This viscous amber liquid with its characteristic earthy sweet taste is made from the sap of the sugar, black or red maple tree. The process of creating maple syrup begins with tapping (piercing) the tree, which allows the sap to run out freely. The sap is clear, almost tasteless, and very low in sugar content when first tapped. It is then boiled to evaporate the water producing syrup with the characteristic flavor and color of maple syrup and sugar content of 60%. Maple syrup is sweet - and we’re not just talking flavor. Maple syrup, as an excellent source of manganese and a good source of zinc, can also be sweet for your health.

Cinnamon is available in either its whole quill form (cinnamon sticks) or as ground powder. Cinnamon’s essential oils also qualify it as an “anti-microbial” food, and cinnamon has been studied for its ability to help stop the growth of bacteria as well as fungi, including the commonly problematic yeast Candida. In laboratory tests, growth of yeasts that were resistant to the commonly used anti-fungal medication fluconazole was often (though not always) stopped by cinnamon extracts. One of the most talked about benefits of cinnamon relates to type 2 diabetes. A study published in the journal Diabetes Care found that half a teaspoon of cinnamon a day significantly reduces blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It also reduces triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels among this group. Cinnamon’s other benefits include: Supports digestive function Constricts and tones tissues Relieves congestion Relieves pain and stiffness of muscles and joints Relieves menstrual discomfort Blood-thinning compounds that stimulate circulation Anti-inflammatory compounds that may relieve arthritis Helps prevent urinary tract infections, tooth decay and gum disease It’s a powerful anti-microbial agent that can kill E. coli and other bacteria Anti-Microbial Activity: Cinnamon’s essential oils also qualify it as an “anti-microbial” food, and cinnamon has been studied for its ability to help stop the growth of bacteria as well as fungi, including the commonly problematic yeast Candida.
