Maple syrup is an excellent source of manganese, an essential cofactor in a number of enzymes important in energy production and antioxidant defenses and a good source of zinc. 2  A recent study demonstrated that maple syrup contains phenolic compounds that have antioxidant and anti-cancerogenic properties.3  With a glycemic index of 54, maple syrup is considered a low glycemic product, which means it affects blood sugar to a lesser degree than sugar (GI 58) or honey (GI 87).4
