Re: Ian--Sulfur + LID (WAS:Dried fruit on LID?)

I can't answer your question because I have never been able to find a

reference to human molasses having high iodine.

Molasses is often used as an animal feed, and a couple of preparations that I

found a while back were intended for dairy cattle, they were mainly molasses

with iodine and other stuff added.

Someone, somewhere, must have found a reference that sulfured molasses is

high in iodine, but I can't find it and it's certainly not in mainstream

literature.

The other side of the coin is to ask how much molasses is in the products

that you've looked at. If it's not a main ingredient and you're not eating

tons of the stuff then it is almost certainly not a problem.
