Yes high heat might destroy some nutrients but there is something called the Sun! Which you and use to dry the dates and beside science show it is hard for you to consume too much sugar from fruits. And also if u look into the science of the dates when you take date syrup or date sugar it releases a chemical that causes you to digest it slowly which make date sugar a complex carbohydrates which are good for u so please next time you have information check it before you post. Also I don’t care about what kind of ridiculous answer you give after this and I will continue to listen to sciencetists and doctors ,thank you very much Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555456370022879857.post-92054839093663879502012-08-15T23:15:51.640-06:002012-08-15T23:15:51.640-06:00Hi Ann, you may want to check out Dr. Caldwell Ess...Hi Ann, you may want to check out Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn for his studies on heart disease and animal products and animal secretions. Humans do not need to consume animal products in order to be healthy. No other animal on the planet needs to consume the lactation of another species, especially in adulthood (calcium, for example, can be found where cows should be getting this mineral -- from leafy greens). Plus, the majority of people are not even able to properly digest animal milks after early childhood since necessary enzymes are lost...Again, check out Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, as well as Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Klaper and Dr. Alan Goldhamer. Their researched base information is very educational.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555456370022879857.post-2927331295941978982012-03-29T12:58:31.545-06:002012-03-29T12:58:31.545-06:00Yes, I did state above that date sugar is the actu...Yes, I did state above that date sugar is the actual date itself: "What I found is that date sugar is simply dehydrated dates...". So, I do agree with you that date sugar is the actual date itself. However, I do not consider it a whole food because I consider whole foods to be in their original, unprocessed state. Date sugar has been processed into a sugar, and therefore is no longer a whole food. The processing can include things like high temperatures, which can destroy some enzymes and nutrients in the original whole food.<br /><br />Regarding your statement about butter and eggs, I guess we disagree on this. I wholeheartedly believe that pastured butter and pastured eggs contain so many beneficial nutrients, including healthy fats and cholesterol. I encourage all of my clients to eat these whole foods, and have never had anyone who has gained weight or increased cholesterol after including these into their regular diet. In fact, quite the opposite - these foods have been instrumental in the weight loss and health improvement of each of my clients.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment.

Because date sugar is just ground dates, it is technically a whole food, and as a whole food, contains actual nutrients that are good for you. Date sugar makes for a healthier alternative to artificially processed/manufactured sugar.<br />Now as for your statement about "real sugar," what you mean to say is natural, unprocessed, or minimally processed sugar, because processed sugar is just as real as its unprocessed derivative. The same thing goes for "...REAL ingredients..." Also, you should not be harping on sugar to health conscious people while recommending they use things like butter and eggs. Butter is high in fat and eggs are very high in cholesterol.<br />Lastly, you are right about one thing...that sugar in any form can have a negative impact on the body if consumed in large enough quantities. That being said, the body does need some sugar in order for certain vital processes to take place. So, in the end, one must watch their sugar intake and always remember that natural, unprocessed anything is best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
