Yeah, I wasn&#x27;t really trying to single out maple syrup as an ideal &quot;healthy food&quot;. It&#x27;s just a particularly egregious example of deceptive labeling, inasmuch as most people who think they&#x27;re buying it are, in reality, buying a 100% synthetic imitation. There are people who will tell you they love maple syrup, unaware that they&#x27;ve never actually even <i>had</i> maple syrup.<p>A more widely known example is &quot;juice&quot; that is 0% juice.<p>The same thing occurs with varying degrees of severity for all the food offered at major grocers, including healthier options like loaves of bread (most off-the-shelf breads at Walmart contain large quantities of either sugar or brown sugar) and canned fruits (the &quot;standard&quot; version is usually canned in &quot;heavy syrup&quot;, i.e., sugar water).
