I've been using grade "A" maple syrup coz that's all I was able to get at the grocery store last week and didn't have time to go to the health food store. It was $15-something (Canadian) for one liter. The grade "B" at the health food store was $25 or so, I found out on the phone, and the "C" was $20, both for liters. Aren't B and C supposed to be cheaper than A? (Hmm, this sounds like something from my kids' math books.)- Re: Is grade "A" maple syrup accepta... Didi

Hi Squirrel,
Well, if you've been using it all week I guess it is ok. I think that B and C have more minerals and nutrients in them. In the states, I think that there is only B (there are only really 2 grades). I am surprised that A is the most expensive, but I guess it is probably the sweetest and is what is used in desserts and toppings so maybe it does make sense.
Good luck!

This is a reply to # 448,361Hi Squirrel...at my local health food store they sell the Grade B/C syrup in bulk...and it's only $15 a litre. They have to pour it for me. Maybe you can find a place that's like that?
The Grade A, is just not as good for you. But if it's all you've got...then that's okay!

This is a reply to # 448,361I did over a third of my fast on Grade A...switched to Grade B when I found it, but mixed in the Grade A to finish it...didn't really notice that much of a difference, but others say it makes you less hungry, supposedly because of the extra minerals...

Squirrel,
Where are you located? I'm in Missauga/Brampton area, just outside Toronto. #2 Amber is the suggested equivalent. #2 amber is more difficult to locate in Ontario because of stricter something or the other, plus farmers try to minimize the production of #2 amber for some reason (according to my Farmer Robert). Highland Farms is the only grocer that I know of that carry's it on mainstream shelves. Priced at $12.99/500ml, it's pretty steep, otherwise check the "organic section" at Fortino's/SuperStore chain. I buy my #2 amber maple syrup from a Maple Syrup farm just outside Kitchener for $25/2L
Also, do a google search for your provincial Maple Syrup Association and they will list all the local farms in your area.

MoreThis is a reply to # 448,375I'm in south-central British Columbia, half an hour outside of a small town that only has one health food store. The next nearest bigger town is an hour away.
Thanks for suggesting the maple syrup associations...will look into that. Dunno if there are any actual producers here in BC.
Thanks to you all, too, for your answers. I guess all it is, then, is if I would've had the B-grade syrup, I would've felt even less hungry. But I did fine with the A stuff. I don't miss what I haven't tried. Next cleanse I'll try to get some B.

This is a reply to # 448,380Hey everyone,
Hope all is well. Things are good here, day 8 so far so good. I guess i'm the resident experimenter when it comes to this issue so here goes.
I tried B and did well. Ran out of it could only get A, felt hungry until I got B again...
Tried molasses Blackstrap organic-horrible! Tried regular molasses-equally horrible...
Went back to A cuz it's all I had on my first fast to finish out with. I only noticed a difference of hunger but perhaps there's more difference I don't know of.
I do know that this fast (2nd) I am using only B and guess what?
I'm hungry alot. Perhaps I'm not drinking enough lemonaide-go figure. All I know is i'm not weak and I feel better than most of my whole life eating. I can deal with some hunger here and there.
I keep having desires to eat but we'll see what happens after day 10, unexplored territory. That's my 2cents. God Bless!
