Just out of curiosity, will anything bad happen if I use Grade A Medium Amber maple syrup?

In the Master Cleanse original book, he says he prefers garde B cuz it's darker and has more beneficial stuff in it but the most important thing was the processing-it has to be done without using poison. "Bad" is such a subjective term on this Cleanse, don't you think?:rolleyes:

it's not as good for you and doesn't have as much nutrients so you may feel hungry and weak. try to get the grade b asap

I'll add a little bit to that: Here's what Burroughs says straight from the book. Just do what you can. :)

The maple syrup is a balanced form of positive and negative sugar and must be used, not some “substitute.” There are three grades of maple syrup. Grade A is the first run— mild in taste, sweet and with fewer minerals than the other grades. It is more expensive and less desirable but it may be used.

Grade B is the second run with more minerals plus more maple taste. It is more suitable for the diet and is less expensive. Grade C is the third run with even more minerals and still stronger taste of maple and slightly less pleasant for most people, although acceptable in the diet. It is lower in price. As Grade C is less expensive it can be used as an excellent sweetening agent in preparing foods. The strong maple flavor blends very well.
