Hey guys – I wanted to get the collective pulse on the use of 100% pure maple syrup on CarbNite. I've typically used a heavy dose of dextrose and honestly, it's not very enjoyable. I'd like to start using some maple syrup. Does anyone see any problems with this?
Some folks will scoff at the sucrose content, but I think it's a great carbnite/CBL carb source.

Isnt syrup just sugar? meaning it has a high fructose content?Nvm just looked it up. Mainly Sucrose, Followed by Glucose, then a little bit of Fructose.

Sucrose is 50/50 fructose-glucose.

there is glucose syrup…Ive never used it, but by the name it would be 100% Dextrose. If it tastes anything like normal syrup i guess that would be the best alternative
That's an interesting way of thinking about it—glucose syrup is 100% dextrose (another name for d-glucose)—but yeah, you're right. You have probably had glucose syrup (or confectioners syrup) at some point in your life in the way of candy (rock candy, gummy bears, some taffies). If you're in the USA, though, most of this was put aside for HFCS.

Right, theres a Natural Market i frequent that carry's Glucose Syrup. Maybe Ill give it a try just for fun. I usually just put a little bit of Jelly or load up on sugar free syrup.

Karo's Light Corn Syrup with Maple Flavoring Extract!
Ahh maple flavoring!! Good thoughts! Might add that to my pancake mix, and just keep my grape jelly though ahaha
Maple Syrup is very high in fructose. On Carb Nite it's not that big of a deal, but try to keep your consumption of it limited.

Obviously it varies depending on refinement, but I've seen it being around 20-40% fructose. I wouldn't call that very high, but if you're trying to limit overall fructose intake it could hinder that goal...esp since more is generally tastier in terms of maple syrup.

Why is dextrose ( corn sugar ) good and HFCS bad?
