"Don't forget molasses, especially blackstrap molasses, which has about 500 milligrams in a tablespoon. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine has determined that for adults, 4,700 milligrams of potassium a day is adequate.712 A word of warning: Potassium can interact with many prescription drugs, particularly blood pressure medications. Quite a few of these medications could boost the potassium level dangerously if a person on one of these drugs also took a potassium pill or used a potassium chloride salt substitute." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)

"They include such foods as yogurt, molasses, sugar, and milk and are digested quickly into the body. The complex carbohydrates would be a better choice. These are foods that take longer to digest such as vegetables, cereals, and legumes." "What about processedfoods? " Kevin L. Snead: "It is always better to avoid refined foods that are high in sugar. And also better to eat food that is closer to its natural form. Foods that are refined have been handled a lot, and each time you do something else with that food you get fewer nutrients." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"As a fellow former sugar junkie (believe me, I feel your pain), I'm very sorry to say this means NOT EATING the following versions or anything with these versions or varieties of sugar in any of your food: brown sugar, fructose, sucrose, glucose, maltose, succinate, molasses, date sugar, beet sugar, grape sugar, cane sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, corn sugar, fruit juice concentrate, sorbitol, barley malt, caramel, carob syrup, maltodextrin, dextran, dextrose, sorghum syrup." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Gravy and cream sauces thickened with flour, soy sauce, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, brewer's yeast (unless prepared with a sugar molasses base), yeast extract (contains barley), malted drinks, beer, ale, gin, whiskey, and drinks like Postum, Ovaltine, and Cocoamalt. Depending on your current diet, taking gluten out may be relatively easy or you may feel as if there is no food left on the planet. Fortunately, this feeling should last only a day or two, until you find things to replace your habitual grains." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"The most common sugars are identified on labels as sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, corn-syrup solids, molasses, maple syrup, dextrose, turbinado sugar, cane sugar, brown sugar, and natural sweeteners. In addition, Xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, and maltodextrin are sugars, although they are not well absorbed. Raw sugar is simply dirty white sugar, and brown sugar is white sugar that has been colored with a little molasses—don't be fooled by their more natural look. Many brands of salt also contain small amounts of sugar." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Additional killer ingredients in processed foods are sucrose, fructose, maltose, dextrose, polydextrose, corn syrup, molasses, sorbitol, maltodextrin, high fructose corn syrup, margarine, BHA, BHT, sulfates, sulfites, dyes and colorings." - Susan E.

"Avocado (high in heart-healthy oils) • Wheat grass, barley grass and other cereal grass juices • Fish oils, flax oils, macadamia nut oil • Tomatoes (raw only) • Carrots (raw, unpeeled only) • Wheat germ (very high in essential fatty acids) • molasses (very high in B vitamins) • Beets, radishes (liver cleanser, blood cleanser, raw only) By the way, every fruit or vegetable on this list must be eaten in raw form only. For example, a can of cooked beets or a glass of V8 juice just isn't the same. If it's cooked, it's dead. And it's no longer a superfood." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Syrup and molasses are fermented to produce rum and other cane spirits. Sugar has countless uses in cookery and confectionery to preserve, sweeten and to enhance flavour. Nutritional value Cane sugar yields 375 kcal per 100 g. It is digested to glucose (essential for healthy living, has to be maintained at 1 g per litre blood).

"If you crave sugar: In recipes, maple syrup, molasses, sorghum syrup, and granulated sugarcane juice (Sucanat) can sometimes substitute for table sugar. These are hardly health foods! The idea is to replace refined white sugar with a smaller amount of syrup or juice. They're so flavorful you won't notice you're using less. Stevia is an intensely sweet derivative of an herb from Paraguay. It is sold as a dietary supplement (its use as a commercial food additive has not yet been approved)." - Neal D.

"Today, every grade of sugar can be obtained from cane sugar—from molasses through black sugar, the various browns, and then the finer whites. In the seventeenth century a small, primitive, on-farm mill would only produce molasses and one grade of sugar. The heat was fierce, since there was no means of cooling the sugar house. Temperatures of 140°F were recorded, and even at night, the temperature near the vat would be well over 120°F. Humidity would also be very high and therefore exhausting. It was a job for blacks, not whites, slaves, not free men." - Henry Hobhouse, Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind (Get the book.)

