omg how funny:)) i was sometimes sneaking the maple syrup off the spoon feeling like a bad girl...i loved it so much also and i still do:)) hehehe...i dont think it's much to worry about ...i mean you are already being deprived of most food groups so what is a lil extra syrup going to hurt...if u want some more syrup dammit then go have more syrup if it keeps u from cheating and breaking your cleanse..that is my thought on it anyways...i would do anything not to break the cleanse ...more cayenne syrup whatever it takes:)) keep pressing on i am cheering for ya!! and i hope to do my next master cleanse around february...i just got done on november 16th...so now i am working on doing the other cleanses ...bowel...parasite ...liver flush ...yada yada yada and then another master cleanse...i was pretty strict about the swf and the lax teas...i think it was crucial on how i felt .....i had minimal detox symptoms the entire time...so remember that also
