I used to buy Black Strap Molasses for it's health benefits until I met someone in the Sugar Cane industry here in Australia. This particular person didn't really have much interest in health issues but he said that he wouldn't touch Black Strap Molasses with a barge pole.

Apparently they use absolutely toxic pesticides on the sugar cane and the industry tends to get away with it because the main product produced from the cane is sucrose (table sugar) that is so refined that it has no traces of pesticides or fungicides in the final stages. Black strap molasses however is unrefined and contains loads of these toxic chemicals. If you can find organic molasses (have never seen it in Australia) that would be your safest bet.

Talking about PMS - gosh!!! Many years ago I used to think the PMS was just an excuse that women used when they wanted to legitimise their crabbiness. Boy was I wrong - it is so real. I become an evil gremlin 2 weeks before my period , right through until about day 2 or 3 of my period. I feel like killing small animals (only joking!!).

Isn't it just amazing how tiny little chemical structures like hormones can totally derange your entire being. Not fair. I bet women prior to the industrial age never had to put with the mess that so many of us are in now. Humans just have this inexplicable desire to tamper with nature.
Go the tree hugging hippy people of our world !!!
