my understanding is that cancer cells feed on iron. The drs that developed the Artemesinin formula (Artemesinin is attracted to iron and thus will be attracted to more cancer cells and kill them) have suggested giving iron so that ?then the artemesinin can kill more cells. It interacts somehow with the iron to cause the cells to die. So that may be why molasses is not in the diet.? Either that or the sugar. Maybe someone here can explain more of the science.
I read a post from someone recently that she was taking molasses for her iron. I began to take molasses then for my iron levels - trying to keep bloods healthy and doctor from having a reason to push surgery on me.? I was a bit taken back when I read the budwig diet did not permit molasses at all.? Molasses does appear to be very beneficial but I have stopped taking it.
