Molasses Diet Details and Health Advantages

They taste so good. Natures caramel. Get them more in the uk now. They used to be hard too find. Usually only around Ramadan I’m guessing because the Muslim people break the fast with them.

Iran is a major producer of this fruit,as are many countries in that region,so scepticism abounds.

When is the right time to take molasses in the morning before going to work
or before bedtime?

If I bake with it, or use it on the stove top does that change the iron or potassium? Does the nutritional value change. I feel guilty using honey or mayple to bake with because I kill the pre and probiotics

1 tablespoon of molasses 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in cold filtered water every morning is a awesome kick start!

The unfiltered blackstrap molasses I bought says 1 tbsp contains 110 mg of potassium, not 300.

Forget molasses sister, you need some IODINE yourself, your neck is showing symptoms of goitre, for real!!!

I cant seem to find this stuff under $20 Why is it so expensive?

i know this is mix with other food as a ingredients but can you drink this like a food supplement w mixing it with other food cause i saw a blog that this is good for gaining lean body mass

Thank you. Unsulphered Black Strap Molassis from Healthfoodstore is recommended. Also check out earthclinic on the net under remedies/molasses where there are 9 pages of excellent feedback and benefits listed to heal certain ailments by using UBSM

Hi dr berg is date or black strap molasses is ok with keto diet?

I like it because it isn’t super sweet. Awesome on pancakes and crepes.

I’m a fan of the doctor but I have learned this. After buying this and that I ended up with what I said I never wanted. A dresser full of pills and liquids. I couldn’t even keep track. Basically I’m not taking all this stuff that is featured in these videos. I take about 3 and the rest I will give away.

Actually dates do release their own crystalized sugar after some time. You know what I mean if you’ve eaten enough dates…

Which brand do you recommend that my be safer than other black strapo molasses brands?

Will adding blackstrap molasses in milk make you gain weight?

But what about the trace amounts of the chemicals that are used to refine the sugar?

I noticed he said a couple of times, not to take if trying to lose weight (not in those words, but that’s kind of how I took it). I am trying to lose weight, is this somehow going to interfere?

I always put a tablespoon of molasses on top of my oatmeal with a pat of butter… delicious

I use bakers yeast to ferment out sugar in such things as honey, black strap molasses, and for the sugar they add to natta de coco.
Its the only way I know to get the sugar out without changing the flavor to much.

Wow!!!! I have been using this molasses all my life!!! But I didn’t know it is so healthy! ��

I think you might be giving him to much. Have you made sure to actual get the doctor to take his iron level and ferric retention. Don’t just give it to your child without knowing that you are not getting him toxic. there is a reason that you need a prescription to take iron. It can be very toxic. I just started drinking this in tea. I think its much safer than taking actual pills. But, just be careful. My doctor monitor me and I am anemic. But, If he is not… may not need to supplement him everyday or anything. Be careful!

Date Sugar is like 15€ a kg on amazon, that would be some expensive cake.. even coconut sugar or xylit is cheaper, it’s literally the most expensive one I know. And I guess you would need even more than ‘real’ sugar because date sugar isn’t as sweet?

There is completely no sugar I repeat no sugar in proper blackstrap molasses which is a concentration of 42 g per tablespoon now you people can believe whatever you want there is no sugar in black strap molasses and you could take that to the bank

Is regular molasses just as good a black strap for reversing grey hair

I’m in my middle 70’s and love my silver hair. How do I take this and NOT have it darken my hair, or cause it to turn a reddish color.

If you are worried about the sugar just add to kefir or kaboocha and will get eaten up and your left with the goodiies

That Blackstrap Molasses is carried in tank cars on trains everyday from the United States Sugar Corporation in Clewiston, Florida and is picked up by Florida East Coast Railway at Ft. Pierce, Florida. The bees �� sure love those tanks lol! Never new it was so good for you! I’m gonna get me some of that goodness then!! Thanks Dr. Berg! Have a blessed day my friend!

