Understanding Sugar Sensitivity & Its Impact on Mood

Question
Greetings!  A little background.  I am chemically sensitive.  I was poisoned by pesticides, which produced a myriad of health problems.  Because of this poisoning, I started tuning in to how I was feeling and what I had just eaten or exposed myself to environmentally.  Through this tuning-in I discovered, through time and experience, that sugar (even organic sugar) makes me crabby.  So, I totally quit sugar.  My temperament/attitude is stable and good without sugar.  

Recently I changed from a strictly organic diet, which included organic meat and/or organic dairy once to twice a week to a strict vegetarian diet.  I noticed a significant improvement in my energy level and mood.  

Shortly after going strictly vegetarian I started a partial fast.  I fast in the morning until noon, using fresh squeezed lemons and 2 tablespoons of certified organic Grade B maple syrup.  This is a recommended fast to detoxify, but I am doing it only in the morning.  Anyway, I was concerned about how the maple syrup would affect my emotions.  Well, I cannot believe that it is not affecting them at all.  In fact, I feel absolutely fabulous emotionally and energy-wise.  I am taking this drink three to six times a day.  Sometimes I fast with this drink until 4 p.m.  So, therefore, I am consuming 6 - 12 tablespoons of maple syrup a day.  My sister said sugar is sugar and it is not good to jolt the pancreas this way.  I do wonder about this, but the maple syrup does not affect my emotions at all.  In fact, as I said, I am feeling the best I have felt - consistently - for years and years.  I have this amazing calm and peace inside.  Wonderbar.  I want to continue with my lemon juice/maple syrup drink.

Is it OK to consume maple syrup, to the degree I am consuming it, without harming myself in the long run?

I am 57 years old.

Answer
I do agree that sugars are sugars when ingested.  However, I see no reason why 2 tablespoons of maple syrup would be harmful.  No different from 2 tablespoons of Honey, or carbohydrate wise, from half a bagel.  If it feels good, I would continue it.
