The sweet multi-vitamin in a tablespoon

Some of the best remedies don’t look very appealing at first glance. But, as you probably know, looks can be deceiving…

Take a certain black sludge-like substance that looks like it came out of the bottom of an oil barrel, but is in reality a potent health remedy with a long history of treating stomach ailments, arthritis, anemia and more.

The black sludge I’m referring to is blackstrap molasses. And there’s a very good reason it looks this way.

It’s the material left over after burning sugar cane stalks into regular molasses. But unlike, soy, for example, where you want to throw away what’s left over after fermenting, this is one case where what looks like “waste” is worth saving…

A spoonful of super nutrition

Blackstrap molasses has less sugar than regular molasses and its nutrient density rivals your average multi-vitamin. Find that hard to believe? Just take a look at this impressive list…

• Iron
• Calcium
• Copper
• Manganese
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• B vitamins
• Selenium
• Trace amounts of sodium, zinc, and phosphorus

Now, all types of molasses contain these nutrients in some way, shape or form, but blackstrap molasses contains them in significantly higher doses…

Just one tablespoonful provides you with 20 percent of your daily recommended intake of calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. Blackstrap molasses also contains more antioxidants than the lighter, sweeter types of molasses.

Needless to say, adding a daily dose of blackstrap molasses to your diet can have an amazing impact on your health. Its high iron content boosts energy and prevents anemia. Its copper content protects your heart and is believed by some to reverse gray hair (these are anecdotal reports, but copper deficiency is a cause of premature graying).

Its calcium content keeps your bones and teeth healthy and may even prevent osteoporosis. Its manganese content balances your hormones, which can help prevent fibroids and ease PMS symptoms. Its antioxidant content helps you maintain a healthy body weight. The list goes on and on…

Making use of blackstrap molasses mega vitamins

The best and easiest ways you can add blackstrap molasses to your diet are to take a tablespoon daily like a nutritional supplement, add a spoonful to your tea or coffee, or put some in your favorite smoothie recipe.

You can also cook with it — think baked beans.

But when you go out to buy a bottle of your own your blackstrap molasses, make sure you get unsulphured molasses made from organic sugar. Sulphured molasses is treated with the preservative sulphur dioxide, which has been linked to asthma, allergies and other health risks.