People who are going to add sulphured molasses to the bread they’re about to bake will experience very smelly farts so you are forewarned to only use desulphured molasses. Especially if you want a denser bread and let your bread mix rise only once.
Brush your teeth immediately after you take a spoonful. Blackstrap molasses is healthy in small quantities, however, it will rot your teeth.

I’m obese but I refuse to give up honey. Can I add one Tablespoon to black coffee or plain Greek yogurt daily to get the benefits?

the sugar is the waste product..molasses is the real product

Thanks for the post. Funny humans, we refine the sugar to eat the poisonous white crystals and give the best part to the stock here in nz.!!!!! I learned this years ago while breeding horses. They used to come onto our property with dry lifeless coats,but after getting rid of parasites and feeding them on molasses and supplying mineral salt blocks we would send them home shining. Good enough for the stock good enough for me!!!! Oats too!!!!! Cheers from Pat NZ

Here in Okinawa, they keep it on the table in small little blocks” The older people swear by it”

omg wow factor!!!! i got this immediately!! i need it so much wow.. i just stumbled on this

organic molasses, pure maple syrup or honey from the royal hives at Buckingham are all just sugar to your body…insulin response thru the roof…artifical sweeteners also trigger an insulin response so its best to avoid them all.a few blueberries or a bit of 100% chocolate is what l use to satisfy a sweet tooth.

Thanks for making my life so much easier.
I really appreciate all the research you do on such an important matter. What should we be fueling our bodies with? Is there are a more important question. If there are, not many. Shalom.

I like the taste of this sugar made from Arenga nectar, has it been tested anywhere?
https://www.straitswholefoods.com/masarang-arenga-forest-sugar-1

Can you do a video about Blackstrap molasses on the menstrual cycle and anemia? Does it actually work as an iron supplement and can it make periods lighter, skin better, and hair better?

agave nectar is obviously better than table sugar it is unrefined and rich in antioxidants
table sugar has no nutrients and is stripped of vitamins and mineral agave necter has compounds that are beneficial to health and is low glycemic compared to
sugar sugar is bleached and highly refined from excessive processing Agave syrup is unrefined and keeps it self intact without all the bleaching and toxic chemicals they spray on the agave plant there is no comparison Agave syrup is way better than white sugar white sugar is gmo its like comparing fruit to sugar and saying fruit is bad because of sugar contents when fruit is rich in vitamins and minerals and antioxidants its just stupid all sugar is not the same some present positive health benefits to human health! im sorry your just wrong about agave not being better than sugar. im not against sugar or anything but even i can know by looking at the bottle that agave nectar must be better.

I like this channel so much value!!! THANKS A LOT… I also try to create content just like this, please check out and support me: ) show some love for beginners:D ( Keep In Mind)

Interesting since agave and brown rice syrup are often marketed as superior or “healthier” sweeteners, especially in the health food industry.

About 20 years ago I was very health conscious, but at the same time was hooked on lollies/candies and I used to read a lot of health articles and so on, and after reading about blackstrap molasses, it sounded like it would be really good for my health in general, so I bought some.

Within 15 minutes of taking my first drink of water with the molasses mixed in, I kid you not, I stopped craving lollies and sugar! It was incredible.

And it wasn’t a placebo affect or anything, because it never once occurred to me that it could or would have that effect, and I certainly hadn’t read anywhere that it could.

Was life-changing and from that moment I’ve never really craved or been hooked on lollies/candies again.

Unfortunately a lot of damage had been done by that point though and I now have been told that I should have all my teeth replaced and was quoted $48,000, with another $5K or so every 5 or so years after that! ��☹️

I’m a huge fan of nutritionfacts.org and have learned so much. But I think this is the worst video of any that Greger has done, both in form and content. I hope he would consider revisiting this topic.

Hey,
What about Beet Syrup? I have never used it, but it is the most local sweetener around and I was just wondering how good/bad beet syrup is compared to the other sweeteners. Any data on this?

