American pancake and waffle lovers who consume large quantities of syrup containing caramel colour may be putting themselves at a higher risk of developing cancer, a new report reveals.
Caramel colour is often used to give imitation maple syrups in the U.S. their amber hue common in more expensive pure maple syrups.
Consumer Reports, an American magazine published by the Consumers Union, says that some types of caramel colour contain 4-MeI, a potential carcinogen.

Beet wine will freak out any drug inspector, lots of it the night before, 2 days is even better. Turnip wine just kept blowing that caps off too much. There has to be some way to use it without a dollop of moist white flour being the 'bulk' of the food. Time for a new 'trail treat' maple flavored, as a gummy thing or ground into your oat fiber treats, ....... when you need the extra 64,000 calories per hour. It does cure that drool some people get as they pass the bacon isle but at a heavy cost.

If you dig a well in the middle the round fruity things won't roll away. (blending is optional after that point)

I think there's probably a greater risk of developing rotten teeth! -:)

asked them where they got their syrup, and they told me "from the north"

Well fukk, good enough for the girl I go with.......................eh.

Well I know how dangerous it would be for me. And then I was stupid enough to start a pancake discussion in the pool this morning at 7:00 A.M.

Torture.

Pancakes are my feel good food. Don't have them too often so when I do the are delicious.

However a discussion at 7:00AM is dangerous.

table syrup is so unappetizing. I love maple syrup. It's goes really well on vanilla ice cream too.

I can't stand "maple" flavoured stuff. ick.

Maple syrup is the best but I can only take it in small doses, it's far, far too sweet. But I agree on the maple flavoured yuck, blah! Lol.
