Maple Syrup- wasn't there a post?
I thought I remembered reading a post about this...
Today I was at Giant Eagle and I saw the Log Cabin clearly marked that it had no HFC.
Typically I buy Giant Eagle because I read lables before and it actually contains Maple Syrup.
So I decided to compare.
Both are 24oz.
Log Cabin 2.99
NO HFC But 1st ing. was Corn syrup followed by "Liquid Sugar" followed by a bunch of crap.
Giant Eagle 2/3
Yes HFC was listed first followed by Corn Syrup. Followed By MAPLE SYRUP then it says less than 2% of a couple things and some color.
Next I looked at nutrition. All about the same- not really good for ya, BUT the sodium on the Log Cabin was 153mg or something outragous and the Giant Eagle is only 25 mg!!!
Soooo I don't know. Pick you battles I guess.
I opted for a little HFC with some REAL MAPLE and like 1/6th the sodium.....
We don't eat syrup all that much...and I did switch to Simply ketchup with no HFC which Adam especially eats much more of than he does syrup!
ETA: who they heck actually eats a 1/4 cup of the stuff anyway?? really? we drizzle not eat it with a spoon- yuck!
Re: Maple Syrup- wasn't there a post?
corn syrup and HFCS are chemically different. I believe it is that corn syrup is just sugar from corn- and essentially all that Kayro syrup is. But HFCS is processed additionally in order to make it contain more fructose and less sucrose.
And yes, I was also surprised at the syrup serving size. I have been tracking calories since mid-January and always wonder about that in particular. it would make your pancakes all soggy!
