Hi Meena you can buy blackstrap molasses in most health food shops and deff in Holland and Barratt. I've been taking it for a few months and though I don't have gray hair so can't comment on that, my skin in lovely and smooth and I think my hair and nails are a little stronger. I mix a tablespoon of BSM with a tablespoon apple cidar vinegar and juice of half a lemon and I have had no colds all winter and my usual spring hayfever hasn't made an appearance yet.Replied by AC (West Midlands, England) on 04/25/2008
This is a reply to Meena from the UK who wrote on 4/23/3008 asking where to buy Molasses in the UK. I purchase my Black Strap Molasses from my local Holland and Barrett. It costs about 79P for a container that may be about 12oz (I can't remember). If you can't find it at your local one, ask them if they can order it or look on their website. Good luck!!!Replied by Laura (Wales, Uk) on 06/20/2012
Treacle and Molasses are the same thing.Replied by Michael (London, Uk) on 06/21/2012
Laura: no, treacle and molasses are NOT the same thing. Treacle has a higher sugar content and less minerals and vitamins - it is (usually) more refined. Some treacle is basically molasses with sugar added, but it is almost always refined, where molasses is pretty much unrefined (which is one reason why molasses has greater health benefits).
