Maple syrup is one of the many wonders of the world. This viscous amber liquid with its characteristic earthy sweet taste is made from the sap of the sugar, black or red maple tree.

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. Source:whfoods.com |

Cinnamon is the brown bark of the cinnamon tree, which when dried, rolls into a tubular form known as a quill.

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.

It also reduces triglyceride, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels among this group. Cinnamon’s other benefits include:
