In most cases, Grade B Organic Maple Syrup is recommended for use with the Master Cleanse; however, Stanley Burroughs, the creator of the master cleanse diet, advises that Blackstrap Molasses be used in the event the cleanser has hyperglycemia or diabetes. Agave nectar is also commonly substituted by some, in such cases, as it boasts a low glycemic index.
Agave and Molasses are low on the glycemic index. That means the glucose and carbohydrates in these syrups are metabolized slowly, demanding less insulin production and stabilizing blood sugar.
A sweet syrup derived from Mexico’s Blue Agave plant, Agave nectar is an all-natural, low-glycemic sweetener that is also very tasty. Many compare it’s flavor to that of honey. Unlike many other syrups and artificial sweeteners, agave syrup ranks very low on the glycemic index and is not known to spike blood sugar levels.
Molasses is a byproduct of sugar cane or sugar beats. You are probably familiar with molasses, as it is a common syrup used in baking recipes and beverages such as rum. In the days before white refined table sugar became a predominant household sweetener, molasses syrup was a primary sweetener found in most kitchens across the world.
(Only organic, chemical-free syrup is suggested to be used in conjunction with the master cleanse.)