"Torula yeast is grown on blackstrap molasses or wood pulp. A liquid yeast product from Switzerland called Bio-Strath, distributed by Bioforce USA, is derived from herbs, honey, and malt. It is a natural product that we highly recommend. Live baker's yeast should be avoided. Live yeast cells actually deplete the body of B vitamins and other nutrients. In nutritional yeast, these live cells are destroyed, leaving the beneficial nutrients behind. Yeast may be consumed in juice or water, and is a good energy booster between meals." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "If necessary, a small amount of blackstrap molasses or pure maple syrup can be used as a natural sweetener in place of sugar. Use whole wheat or rye instead of white flour. Do not consume anything containing alcohol or caffeine. Q Do not eat any animal protein—never eat luncheon meat, hot dogs, or smoked or cured meats. As your condition improves, eat broiled fish three times a week. Q Be wary of farmed fish. In a major study reported in the journal Science, increased levels of cancer-causing PCBs were found in farmed salmon as compared with wild-caught fish." - Phyllis A.

"Pellagra was particularly common amongst the Southern poor, who ate meals that were typically dominated by meat (pork fatback), molasses, and cornmeal. Pellagra is still a significant problem in those areas of the developing world, where white rice or maize dominate diets. According to M.C. Latham, the highest recorded recent prevalence has occurred in the 1990s in South Africa.3 Some 50% of 59 patients seen in a clinic in Transvaal showed evidence of pellagra, while the majority of adults in a Pretoria mental hospital suffered from this disorder." - Dr. Abram Hoffer, MD, FRCP (C) and Dr. Harold D. Foster, PhD, Feel Better, Live Longer with Vitamin B-3 (Get the book.)

"Flour products, all types of flour • ?Bagels, breads, rolls, wraps, pastas, etc. ??Liquid sugar • ?Processed fruit juices, which are often loaded with sugars.Try juicing your own carrots, celery, and beets instead, or other fruit and vegetable combinations Sodas or any type of canned or bottled drinks with any type of sugar or sweetener ??" - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"No sugar; raw, filtered honey or molasses are OK in small quantities. No refined-flour products, and watch out for hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils! They contain unnatural molecules that are likely to accumulate in a baby's brain and nervous system." Diana was taking notes. "We've started in this direction," she said. "Still a way to go, though." I waited until she finished. "Once the diet's under control, the supplements will actually do more good," I said. "Folic acid is firsr. Please use 1 milligram—that's 1,000 micrograms—every day." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R.

"The best food sources of chromium are brewer's yeast, sugar beet molasses, and meats, such as liver and beef. Simple chromium salts do not have the same biological activity as GTF chromium. GTF chromium is absorbed better in the bowel and is more potent as an insulin potentiator, is better for improving impaired glucose tolerance, and is less toxic. Chromium polynicotinate (also called chromium nicotinate) is similar in properties to GTF. Safety Chromium has an exceptional safety profile." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"It may also be found in dried beans, blackstrap molasses, broccoli, calf liver, chicken, corn and corn oil, dairy products, dried liver, dulse, eggs, green beans, mushrooms, and potatoes. Herbs that contain chromium include catnip, horsetail, licorice, nettle, oat straw, red clover, sarsaparilla, wild yam, and yarrow. Comments Active, athletic individuals—people who engage in vigorous aerobic activities and consume higher amounts of carbohydrates than the general population—have higher chromium requirements than nonathletes." - Phyllis A.

"Non-heme iron is also found in these foods, as well as in dried fruit, molasses, leafy green vegetables, wine, and iron supplements. Acidic foods (such as tomato sauce) cooked in an iron pan can also be a source of dietary iron." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D.

