Hi Herman

While i know of no official analysis of the syrup you are talking about,
my guess is that it is fairly similar to any other concentrated syrup like
maple syrup, or brown rice syrup or molasses.

My concern with any of these is not their "glycemic index/load" but
how much of any and all of these concentrated refined caloric
sweeteners anyone would consume. The real issue for most people is
not which one they consume, but how much of each combined they
consume.

In Health
Jeff
