Stella from Goose Creek, S.c. writes: "Blackstrap Molasses My question is: how much is too much to take daily? I've read anywhere from 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon 3 times daily. I've been using it in chai tea with almond milk. Sometimes hot and other times cold. Is the 3 tablespoons too much? Is it okay to take is by itself right from the spoon? Thank you. "

GRAY HAIR

Hubert from Phoenix, Az., United States writes: "I am going to try Black Strap Molasses (BSM) in an effort to eliminate some of my grey hair, but I am a novice as far as BSM is concerned, so would one of the BSM Veterans wade in and respond to my comments and questions. There were a few people who stated in their post that they were taking BSM in hopes of minimizing/eliminating their grey hair; they went on to explain they had to discontinue their regimen due to the high sugar content of BSM, which had a negative impact on them. I'm wondering if they were taking the unsulphered BSM. Is there is a difference between the unsulphered and plain BSM? Also I was wondering would it be ok to use BSM in hot green tea with lemon? Normally I use honey as a sweetner, because I believe it is a healthy alternative to sugar. But I would like to start my BSM regimen with green tea and lemon; providing the beneficial effects of the BSM won't be diminished. "

Pragnya from Mumbai, India writes: "Hi. I purchased Plantation organic unsulfured blackstrap molasses from an organ ic store in Mumbai. I paid 1100 (approx $22) for one single bottle. Damn expensive but health is worth more. But I suspect its fake because the bottle had this sticker taping on the small lid on the bottle as opposed to the regular proper plastic sealing that u have to break open the first time. I had expected the sealing to be the way it is on water bottle, which is turned to break the 2 plastic binds for opening bottle However this bottle did not have that seal. My question to all my earthclinic mates- IN THE US OR UK , where this brand is sold, is it properly sealed where the seal needs to be turned/rotated slightly to open bottle or does it comes with a sticker on an open lid only? Pls do reply.awaiting "

Anyone else here feel that way and have a trick to get it down? I tried warming it in some water and taking it as a shot but it was intense nastiness. I also tried adding the warmed BSM to my ACV-BS mix but it's so hard for me to swallow. I really want the benefits of it and hope there is some trick. It's just a flavor I abhor. Thanks. "

Ginger from Toronto, Canada writes: "As a lot of people adding the black strap molasses to milk be it almond or soy, when milk is sweetened it has a very bad effect in the body and the health benefits are reduced milk sweetened increases the amount of mucus your body produces - hence, you wake with a lot of blowing of the nose in the morning with large amount of clear nasal discharge even throughout the day one will then have to drink at least 16oz of fresh carrot juice daily to cleanse the mucus from the body see the book counsels on diets and foods best regards, Ginger "

T from St. James, New York writes: "A cashier told me about a remedy of molasses you find in a health food store, mixed with beet juice, and taken every morning- that it will cure anything wrong with the body. It is what they used in her country (Islands). She added that the molasses could be taken with any fruit juice to substitute beet juice. Have not tried it yet. Fresh squeezed fruit juice is a live whole food (full nutrient density) and turns the body alkaline when ingested, where as in processed juices full of added sugars where the nutrient density-(phyto nutrients, probiotics, enzymes, caritinoids, etc) has been destroyed, turns the ph acidy. Your body needs these nutrients for cell reproduction and organ functions. Nutritional Genomics is in its infancy. Our government is just finding this out and promoting it through fruit and veggies matter.gov along with many other government agencies (partners) such as the Center for Disease Control- CDC. gov This will be an interesting remedy to try. Here is an interesting fact sheet about Iron from the Ohio State Universtiy Extension. ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/5000/5559.html PS will check back in a couple of months and post my remedy results. "

Its so important to listen to our bodies and make use of what nature provides for us to be our healthiest-inside and out!"
