Is maple syrup the ultimate sweetener? 

New research suggests that swapping refined sugar for pure maple syrup may lower blood sugar, reduce abdominal fat, improve gut health, and even support heart health.

In this episode, Philip (⁠@witsandweights⁠) explores what the science says, how to use maple syrup in a balanced diet, and what to keep in mind about natural sweeteners.

 Later this week:

• Can vitamin D and calcium lower blood pressure in older adults?
• Can omega-3 and omega-6 fats lower cancer risk?
• Why beans are the trendy new protein
• Does an 8 hour eating window (intermittent fasting) increase weight loss?
