I have found a great new website for health information.
The World's Healthiest Foods

After reading through the website I decided that I would tell
you about the health benefits of Blackstrap Molasses.  I use
this stuff everyday and I love it.  I do admit that it took some
getting used to….

Blackstrap molasses is just one type of molasses, the dark
liquid byproduct of the process of refining sugar cane into
table sugar. It is made from the third boiling of the sugar
syrup and is therefore the concentrated byproduct left over
after the sugar's sucrose has been crystallized.

Blackstrap molasses is a sweetener that is actually good for
you. Unlike refined white sugar and corn syrup, which are
stripped of virtually all nutrients except simple
carbohydrates, or artificial sweeteners like saccharine or
aspartame, which not only provide no useful nutrients but
have been shown to cause health problems in sensitive
individuals, blackstrap molasses is a healthful sweetener
that contains significant amounts of a variety of minerals
that promote your health.

Molasses is  an excellent source of calcium, iron, copper,
manganese, potassium and magnesium in a low fat, low
calorie form.
Look for blackstrap molasses that is unsulphured since not
only does it not contain this processing chemical to which
some people are sensitive, but it has a cleaner and more
clarified taste. Blackstrap molasses made from organic
sugar cane is also available in some markets.

Molasses should be stored in a tightly sealed container in
the refrigerator or a cool, dry place. Unopened containers
should keep for about one year, while opened containers
should keep for about six months.

I found this information at:Natures Choice

The greatest advantage of molasses is its ability to
conveniently supplement the diet of the busy
twenty-first-century citizen with easily assimilated natural
nutrients. Like most things natural, its effects are slow but
cumulative and, as such, it should be used regularly.

In his book about Molasses, the British nutritionist, Cyril
Scott, describes his own and other healer's successes in
treating anemia, rheumatism, arthritis, ulcers, colitis,
varicose veins and benign tumors. Scott testifies to the
success of molasses in reversing hair graying and even in
the external treatment of wounds. Gaylord Hauser, the
well-known nutritionist and author, particularly praises
molasses as a natural laxative. Because molasses is high in
iron, nutritionists often recommend it to pregnant and
lactating women.

Molasses is one of the two natural foods which contain a
special ingredient (wulzen factor) that has been shown to
prevent and cure wrist-stiffness, muscular dystrophy and
arthritis.

Ulcers, dermatitis, hair damage, eczema, psoriasis, angina
pectoris, and nervous conditions may also respond to
supplementing the diet with mineral-rich molasses.

Dosage: In general the recommended daily dosage is 1
tablespoon dissolved in warm water or taken as is.

Cautions: Molasses should not be thought of as an
all-purpose cure but as a useful weapon in the healing
armory. Like sugar, molasses can cause tooth decay, so
either clean your teeth or rinse your mouth thoroughly after
use, especially if you take it straight from a spoon.
