True maple syrup, which is incredibly high in sugar, might send a diabetic into a coma. Thus, there is a continuing market for the false stuff.

I buy artificial, sugar-free, kinda-maply-flavored goo. The Walmart house brand!

If something isn’t “Vermont maple syrup” - which any idiot should be able to say it is or isn’t, based on whether it’s cooked up from maple sap from trees in Vermont, or not - it shouldn’t be labelled “Vermont maple syrup.”

They need to prosecute anybody putting fake goods of any kind on the market. Fake drugs kill people. Fake aircraft parts are a crash waiting to happen. Now fake syrup. Medical concerns are absolutely real.

Absolutely wrong! Maple syrup (the real stuff) contains natural phenols, which make it far less a danger for diabetics than pure sugar.

So, label it accordingly. Most diabetics are responsible enough to avoid life-threatening sweets! Maple Flavored Syrup, instead of Pure Maple Syrup.
