

Pure maple syrup isn't toxic, but it's concentrated sugar — only a trace, rarely, if at all. Skip 'pancake syrup', which is artificial and even worse.

Keeper's noteA near-invisible drizzle to make a new food tempting is the only justifiable use, and even that is optional. Pure maple only, never imitation syrup.

What to watch out for with maple syrup

Real maple syrup is boiled-down tree sap — essentially natural sugar with trace minerals. It's not poisonous, but it's so sugar-dense that any meaningful amount is unhealthy. Imitation 'pancake syrup' is high-fructose corn syrup with flavoring and offers even less reason to share.
