Treacle is made from refined sugar, molasses and consists of a sticky, sweet dark texture. For the sake of our health, we must avoid sugar wherever possible. Study food labels, where any ingredient ending in '-ose' should in my opinion come with as big a health warning as we now quite rightly slap on a packet of cigarettes.
