  No observable anxiety there. I assume you're drinking natural maple syrup.

  To anyone that hasn't drank various types of maple syrup, I highly recommend it. Maple syrup can have a very different taste profile based on where the trees are, what year it is, animal diversity in the area, etc. As a species we have some vague idea of how these things interrelate with the syrup product, but the specifics are currently beyond comprehension. Check out the official Canadian Maple Flavour Wheel to get an idea of the various flavors at hand: https://agriculture.canada.ca/sites/default/files/legacy/resources/prod/doc/sci/maple-erable/maple-erable_eng.pdf https://agriculture.canada.ca/sites/default/files/legacy/res... [pdf] I recommend to seek out producers of syrup that sell their product directly and can confirm it is unmixed - A lot of grocery-scale distributors will mix together various batches of syrup to make it more uniform at scale which largely robs you of that magical uniqueness. If you can sample it right off the distillator at a syrup farm - holy crap, you HAVE to. Absolutely divine. And leave the artificial high fructose syrup at the grocery store!

This study [1] shows that a diet of 79g/kg of sucrose (table sugar) did not increase anxiety in rats when compared to a sugar-free diet. It also shows that a diet of 100g/kg of honey reduced anxiety. Anxiety was inferred by looking at behavior in an elevated plus maze. Rats were fed food composed to approximate the New Zealand diet and they were observed for a year. 1: https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50178822/j.physbeh.2009.03.00120161107-1381-1rgj6mt-libre.pdf?1478587572=&response-content-disposition=inline%3B+filename%3DThe_effects_of_long_term_honey_sucrose_o.pdf&Expires=1670886346&Signature=ai8~ez9qM8MHNqPKdNNLq0EBhYA18dIDw~560Qd-H7ERuZbCJiEQ6h4GKRoG6DabFWjh3mykOtiwpajxKHfdVsV6R2II6PQ6YX5Cq1vwh0DMN4ExQNCEaOrFyiE59UnaVeAJ6s2DKUmpqTiW-8eSLo3LqtN2ILto-SIpxcKEGLIgQaWVL9CSkqtjPcDimAo9KvdL-r9zwbP7LLb9AblE92thFPDnzzv6YESQGO8VtT9wBjw6zg6oO0cG65HEp~pzagNbirdixRf6K5ycNT0doj7d3Sl5g~P5xckIcCi42SzeMNugYW7twbEb3EqfhhPQ74jzGB95EFhJo5-Xn30EcA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/50178822/j.physbeh.200... and https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2009.03.001 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2009.03.001
