These antioxidants are known to have anti-cancer,  anti-bacterial and anti-diabetic properties.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know that plants must have strong antioxidant mechanisms because  they are in the sun throughout their lives,&#8221; Seeram said. &#8220;We already  know that berries, because of their bright colors, are high in  anti-oxidants. Now we are looking at maple syrup, which comes from the  sap located just inside the bark, which is constantly exposed to the  sun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Previous research has found that maple syrup is full of naturally  occurring minerals such as zinc, thiamine and calcium.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maple syrup is unique in that it is the only commercial product in  our diet that comes from a plant\u0092s sap. Canada is the biggest producer  of maple syrup and the U.S. is the biggest consumer,&#8221; Seeram said.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?feedid=2035&amp;itemid=19682759\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.personalliberty.com\/news\/research-finds-beneficial-compounds-in-pure-maple-syrup-19682759\/\" >http:\/\/www.personalliberty.com\/news\/&#8230;yrup-19682759\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>04.08.10 07:01 PM New research suggests that pouring pure maple syrup on your next order of pancakes will do much more than just give you a sugar high.
