Maple syrup is made by boiling the sap of the sugar maple until it is
67% solids. (It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of
syrup.) There is no corn or beet sugar in it at all. The garbage you
can buy in most grocery stores is corn syrup with caramel flavors.

There should be a major difference.