U dont consider any vitamines or minerals or other elements!!?? Then this is empty info

I need to hear from you, can i make my bakery or bisuits with honey instead of usual sugar? Does honey become harmful with high temperatures??

Ideally, food should be made sweeter by adding fruit. The less processed, the better.

Thank you so much Dr. for you information and you time ������

Exactly what does nutrition have to do with these choices? Most of these (and I think the exception is date sugar) are not only totally worthless as far as nutrition goes, but worse, they create insulin resistance, and probably contribute to a number of other diseases. Dr. Greger has another video on sugar substitutes, where by he compares stevia, sucralose, etc, And contrary to the worthlessness of this video, it is very good.

Where would stevia or coconut sugar end up on this spectrum?

Wow this video was so exciting. I was on the edge of my seat! The suspense of not knowing which one was best was almost too much to handle!..

It’s so deceptive for them to call something ultra refined: “brown rice syrup” as if to connotate it’s healthier or wholer.

I tried molasses recently and I just found it horrible, it may be somewhat sweet but it has other nasty flavours going on that detract from any sweetness. I put a bit in my coffee, my coffee turned like tar black (not coffee black) and it didn’t taste like coffee anymore, maybe I used a bad brand, does anybody like this stuff and what do you recommend doing with it?

http://www.canadianliquidgold.com

Try this maple syrup, a healthier sugar alternative. It’s really good!

Well…it’s because of the ingredients and nutritional list doesn’t matter.

What I got from this is to go for minimally processed sweeteners.

Pulverized dry dates, peaches, raisings… Simple and brilliant

I am aware of your preference for dates and date sugar… and it makes total sense to me… However, I am not certain that honey is so lacking in beneficial effects… Therefore, I wish to submit the following “evidence” so that you can vet it and include anything that might be of value to me (us) out here in the world of conflicting information.  Thank you.

�� Traditional and Modern Uses of Natural Honey in Human Diseases: A Review

Abstract
Honey is a by-product of flower nectar and the upper aero-digestive tract of the honey bee, which is concentrated through a dehydration process inside the bee hive. Honey has a very complex chemical composition that varies depending on the botanical source. It has been used both as food and medicine since ancient times. Human use of honey is traced to some 8000 years ago as depicted by Stone Age paintings. In addition to important role of natural honey in the traditional medicine, during the past few decades, it was subjected to laboratory and clinical investigations by several research groups and it has found a place in modern medicine. Honey has been reported to have an inhibitory effect on around 60 species of bacteria, some species of fungi and viruses. Antioxidant capacity of honey is important in many disease conditions and is due to a wide range of compounds including phenolics, peptides, organic acids, enzymes, and Maillard reaction products. Honey has also been used in some gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, inflammatory and neoplastic states. This review covers the composition, physico-chemical properties and the most important uses of natural honey in human diseases.

�� Biological and therapeutic effects of honey produced by honey bees and stingless bees: a comparative review

Abstract
Honey is a natural product produced by both honey bees and stingless bees. Both types of honey contain unique and distinct types of phenolic and flavonoid compounds of variable biological and clinical importance. Honey is one of the most effective natural products used for wound healing. In this review, the traditional uses and clinical applications of both honey bee and stingless bee honey – such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antihyperlipidemic, and cardioprotective properties; the treatment of eye disorders, gastrointestinal tract diseases, neurological disorders, and fertility disorders and wound healing activity are described.

