Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 Hmm...I don't understand why the article about sugars said that molasses blackstrap was nutritionally useless. For such a small amount, one tablespoon, it contains quite a lot of nutrition IMO: 43 mg of magnesium, 172 mg Calcium, and 498 mg of potassium... so if you plop a tablespoon of it in your glass of milk or bowl of yogurt with wheat germ on top, it's not *that* bad.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 Hi Mindy, The potassium is less than 15% of your daily requirements. The magnesium is maybe 5%. Calcium is negligable. For that you get a lot of sucrose.
