Another concern re: Molasses

If you are a man or a postmenopausal woman you should be aware that molasses is high in iron which can build up in the body and is not easily eliminated when you get too much. When you take molasses with lemon you will absorb even more iron.

I'm not saying anything negative about molasses, just that it's something to be aware of. I happen to have low iron levels so it's been great for me. However, I would not give it to my husband, especially if he ate red meat or a lot of fruit.