�� Neurological Effects of Honey: Current and Future Prospects

Abstract
Honey is the only insect-derived natural product with therapeutic, traditional, spiritual, nutritional, cosmetic, and industrial value. In addition to having excellent nutritional value, honey is a good source of physiologically active natural compounds, such as polyphenols. Unfortunately, there are very few current research projects investigating the nootropic and neuropharmacological effects of honey, and these are still in their early stages. Raw honey possesses nootropic effects, such as memory-enhancing effects, as well as neuropharmacological activities, such as anxiolytic, antinociceptive, anticonvulsant, and antidepressant activities. Research suggests that the polyphenol constituents of honey can quench biological reactive oxygen species and counter oxidative stress while restoring the cellular antioxidant defense system. Honey polyphenols are also directly involved in apoptotic activities while attenuating microglia-induced neuroinflammation. Honey polyphenols are useful in improving memory deficits and can act at the molecular level. Therefore, the ultimate biochemical impact of honey on specific neurodegenerative diseases, apoptosis, necrosis, neuroinflammation, synaptic plasticity, and behavior-modulating neural circuitry should be evaluated with appropriate mechanistic approaches using biochemical and molecular tools.

�� The Sweet Science of Honey

Our search of the medical literature turned up several studies over the past few years that have shown a range of health benefits from honey. Those included a number of studies linking honey consumption to reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as blood sugar levels and cholesterol, perhaps due to its antioxidant components.

�� 21 Science-Backed Health Benefits of Honey

Why Honey
 
If you’re not taking full advantage of the nutritional and medicinal properties of honey, it’s time to begin doing so because honey is a remarkable healing agent for all sorts of ailments.

People have been using honey for its antibacterial and antifungal properties since the ancient times.

In fact, the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians documented the healing properties of honey as early as Aristotle’s mention of it in 384 BC.

�� Medicinal Uses of Honey

Honey has a long medicinal history. The ancient Egyptians not only made offerings of honey to their gods, they also used it as an embalming fluid and a dressing for wounds. On that last point, at least, they were on to something.

Today, many people swarm to honey for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Holistic practitioners consider it one of nature’s best all-around remedies.

But outside of the laboratory, claims for honey’s healthfulness are unproven except in the area of wound care and, to a lesser extent, cough suppression.
Here’s the truth behind the claims about honey’s health benefits and an important warning.

�� Preventing and treating colds: The evidence and the anecdotes

”Natural” cold remedies
So now you’ve got a cold. What treatments are effective? If you want to go all-natural, then there is weak evidence showing that honey, just a tablespoon of plain old honey, can help with the cough associated with the common cold, especially in children.11,12,13,14 The physiologic mechanism for this is unclear, but it may explain why we get temporary relief from sugary cough drops. (Note: Never give honey to children under a year of age due to risk of botulism.)

�� Evidence-based medicine series: The many medical benefits of manuka honey

In my new ‘Evidence-based medicine series’ I take you through the scientific evidence for common, but not always mainstream, treatments and remedies.  First up is manuka honey.

The many medical benefits of manuka honey

If I ever have a sore throat I always reach for a spoonful of active manuka honey. I swear by it, as time and again it seems to heal my sore throat and, even better, I don’t go on to develop a nasty cold virus. As a scientist, I know there is a great deal of scientific evidence for the anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of active manuka honey from New Zealand and Australia.  Research has demonstrated a strong inhibitor effect of manuka honey against the influenza virus

I knew date sugar would come out on top because the Arabs have used dates for centuries to provide a lot of nutrition with little volume during their trek through the deserts

Is date syrup as good as date sugar? Don’t think my local shop sells date sugar, only date syrup.

As the title is the healthiest sweetener then I think that all health aspects ought to have been considered. Raw honey for example appears to have valuable nutrients.

what about the Glycemic Index? isn’t agave really low on that?

I like to have a glass of hot water with a tablespoon molasses in it, while drinking my coffee. Just don’t put too much water it makes the taste worse.

I just started using it and now I bought a gallon and we will see if it is as great as they say..

Can you take blackstrap molasses very day 1 teaspoon for period cramps???

What brand u took n how much did u buy it for? I searched on amazon n its pretty expensive

Don’t believe the hype,

Funny how you all act like you found out some thing the Natives Isrealites have used for Centuries & generations: Maple Syrup & Molasses… crooked Liars, the Globe is warming
