How is black molasses good for you?

Hello. I'm new here so I hope I'm posting this in the right place...

I've read a lot about unsulfered blackstrap molasses and how it's good for you, but I'm really confused and was hoping someone could explain to me how something that is the byproduct of sugarcane and that is boiled three times is good for you and manages to retain its nutrients?

Doesn't processing and exposing something to heat over and over automatically destroy the nutrients? I've read so much about eating wholefoods that are raw or processed as little as possible because that's where all the nutrients are, and now I find that this BSM, which is boiled three times, has a ton of nutritional value. And it's not even in its natural form... it's a result of processing. So how on earth is it actually good for us? I've read so many stories about how it's cured a lot of things for people and I'm just sort of confused and would really love an explanation.

Thanks so much! Tweet
