I feel strongly there is real world/traditional wisdom in that.<br /><br />Thanks for the compliment, pairing me up with Sammy! That is a compliment in the highest order, I'd say. I've never tried molasses on pancakes though, I'll have to remedy that soon.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014986480158399207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941947337186357092.post-75967119958038145362012-06-21T22:14:23.110-07:002012-06-21T22:14:23.110-07:00I remember Sher saying to watch your chromium duri...I remember Sher saying to watch your chromium during pregnancy for this very reason. Has she been wrong yet?<br /><br />I think part of the increasing deficiency might actually stem from the fact that people have come to fear butter, red meat, and certainly organ meats (thanks for mentioning the importance of the source on those!). Not to mention that most people no longer prepare foods according to traditional methods (i.e. grains and nuts). Not to MENTION that when we have refined sugar, why go for unrefined, let alone molasses! (I'm impressed with Sammy lately, who's been insisting on molasses to top his pancakes... maybe he got that from Liza Lou... or maybe from you??)<br /><br />It seems that more often than not, when I read a list of foods containing a certain powerhouse nutrient, that butter, organ meats, and molasses are always to be found on the list.Noniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111771975489135772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941947337186357092.post-82223780079644552422012-06-21T13:55:16.824-07:002012-06-21T13:55:16.824-07:00Thanks for that list, Lark!
