Seriously Perfect.
And to top it off, I have to mention how amazing maple syrup is. It not only is the world's best tasting food ever, it is super charged with manganese, zinc, and potassium. Zinc and manganese are important allies in the immune system. Many types of immune cells appear to depend upon zinc for optimal function. Particularly in children, researchers have studied the effects of zinc deficiency (and zinc supplementation) on their immune response and their number of white blood cells, including specific studies on T lymphocytes, macrophages, and B cells (all types of white blood cells important for immune defenses). In these studies, zinc deficiency has been shown to compromise numbers of white blood cell and immune response, while zinc supplementation has been shown to restore conditions to normal. In addition to the role played by zinc, the manganese in maple syrup is important since, as a component of the antioxidant SOD, it helps lessen inflammation, thus supporting healing. In addition, manganese may also act as an immunostimulant. So that is enough incentive for me to eat as much as I can afford. It takes 40 - 50 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup, so if you imagine the work and resources that go into it, you can understand why the real stuff is so expensive, and why it is so worth it.
