Blackstrap Molasses & Diabetics


Some useful information from various web pages on Blackstrap Molasses

How Blackstrap Molasses consumption help prevent Diabetics:

First, Molasses needs to be understood in the right prospective. It is a waste by product from processing of sugar cane into table sugar, but a source of vital human nutrients which is lacking in most of our daily diets. Molasses provides a sweetener that is safe for most glucose or blood sugar level issues and has several naturally available minerals. It has been used to help remedy many unhealthy conditions. one such condition is described below:


It is well established that synthetically derived or composed mineral supplements are not as beneficial as whole food sources naturally nutrient dense. Iron supplements, for example, tend to create constipation and other digestive problems. Minerals are not only removed by processing foods, they tend to be lacking in depleted top soils used for raising crops. Sugarcane roots go very deep, up to 4 mts, into the mineral rich soil.

Many health sources claim that minerals and enzymes are even more important than vitamins for our health. For example, magnesium is essential to the metabolism and synthesis of almost all the other minerals and vitamins. Yet several health practitioners have gone on record saying that most of the population is lacking even sufficient magnesium levels. 

Harmful effects of Refined table sugar are very well known as it creates blood sugar and insulin instability while providing no nutrients. Actually, refined sugar pulls nutrients, especially minerals, out of the body if consumed enough.



Blackstrap molasses has a low glycemic index. This means the glucose and carbohydrates are metabolized slowly, demanding less insulin production and stabilizing blood sugar. The result is less lipids or fats occurring in the blood. And it actually means that your chances of becoming diabetic while satisfying your sweet tooth is virtually nil.
