"Molasses Blackstrap molasses is the dark liquid byproduct of the process of refining sugar cane into table sugar. Blackstrap molasses is a wonderful source of iron, as well as calcium, copper, potassium, and magnesium that add to its nutritious value. Rapadura Rapadura is an unrefined and unbleached whole cane sugar. It is not separated from the molasses stream during processing, and retains some nutrient value such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium. It can be used to replace both white and brown sugar." - M.D. David Brownstein, The Guide to Healthy Eating (Get the book.)

"One Web site innocently described blackstrap molasses as only having commercial value in the manufacture of cattle feed, precisely because it has the least amount of sugar of the three boils; the Web site, needless to say, received some strong e-mail corrections that they were decent enough to print. Blackstrap molasses is very dark and has a robust, somewhat bitter-tart flavor. It's used in a variety of baked goods, particularly meat and vegetable dishes, as a sweetener and coloring agent. It is also widely accepted as a "health food." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"It tastes gritty, almost sandy, with a molasses flavor. Ta holds up a mirror. My tongue and teeth have turned completely black. "That's our favorite fruit," she laughs, assuring me that the effects will wear off by morning time. "We don't know what it's called, but we love it." My blackened tongue wags good-bye to the original foodists. Jameson gives me a lift back to my hotel on his scooter. On the way, we pass a natural geyser that has erupted out of the sand. We pull over to look at the fountain. It is ringed by a lunar aureole, a sort of gray moon bow in the gloom." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "The treacleberry tastes like molasses. The lemonade berry is a Southwestern U.S. berry that Native Americans used to make pink lemonade. The moxieplum is a white berry with a subtle wintergreen flavor. The cloudberry is known as the bakeapple in Atlantic Canada. This name can be attributed to a visiting French botanist. Seeking to identify the fruit, he asked a local what the berry is called, saying, "la bale—qu 'ap-pelle?" The Newfoundlander thought the Frenchmen was telling him the berries' name, so it became known as the bakeapple. For NAFEXians, it all comes down to flavor." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Combine the tomato sauce, remaining Va cup water, the honey, molasses, onion, garlic cloves, vinegar, and soy sauce in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat until the honey is dissolved, about 10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the marinade. Line the tofu strips in a baking dish. Lightly broil the tofu strips in the oven, about 7 minutes. Remove the tofu from the oven and pour the sauce on top. Return the pan to the oven and broil for a few minutes until the tofu is browned. Serve on a bed of brown rice." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"It supplies about 9 mg of iron per tablespoon; dark unrefined molasses contains 1.5 mg of iron per tablespoon, and sugar, none. Single foods high in iron probably cannot surpass the amount found in liver and kidneys. However, I do not recommend these because it is very difficult to get organic products, and these organs accumulate many metabolic wastes. Apricots and eggs are also rarher high in iron. We often think of dark green leafy vegetables as high in iron, but iron is difficult to absorb in this form." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Ensure all molasses has dissolved. Cook Japanese noodles in boiling water until al dente—just tender. Rinse cooked noodles under very cold water (to chill). Drain and blend noodles evenly with sauce. Chill for 1 hour. Just before serving, fold in mint, seeds, sweet peppers, and green onions. Garnish with whole mint leaves and chopped green onion. Serve with Japanese plum wine or saki. BREAK IT DOWN . . . Calories: 180; Total fat: 4g; Saturated fat: .5g; Cholesterol: Omg; Sodium: 460mg; Total carbs: 32g; Fiber: 2g; Sugar: 2g; Protein: 6g.

"This remaining liquid is molasses, which is then repeatedly treated and cen-trifuged to extract more and more crystal until the final "blackstrap" form contains about 3 5 percent sucrose. Blackstrap molasses also contains iron, calcium, and B vitamins. Another variety of molasses is known as barbados. This milder, dark-brown syrup is extracted from the processes described earlier, resulting in a lighter-tasting product with a higher sucrose content. Sorghum molasses is produced by a similar process, but uses as raw material the cane from the sorghum plant." - Gary Null, Get Healthy Now with Gary Null: A Complete Guide to Prevention, Treatment and Healthy living (Get the book.)

"Blackstrap molasses is very dark and has a robust, somewhat bitter-tart flavor. It's used in a variety of baked goods, particularly meat and vegetable dishes, as a sweetener and coloring agent. It is also widely accepted as a "health food." It can be used in any number of recipes and is particularly suitable for gingersnaps, soy-based sauces, licorice, canned baked beans, and fermentation systems. BLACKSTRAP molasses IS LOW IN SUGAR AND HIGH IN NUTRIENTS One of the very reasons I like it so much is precisely because it has a low amount of sugar and a high amount of nutrients." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"Foods high in magnesium include kelp, wheat bran, wheat germ, almonds, cashews, molasses, brewer's yeast, buckwheat, Brazil nuts, dulse, filberts, peanuts, millet, whole wheat, pecans, walnuts, rye, tofu, beet greens, and coconut. Magnesium 500-750 mg per day Manganese. Manganese may be one of the most important trace nutrients related to osteoporosis. Manganese deficiency causes a reduction in the amount of calcium laid down in the bone and thereby an increased susceptibility to fracture." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"The only sweetener used are the molasses (which has lots of iron) and the natural sweetness of the birch and vanilla. Virgil's is gluten free, too. To make the root beer float, put two scoops of vanilla Soy Delicious ice cream in a parfait glass or tall drinking glass, then pour the Virgil's root beer all over the ice cream and serve with a straw. This blue moon treat is as simple as it gets but oh so satisfying." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Color is not a clue; whole oats are light in color, for instance, and refined flours can be darkened with molasses. Here, again, examine labels closely. Look for "100 percent whole." Products described as multigrain, cracked wheat, seven-grain, stone-ground, 100 percent wheat, enriched flour, or degerminated corn-meal are not whole grain. Pumpernickel is made with rye and wheat flours, but is seldom whole grain. It can also be a challenge to find whole-grain bread that contains no oil or high fructose corn syrup." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Take one tablespoon of crude black molasses with the evening meal.* 3. Take nutritional supplements (pancreatin) daily—total: 6 tablets three times a day. He recommends "Viokase" as a possible product. These should be taken on an empty stomach at 7 a.m., bedtime, and 3 a.m. • In Australia sugar fields are burned, leaving a tar on the stalks which is likely to go into the crude black molasses. This tar is probably carcinogenic. Also residues of pesticides are likely to find their way into this molasses. Because of these facts, I don't any longer recommend such molasses. DR. MAUD FERE Dr." - Maurice Finkel, Fresh hope with new cancer treatments: Over twenty natural methods for prevention, treatment, and control of cancer (Get the book.)

