About 12 years ago, in an attempt to limit my grey hairs or even reverse them, I experimented with Blackstrap Molasses and Apple Cider Vinegar as I'd read it somewhere that this would do the job.
I did not keep this up long enough to find out if it would actually reverse my greying hair but there was one unexpected, but pleasant, surprise. I had for many years been suffering with hard skin on the heel of my foot that would regularly split and cause a lot of pain - but it disappeared completely and I'm not really sure why, but I think it was something to do with the high levels of Magnesium, Potasium and even Calcium in the Blackstrap Molasses.
I'm still struggling with the hard skin on my heel (only the right foot, never the left) and I'm considering giving it another trial. Only thing is, Backstrap is high in iron and I've been getting my iron levels down for the last 2 years with blood donation and trying to eat less red meat and drinking coffee when I do eat it. Along with other dietary effects, less PUFA, less starch etc, I feel pretty good right now.
I do however wonder if the high levels of Mag and Calcium would actually block some of the Iron uptake, especially if I consumed it with coffee. Anyone want to throw in their two bobs worth (ten cents worth to you yanks)?
