Pure maple a good post-workout carb?

[ohashi]

Is it fructose? Fructose is a horrible choice for post-workout carbohydrates.

I've been putting pure maple syrup into my post-workout protein shakes. Should I be steered away from this practice or is it a good (enough) simple carb?

I ask because anything that tastes this good probably can't be beneficial.

use sugar.... there are actually more calories / sweetness in honey/syrup than there are in pure sugars.

I think fructose only refills liver glycogen not muscle glycogen, so it would be a bad choice post workout....