"Brown sugar is merely white sugar with molasses added. • Partially hydrogenated soybean oil is a trans fat associated with heart disease, breast and colon cancer, atherosclerosis and elevated cholesterol. It is even worse than saturated fat. As you can see, this "all-natural" bread will not help you on your road to health. Even if you didn't know the particular detriments of each ingredient, taking the time to read that it's main ingredients are white flour and sugar, and that the rest of the list is lengthy, would tell you to leave it on the shelf." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.) "Contains 2% or less of each of the following: rye meal, corn flour, molasses, rolled whole wheat, salt, dough conditioners (ammonium sulfate, sodium stearoyl lactylate), brown sugar, honey, vinegar, oatmeal, soy flour, mono and diglycerides, partially hydrogenated soybean oil. As we take a look at this list, we see the first two ingredients listed are white flour and sugar. It is junk food. • Enriched wheat flour is white flour. The bran and the germ portion of the whole wheat, which are rich in vitamins and minerals, have been refined out." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"Lighter molasses is less endowed with nutrients. CAUTION If you are under levodopa treatment for Parkinson's disease, blackstrap molasses is not recommended. Sorghum molasses This is a lighter molasses, made from sweet sorghum (a cereal grass in the millet family). The juice is extracted from sorghum stalks through crushing and is then boiled down into syrup. Unless the syrup is heated properly it may quickly ferment in the jar. Most manufacturers add enzymes to make it more stable. In any event, iron is its only significant nutrient, and the product is still about 65 percent sucrose." - Earl Mindell and Hester Mundis, Dr. Earl Mindell's Unsafe at Any Meal: How to Avoid Hidden Toxins in Your Food (Get the book.)

"It was related to the southern diet of fat-back, corn bread and molasses. When foods with niacin and its precursor, tryptophan, such as meats and dairy products, became more available as the standard of living rose, the deficiency was eliminated along with the disease. However, since the southern diet was previously devoid of these foods and since no clinical trials were ever conducted to determine the minimum amount of niacin required, government officials essentially hedged their bets and doubled what you probably need. Better safe than sorry." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Sorghum molasses This is a lighter molasses, made from sweet sorghum (a cereal grass in the millet family).

Most manufacturers add enzymes to make it more stable. In any event, iron is its only significant nutrient, and the product is still about 65 percent sucrose. Barbados molasses This is another light molasses, processed the same way as sorghum, only sugarcane is used instead of sorghum." - Earl Mindell and Hester Mundis, Dr. Earl Mindell's Unsafe at Any Meal: How to Avoid Hidden Toxins in Your Food (Get the book.)

"Sugars to eliminate include table sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, and other concentrated sweeteners. A moderate amount of the herb stevia may be used as a sweetener when needed. All sodas, diet and regular, should be strictly avoided. Other foods to avoid are those containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. This man-made oil is found in commercial peanut butter, margarine, and most baked goods. Most supermarket oils are refined (unless kept in a special "health food" section) and not so labeled. Make sure the oil you use is labeled "unrefined" or "expeller pressed." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Other useful food-form supplements could be: molasses, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, and raw almonds. Periodically, buy and use a probiotic such as acidophilus with bifidus. Work to remove and replace negative emotional causes of physical malfunctions. For chronic conditions that won't respond to anything you've tried, you must aggressively work on detoxifying acids from your body. This is an indication that your pH levels are still significantly out of balance.

"Picture this process like this: You drop two steel balls at precisely the same time, one in air and one in molasses. The ball that drops in air continues to accelerate as it falls. Oddly enough, the ball dropped in molasses is also accelerating, but at a much slower rate. With each passing moment, as both balls are dropping and accelerating, the ball dropped in air is greatly outdistancing the one dropped in molasses. The ball in molasses could be said to be losing ground. The analogy to aging is precise." - Thomas M. Newmark and Paul Schulick, BEYOND ASPIRIN Nature's Answer To Arthritis, Cancer & Alzheimer's Disease (Get the book.)

"Blackstrap molasses is a very good source of iron, potassium, calcium, and magnesium and an excellent source of manganese and copper. It also contains a small amount of the cancer-fighting mineral selenium. There are all sorts of claims for the health benefits of taking blackstrap molasses as a nutritional supplement to the tune of a couple of tablespoons a day. Some of the claims are probably far-fetched, but where there's that much smoke there's probably a fire somewhere." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)
