Pancake syrup has been getting a lot of bad press lately.
While real maple syrup is good for us, the sweet imitation could be just the opposite. The caramel coloring used in some syrup contains a cancer-causing carcinogen. So how much syrup do you need to pour on to be at risk? Consumer Reports tested the most popular brands, which do have more of the caramel color, and determined you would have to eat pancakes with syrup every day, for life.
If you really love pancakes or waffles, consider using real maple syrup instead. You also want to watch your intake of certain colas, which contain the same coloring and could compound your caramel cancer risk.
