[QUOTE="nomorepies, post: 2243875, member: 519247"] I idly googled the glycemic index of dates and their effect on diabetes, expecting to see 'duh...of course you shouldn't be eating those heavenly slugs of sweetness'. Instead I found a lot of clickbaity 'health' blogs calling them the next best thing, and a paper in Nutrition Journal that concluded: I then read [URL='https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/medjool-dates.67964/']this[/URL] thread on here that spoke about the fructose being particularly bad for the liver as it gets converted to fat that sits on it, regardless of the GI. Just wondered if anyone here has done any testing of dates with their own BG, or has any other comments? My wife, who eats a whole-food plant based diet, snacks on medjool dates stuffed with peanut butter and says they're like mini-Snickers bars. [/QUOTE]
