Is Maple syrup good for me?

We talk about maple syrup in the book, it is a low GI sweetener that is the closest thing to cola with a “k”.  It’s not that good for you, because it still is a sugar, but we know how addicted to coke some people are, so replacing coke with mineral water and a tablespoon of maple syrup is a good step if you can’t give up coke by going cold turkey.
