Question 4

i am allergic to chocolate (hives).  i have wondered lately if i might be allergic to molasses as well.  do they have any ingredients that might explain this?

Accepted Answer

Chocolate allergy : Real allergy to pure cocoa is rare, there are several other ingredients in chocolate as nuts, that can explain your symptoms, also pure molasses (cane sugar) allergy is rare. Your  best bet for now is to avoid whatever is causing you symptoms, keep an antihistamine handy for accidental exposure, you may need an epinephrine pen if symptoms are severe, seek an allergist consultation  if feasible

Question 5

can taking black strap molasses help with iron deficiencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can -- BUT: Blackstrap molasses is high in iron, and can help you replenish your iron stores.  It's also a good source of other minerals like calcium, copper, and magnesium.  http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?dbid=118&tname=foodspice#healthbenefits however, it's also high in sugar -- so i wouldn't rely on this alone for iron.  If you're anemic, ask your doctor about a non-sugary iron supplement.

Question 8

does vinegar and molasses reduce stomach fat?

Accepted Answer

Fad diet: I am wary of any particular food or supplement touting the ability to reduce fat only in a particular area of the body.  If you eat a healthy diet of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean protein, drink water and avoid sweetened beverages, and get daily physical activity you will find you will become more fit overall.

Question 9

Black strap molasses: Probably no help for spot on face.  It would be a good idea to see your doctor to identify the facial spot and advise you on how to treat it.

Question 10

can honey and molasses cause delayed allergic reactions or are they more immediate,  within a few minutes?

Rare: Since bees collect mainly from flowering (not airborne pollen) plants, only rare instances of allergic reactions have been reported. I am not aware of any report of a delayed reaction . Molasses are from sugar and I am not aware of any report related to an allergic reaction to them.
