Re: Stanley Burroughs

Have you tried the molasses? it has so many more nutrients. Going to go check on the acid (ash)status of the MS

Some find it delicious, including me.
Don't know about Burroughs, though I believe he's gone...

The majority of the minerals making up pure maple syrup are potassium, calcium, magnesium, and manganese. Minerals provide both specific and nonspecific roles in the body. Potassium plays a major role in maintaining cell integrity and is also critical in keeping the heartbeat steady. Calcium owns the distinction of being the most abundant mineral in the body. When there is a deficiency of calcium in the body, the bones will be the first to lose this vital mineral. Magnesium is critical to the operation of hundreds of enzymes. Magnesium acts in all the cells of the soft tissues, where it forms part of protein-making machinery and is necessary for the release of energy. Magnesium helps relax muscles after contraction and promotes resistance to tooth decay by holding calcium in tooth enamel. Only 20 milligrams of manganese is present in the human body. Studies suggest that manganese cooperates with many enzymes, helping to facilitate dozens of different metabolic processes.

The vitamins present in pure maple syrup are PP (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B2 (Riboflavin), Folic Acid, B6 (Pyridoxine), Biotin, and Vitamin A. Vitamins are essential, organic nutrients that serve as as helpers in cell functions. Niacin participates in the energy metabolism of every body cell. Niacin is unique among the B vitamins in that the body can make it from protein. Two other B vitamins-pantothenic acid and biotin-are also important in energy metabolism. Pantothenic acid was first recognized as a substance that stimulates growth. It is a component of a key enzyme that makes possible the release of energy from the energy nutrients. Riboflavin also facilitates energy production in the body. Vitamin B6 has long been known to play roles in protein and amino acid metabolism. In the cells, vitamin B6 helps to convert one kind of amino acid, which the cells have in abundance, to another, which they need in larger amounts. Vitamin A is a versatile vitamin, playing diverse roles in vision, mantnance of body linings and skin, and immune defenses.

Maple syrup not only contains trace amounts of these vitamin and minerals, but also amino acids which are the building blocks of protein.

it's alkaline

but it doesn't have anywhere near the calcium of mollasses, so if the body begins to dump a lot of its acid out of the cells, it will steal calcium from wherever it can, to normalize the all-important pH. maybe that's the source of some of your misery.
