i hope this wasn't sponsored by the date farmers of israel
I'm sharing this vid with everyone at work who makes fun of me for eating so much fruit and dates. They can't comprehend the 1/2 gallon jug of green smoothie and tub of dates.
'' A house where there are no dates , are poor its inhabitants'' : Prophet Muhammad
WARNING: Most commercial dates are treated either by conservants or radiation.
Of course dates are good for you it's packed with fiber and vitamins!!!! Same goes for fig's. If you like dates try the Chinese red dates very healthful. Google it.
I always avoided dates. Who would've known
I fucked on my first date
ThAnkYou for this!!
Yeah they might have a higher sugar level than some of the others mentioned, but fruit loops are almost 100% GMO! Stuffed with all that cancerous crap? I think id rather have something natural with high sugar levels than something gmo with a lower sugar count.
Love to hear that, just ordered 5 kilograms of dates 😛
I can find medjools all over the place but not hallawis.
Yay I love dates!

of course the issue with a study like this is it doesn't reveal what the dates replaced in the diet of the subjects. If they were eating a fair helping of simple sugars before from biscuits (cookies), cake, sweet breads, etc, then no doubt dates would show an improvement. However, if they replaced complex carbs, salad and vegetables with dates, subjects would have had a decrease in nutrient intake. As always, a varied diet is best. And this would be revealed if you threw a lot of dates into a diabetic's diet, in place of fibrous carbs.
Why doesn't fruit sugar cause your blood sugar or weight to go up? Where as processed sugars do?
The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) just to eat dates. Sometime's for months in a row, without anything else. And in islamic scolars books, they're discribed as 1 of the best foofds. Only 1 tihng, they can cause heat in your body, so if u eat them mix it with fruits that cool the body. Like water melon. cucumber etc
This is great! I've been worried about the high calory density of dates being a problem. Now I'm glad to know I can relax and continue to chomp on them freely 🙂
I get very nervous on dates. Sometimes I breakout in hives. It must be my social anxiety and poor self esteem. Blind dates are better. If the date is not going well, I sneek out -ahem-while they're not looking.
I had dates for the first time yesterday. I cant belive these are actually healthy. I felt I couldnt stop eating them, it was just like candy. Nice to see they are good for me, now I can enjoy these 😀
As much as I like to accept this, I can't help being sceptical. How do we know that these studies weren't backed by advertisers or the Date industry? My Diabetes doctor said that Date sugar is not good for people with Diabetes. But I don't trust him either. Anyone who tried it and succeeded?
I don't know man… Could you please provide us with a link on that study you mentioned in your video? An "ideal" food containing 80% sugar just doesn't sound/seem right…
I often think we don't understand food nearly as well as we like to think we do. We talk about this nutrient being bad, that nutrient being good, and we keep bumping into contradictory evidence and foods that go against expectations in their effects on the body. We really just don't know and shouldn't be so absolute about what's good and what's bad. Science keeps trying to reduce diet to something simple as 1+1, and increasingly my intuition tells me you can't. Science itself is actually showing this too.
how about deglet noor dates? those are the only ones i can seem to find.
Dates are delicious … …
Marks and Spencer's does a box of Medjool dates for about €8 and they are literally the tastiest thing I have ever eaten.
A person can survive quite well on just dates and clean water and be in ideal health. Next Ramadaan I plan to eat them exclusively for the whole month just to see how great I feel. We've known how medicinal and beneficial they are for millennia.
Hmm..intresting. For once the better one is actually cheaper.
Middle eastern were eating dates for thousands of years and its the only tree that grows in the desserts of Arabia and sole primary food for people there..and it is considered to be a blessed tree by Allah ( God )
we've been eating dates for many generations they are the Holy fruit . seriously they are
no wonder it is mentioned in the quran and prophet Mohammed (pbuh)advised us to eat it as a staple food
the most healthiest foods on the planet are easily recognized by Muslims
in Algeria we have lots of dates(deglet nour)
I just made vegan brownies with dates!
Date syrup healthy?
Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) favorite food.
Not if you're diabetic
Why is hallawi better though???
just don't mix dates with fats.
dates filled with peanut butter, bliss.
Never seen a hallawi date before.
ok so its healthy for our body but must be really bad for our teeth with this high sugar content
long term ? : poor teeth > bad digestion > poor health ?
Dr. Greger, I need your help. Dates in the UK make my daughter and I ill. They make me wheeze with Asthma, and give Melody chest pains. I put this down to the preservative chemical Sulfur Dioxide. We need a Dr. Michael Greger SHOP! One that sells Frozen Dates with no chemicals: http://butterflylullaby.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/frozen-dates-wanted-no-sulfur-dioxide.html Even organic dates make me ill. It is a real shame, because I purchased your How not to Die cookbook. And it has some great recipes using dates. Melody and I loved your cinnamon cookies. But the chemical dates have let us down!
good! I love dates! eat them every day!
I love medjool dates only so I hope that’s ok even though it says hallawi is healthier.
Wait, ✋ why are they better?!? Don't leave me hanging. All the stores have medjool almost exclusively. Would you do a video on prunes and bone health?
Dates are delicious and nutritious.
"Yea!!"
The lack of puns in the comment section astonishes me
Which are better , the saudi arabia dates (sukari, khalas, seqae, etc) or the algerian deglet noor ones ?
This video is old… any new research on thus? This seems too good to be true
Thank goodness I can eat something that makes me happy. 🙂
