Comments on: Trader Joe’s 100% Maple Syrup http://highfructosehigh.com/trader-joes-100-maple-syrup/ If high-fructose corn syrup got you high, you'd most likely be high all the time!

Good info! I just bought Trader Joe's organic maple syrup for $5, such a good deal. I've thought for a while that I need to switch. When I got home, I pulled my half-empty Aunt Jemima LITE bottle and was shocked to find that NOWHERE in the ingredient list does it even mention "maple syrup." You know, how fruit juice labels say "Contains Real Juice!" I was at least expecting that, but no!! It's 100% fake crap. I'm really mad that I didn't read the label when I first bought the bottle!

On a recent store tour, I was told that almost every product in the store is HFCS-free, with the exception of some of their jams/jellies. I've been on the real maple syrup bandwagon since I found it there (affordable, like you said). I still can't get my husband to give up Mrs. Butterworth's, though. I cringe everytime he sets it on the table. I won't even get it out of the cabinet for him. I tell him if he wants his "death syrup," he better get it out. I did see a "pancake syrup" at Whole Foods that I think was HFCS-free, but if I recall it was almost $10 for a bottle! I’ve been crazy about how easy Trader Joe’s makes shopping healthfully.

I used to spend $9 on the organic 100% maple syrup from Safeway and just switched to non-organic 100% maple syrup for about $4 less. Not sure if there's really much of a difference between the two. Either way, my stomach turned when I was picking up my syrup yesterday and heard a young child yell, "Mom, we need syrup. I like Aunt Jemima" Ugh. - Brad CornSyrupKills.net Ok so give us a dollar amount!

I don't have a Trader Joe's nearby, but some of my friends do. Another option to consider for pancakes is honey. We raise our own bees so we use our honey as much as possible for sweetening/topping. It's easy to find local honey, which is always better than store-bought honey. Mix a little butter with honey and gently warm and then pour over pancakes. Delicious. This is great news!
