But yeah, this was the most impressive study I could find on maple syrup.

So I think it's delicious, but I don't think we have good evidence that it's healthier.

And then you mentioned honey?

That's my go-to sugar.

Okay.

Well, totally.

I'll ruin my breakfast.

It does seem more promising to me, actually.

So like there is a big review that came out recently that looked at all the trials that have been done on honey.

And overall, it looked like there was a benefit with the honey, like multiple studies saying that people's cholesterol looked better than in the sugar, like the table sugar group, for example.

Yeah.

And some of the studies found a benefit specifically when they were giving people so-called raw honey or like unprocessed honey.

Oh, okay.

But when I talked to Kimber about this, she was like more positive than she was with the maple syrup.

But she did see some flaws in those studies too.

Like most of them didn't blind the people in them.

So they knew that they're getting honey and honey.

She thought, you know, maybe if people knew that they were getting this like supposedly healthy, you know, raw honey, then they'll do other healthy stuff too.

And the review pointed this out too, saying that at least a dozen of the studies in their review had this issue.

So overall, I asked Kimber...