"Ashwagandha taken as a powder in milk or mixed in molasses is rich in iron and can treat iron-deficient anemia. • Astragalus is useful for treating people with angina and mild congestive heart failure. • Cordyceps benefits the vascular system and helps regulate blood pressure and strengthens the heart muscle. • Dang shen is used to build the blood (xue). Studies indicate that this root not only enhances absorption of nutrients but it also increases the number of red blood cells and the hemoglobin content." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book.)

"Non-heme iron is also found in these foods, as well as in dried fruit, molasses, leafy green vegetables, wine, and most iron supplements. Acidic foods (such as tomato sauce) cooked in an iron pan can leech iron into the food and thus also be a source of dietary iron. Vegetarians eat less iron than non-vegetarians, and the iron they eat is somewhat less absorbable. As a result, vegetarians are more likely to have reduced iron stores.2 Vegetarians can increase their iron intake by emphasizing iron-containing foods within their diet (see above), or in some cases by supplementing iron, if needed." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"It contains mostly plant tea, detergent cleansing agent, conditioning agents, film-forming agent, thickeners, fragrance, and preservatives. © molasses Purifier ($11.50 for 10 ounces) is sold as a swimmer's shampoo, and it can indeed remove chlorine and mineral deposits from the hair, thanks to the chelating agents, not the molasses. Unfortunately, this shampoo contains a rather strong detergent cleansing agent, and also contains sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and pentasodium pentetate, which are alkaline and can be drying to the hair and scalp." - Paula Begoun, Don't Go Shopping for Hair-Care Products Without Me (Get the book.)

"You can get more absorbable calcium out of 6-8 almonds or a teaspoon of molasses than you can get from one liter of cow's milk. • There is quantitatively more phosphorus in cow's milk than there is calcium. To metabolize that much phosphorus, the body requires extra amounts of calcium, which it extracts from the bones, teeth and muscles. This leads to calcium deficiency in these parts of the body. To compensate the sudden loss of calcium, the body tries to mobilize more of it. As mentioned before, the body has several methods to manufacture the much-needed mineral." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "There is also plenty of calcium in almonds, black molasses, sesame seeds, broccoli, Brazil nuts, millet, oats and citrus fruits. The calcium contained in these foods is readily absorbed by the human digestive system, provided the digestive system functions efficiently. Osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are basically metabolic disorders that are caused by severe congestion and an unbalanced diet/lifestyle, and almost never by insufficient calcium intake. Osteoporosis is virtually unknown in such places as Africa where people eat far fewer proteins than those living in developed countries." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"Ashwagandha is rich in iron and can be used to treat iron-deficient anemia when taken as a powder in milk mixed with molasses. Women, who are seven to ten times more likely then men to develop anemia, can benefit from this herb, and it also relieves some perimenopausal symptoms such as muscle pain and cloudy thinking. I regularly use this plant along with kudzu root (Pueraria lobata), cyperus root (Cyperus rotundifolia), and black cohosh root (Cimicifuga racemosa) for the chronic muscle pain of fibromyalgia." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book.) "Ashwagandha Ashwagandha is not particularly pleasant-tasting, but in India it is commonly cooked in milk with molasses as a sweet, nourishing beverage to relieve weakness, anemia, and insomnia. The powdered root is combined with equal parts ghee and honey and eaten by men to relieve impotence or low sperm count. Ashwagandha seeds are used in Sudan to coagulate milk for making cheese. Asian Ginseng Small amounts of Asian ginseng can be used in soups and in chicken, beef or pork dishes. Fresh ginseng roots that have been cleaned thoroughly and thinly sliced also can be candied." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book.)

"Sip warm water with a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses. This sweetener contains a number of minerals. Some people find it a tasty way to cope with constipation. Another old-fashioned home remedy for constipation is drinking lemon juice in a cup of hot water first thing in the morning. Afterward, rinse your mouth with plain water, to protect your teeth. 3. Simmer 2 tablespoons of flaxseed in 3 quarts of water for 15 minutes. Cool, strain, and add 2 ounces of the liquid to orange juice every day. An alternative is to use freshly ground flaxseed on cereal or other foods. 4. Chew sugar-free gum." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)
