Recipe calls for Maple Syrup and Yeast and says that the yeast will consume the sugar. Is this true?

Hello,

I am currently looking at a recipe which calls for a mixture of yeast and maple syrup. The author states that the yeast will consume all the sugar in the maple syrup thus making it sugarless/carb less. Does yeast really do this?

Here is an excerpt from the recipe:

“Proof the yeast. This involves mixing dry active yeast with water that’s just warm to touch (between 105-110°F to be precise) and maple syrup or honey for 7 minutes until foamy. And before you scream sugar (!!) remember that the yeast will feed on such sugar to emit carbon dioxide, so it doesn’t affect the carb count. And yes, this is a scientific fact.”

Does anyone have experience with this? If so is this really the case?

Thanks
