A member asked:
Can taking black strap molasses help with iron deficiencies?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
