Dates are a great whole-food sweetener. You can get the syrup recipe from the How Not to Die Cookbook for free here: https://nutritionfacts.org/recipe/date-syrup. And a date glaze: https://nutritionfacts.org/recipe/balsamic-date-glaze. -NF Team
I heard somewhere that you should not eat more than 2 dates a day.. But here, it sounds like it is ok to eat more then 2..?? My problem is I like it so much that if there is no restriction, I can easily eat 10 a day then getting too much sugar I think..
I haven't been able to find a date for 3 years.
Eat kimchi, saurkraut, kefir, miso, umeboshi. For gut micros. They dont contain sugar or a million carbs .
Well, I've tried to date, but I don't seem to be interesting to women, so I'm single. Does this mean I'll get colon cancer?
By the third date, I am feeling frisky. 😉
Haha brown smoothie… gross!!! 😅
Dates good sugar bad, nonsense, just don't have sugar on it's in. Mixed with plant foods, smoothies etc
Thank you for some more great information.
Can over-consumption cause high potassium serum levels?
Omg those poor rats ☹️
Unnecessary cruelty to rats. They should test it on human volunteers within ethical limits or just abandon research.
Dates make my blood sugar raise. what do you think about that? thanks for sharing your video. I keep an open mind about them, that is why i am asking you this question.
Those poor rats…. 2 full turns to see if nuts help twisted nuts
As medjool dates are almost 70 cal each that’s 490 cal for 7 dates. Does it work for smaller, lower cal. dates?
I noticed they used ajwa dates in the study. Would other varieties of dates such as the common medjool, have the same affect/results?
Why are we doing such horrible things to animals when there plenty of pedophiles in prison to twist testicles on
Nature's candy. :o)
Win win for me. There's no pleasure as sweet as a big juicy Medjool date covered in peanut butter 😄😜
Dates sure are good,but unfortunately i feel bad in my colon when i eat em
