Molasses Cures

Jan 6

Hey all:

I’ve found some interesting information regarding blackstrap molasses. Have you heard of it? I’m not talking about using this as a sweetener in your oatmeal – but more of as a supplement to your diet. Apparently for someone needing more iron in their diet, a.k.a. anyone anemic – this is the best way to get it naturally. You have to take the unsulphured, organic kind for it to be effective though.

Take one tablespoon first thing in the morning.

Earth Clinic says that “Regular ole molasses is the first or second boiling of cane sugar syrup while blackstrap is the third boiling of the syrup. Iron levels appear to increase 5% in the 3rd boiling.” There is an entire nutritional chart here including calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium and B6. WOW that sounds like a superfood to me…

It’s also been recommended by one of the forum writers for people with ulcerative colitis. So, of course I’m interested and gave it a try. I was skeptical because I’ve always heard that sugar causes mucus and that’s really the last thing that I need added to my diet – BUT regardless of my skepticism I decided to give it a whirl. So far so good… I’ve been feeling great and my belly is also feeling pretty good. I’ve also lowered my intake of other sugar so I’m not overloading my body with any additional mucus!

Something very important to remember is – if you add blackstrap molasses to your diet, even if you don’t have UC – be cautious of any other sugar you put into your body since you are basically starting your day off with one big gulp of sugar – and lots of other vitamins and minerals of course.

I hope this advice will take you far. Pass it on to friends – I think it’s pretty important stuff.

Take care of that temple of yours a.k.a. your body.
