1. Staining of the teeth

Blackstrap molasses has been known to cause staining of the teeth.

For this reason, it should not be consumed for long periods of time.

NaHaZo Hack: One way to consume blackstrap molasses to your heart’s desire without worrying about it staining your teeth is to use a straw.

Rather drink the mixture via a straw, rather than directly. This will avoid the liquid swirling around your mouth and staining your teeth.

Should you be watching your calorie intake or be diabetic, it is crucial that you limit your intake of blackstrap molasses.

Even though it is lower in sugar than other sweeteners, it can still raise your blood sugar levels, so it is advisable to use it with caution. For this reason, diabetics and people watching their diet will need to take it in small amounts.
