I used the Maple Grove Farms of Vermont Grade A ($10.99 a Qt)that I get from ShopRite in Staten Island. My first week was great... all was well. I have lost 10.1 pounds in 7 days.
I received by mail order, 2 WEEKS after I ordered my $23.00 a Pint Organic Grade B Maple Syrup and I will never do that agin.
Go to http://www.maplegrove.com... click on "online store" go to "Pure maple syrup" and you will see the first product is what I get at the Grocery store for $10.99, it is $14.25 on line... SAME STUFF. Notice it states, DARK AMBER even though it is Grade A.
I sent you to the website just to assure you it is dark amber Grade A for that Brand if you can find it.
It is plent dark and thick & I have tons of energy using it and no sick times at all.
Good Luck... and I am NOT using the Molasses. alienlady
