I have recommended many other products from the Nature's Hollow brand, because they tend to stray away from nasty sweeteners like Splenda.
What Is In It?
The ingredients of this sugar free maple syrup are as follows:
Water
Xylitol
Xanthan gum
Natural maple flavor
Natural caramel color
Citric acid
Now this stuff may not be as healthy for you as Agave Nectar (Which is my #1 choice for Syrup), it is still a viable option for most people looking to keep sugar out of their diets, and for Diabetics!
The thing that I would be most weary of is that it contains Xylitol.
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol (Safe for Diabetics), and like most sugar Alcohols, it cannot be properly digested by your body.
What does that mean for you?
It means that if you eat massive amounts of the stuff, you will get diarrhea, gas, and cramps.
The Solution?
Don't eat massive amounts of the stuff! That's all!
Some people will have a lower tolerance for it than others. Some people will have a higher tolerance, but I'm sure if you use it in moderation you will be fine (By the way, Xylitol is much much easier on your body than other sugar alcohols such as Sorbitol or Maltitol, which are often contained in Sugar Free Gum).

If you're like me and have knowledge or experience that others would want, I can't speak highly enough about SBI!. It's allowed me to bake my passion for sugar-free recipes into an income-generating part-time hobby. Here's how I did it.
I hope my story can also be some sort of inspiration for you!

Natural Sugar Substitute Of The Month: Erythritol
Erythritol is a great substitute for sugar, although it is only about 65% as sweet as sugar, so you'll need to use more of it in order to properly bake with it.
