Molasses?

[清貴杉山]

Hey,i was thinking on getting molasses a shot,i looked up the micro content and its pretty solid on paper,lots of manganese,magnesium,copper,calcium,potassium ,etc,apparently low iron?...its not such a concern to me since i drink 3 to 4 strong cups of coffee a day.Anyone know its safety?i heard its full of acrylamides and glycation products because of the process.Thanks in advance
Also,i need some good energy/nutrient dense source of food,molasses seems to be both and pretty cheap and easy to eat or add

I bought some thinking it was a good source of magnesium and copper, but threw it away when I saw how high in iron it is in just one tablespoon!

!! Yes, I used it years ago but quit it way before finding Peat. He, however, gives the best reasons and sets you on a path with basic information to evaluate so many items as you trudge along.

He sure does! In weighing molasses, I just don't feel the risk is worth the reward when liver gives far far more of those same benefits.

I laughed out loud reading what you just said! Let me know how the plants like it, and maybe I'll buy a jar ?

I have been using good pectin free jams for a variety of dishes, and recently a lot of marmalade, since Ray Peat calls marmalade a "super drug". I am gonna sweeten some tea with marmalade today and see how that tastes!

“When I get sour oranges I make marmalade from the peels, if they are organic. Shred, soak, cook slowly simmering in water for about an hour before adding sugar, and letting that simmer without boiling until it thickens a little. When it’s cool it thickens more. The peels are rich in antiinflammatory chemicals, more than the juice, and the marmalade is a good way to get sugar with the cottage cheese or parmesan.“ -Ray Peat

Oh I can't wait to hear what you think when you make it! It tasted like a crustless pizza!

Besides that, Ray pointed out iron in it I believe. I was just impressed with his findings. .. as usual.

Molasses have enormous amount of magnesium and potassium, also plenty of calcium and B6. It also ranks pretty high in antioxodants. Whats not to love? 100 times better than white sugar, which has zero anything

If you have a diet low in iron anyway, I'd agree it's well worth experimenting with.
