Yes, but not with molasses. Yes, I agree it can help with some weight loss. I remember when baby formula had a very little bit of Karo syrup added. Why, I do not know. I also take Fish oil (liquid) and it helps very much in lowering the fats. BUT I was directed to use it different, than what is on the label. It states 1 teas. I take 1 Tab. 1 hour before I eat or after, that is the way it really works.
