It's a known laxative, maybe due to both gut irritation as well as the high magnesium content.Hello everyone
I consumed a total of 8 fl Oz of molasses throughout the day, and got watery stools. Is there an adaptation period, or is this what will always occur from such amount?
To see how well I do with it, and it has some decent minerals.
Edit: It's blackstrap molasses not regular molasses.
I haven't really looked into it, but the melanoidins produced by the browning reactions (the effects of heating the molasses to high temperatures) could absorb and cause glycation and other toxic effects in the intestine and systemically.@DaveFoster
How is it a gut irritant?
That helps. Thank you.I haven't really looked into it, but the melanoidins produced by the browning reactions (the effects of heating the molasses to high temperatures) could absorb and cause glycation and other toxic effects in the intestine and systemically.
"Harmful effects of dietary melanoidins have been investigated in the context of their ability to promote glycation reactions in vivo, which are involved in the progression of several diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular complications, and Alzheimer's disease. Toxicological studies were performed showing that melanoidin structures can not be classified as potent dietary mutagens or genotoxins. Thus, substantial knowledge on the health effects of melanoidins has been gained within COST Action 919. But still, further studies are needed to distinguish between chemically identified harmful and health-beneficial melanoidins."

8oz is a lot the recommended is like 2 tablespoons.Hello everyone
