Am I missing something here?

The article says that “no additives…of any kind are added” yet describes adding cane sugar. Is this where all the sugars in the product come from? How then is “hickory syrup” not just hickory-bark-flavored sugar syrup? Tasty, I’m sure, perhaps also rich in magnesium, but a far cry from maple or other syrups made from the sugars already in the sap/juice of the plant itself, where literally nothing is added. It certainly seems disingenuous (if not outright inaccurate) to say it’s a product without additives if the very ingredient that makes it a syrup (sugar) is literally a non-hickory-bark additive. There’s nothing wrong with selling people a sugar syrup flavored with a delicious, nutritious, sustainably harvested botanical extract with a fascinating history, but a lot wrong with misleading people.
