Re: I'm scared.

 Builders lime is highly caustic , DO NOT eat or drink it ; heed the warning on the back of the pack.

Totally true.  Caustic lime is called caustic lime for a reason.  Caustic lime is calcium oxide/hydroxide, which is very caustic to the tissues as are all hydroxides (OH).  Magnesium hydroxide for example is used as a laxative because it burns the intestinal wall.  Potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide are used as drain cleaners.  All of these hydroxides will burn the tissues.  The same applies to calcium hydroxide (lime), which is why there are warning labels on the bag to not contact the skin or eyes.

Another issue is that hydroxides will neutralize acids.  This includes stomach acid.  Stomach acid is EXTREMELY important, and neutralizing it is just asking for problems:

It has been argued that the caustic lime is being neutralized by the lemon juice.  The problem is that unless you have a pH meter how are you going to know when th hydroxide is all neutralized?  Not enough citric acid from the lemon juice and you still have a caustic hydroxide.  Too much citric acid and you now have an acidic drink, which defeats the purpose if you are going for an alkaline drink.  And all you are forming is calcium citrate, which is readily available without all the hassle.

A few other issues that have to be kept in mind is that this is a lot of calcium without balancing magnesium.  Problem is that calcium is a muscle contractor, while magnesium is a muscle relaxant.   Excess calcium without sufficient magnesium can lead to muscle cramping/spasms, high blood pressure, decreased circulation, migraines, increased risk of asthma attacks and constipation.  For example, calcium channel blockers are used to treat some of these conditions by preventing calcium from entering the nerve synapses to keep the blood vessels relaxed.  I give a detailed example here:

The other issue is with the black strap molasses, which is high in iron.  Iron feeds and promotes many pathogens and cancers and increases oxidative damage.  In excess it can lead to serious damage to the body, such as in seen in cases of hemochromotosis.  Men and non-menstruating women are at the greatest risk of iron overload.
