Dates are a great whole-food sweetener. You can get the syrup recipe from the How Not to Die Cookbook for free here: nutritionfacts.org/recipe/date-syrup. And a date glaze: nutritionfacts.org/recipe/balsamic-date-glaze. -NF Team
I love that we mention topics like colon cancer and 3 weeks or 4 weeks later, you put up a video related to colon cancer. You are the most responsive internet doctor I have seen and I have been looking at so many doctors. I love that about you so much.
Thank you. Now I will use the Date Syrup and Stevia drops 65/35 ratio respectively
What are Dr. Greger's favorite dates?
Dates are refined food. There is no way any "benefits" of dates can outweigh all the outcomes of so much fructose. And by the way how much water they spend to produce dates in the most arid regions of the planet? Vegans really don't care.
You are the Man!!!
In my culture there is a saying: "a house without dates has no food."
7 dates on the empty stomach is also Sunna
I have them every day in a smoothie, they're simply a miraculous, versatile whole food sweetener!
Dr. Des Harrington me too.
@@sidilicious11 Nice!
I blend up my oatmeal shake every morning and have dates on top of it :)
@@Food5Thought They're the best!
seeds too?
now i dont feel bad stuffing my face with these all the time!
They are a fine snack or if you need a lot of calories. I always overeat them.
Recently I ran out of a rich organic brown sugar that I feed my water kefir and needed to go to the store, but wouldn't make it for a day. So, I fed them a date because I heard that rich dried fruit is good for them. My water kefir (which I have been drinking daily for almost 4 years for anxiety and depression -- for which I used to suffer chronically, and have been completely free of since without medication) was getting a little too yeast cultured and I was starting to get scared that my probiotic friends might be dying. After rinsing them, adding in a dried date (without the seed), the water was fizzing within a few hours. The strains of bacteria (my probiotics) loved it! They actually started populating again within a few days and the sour smell started to go away. I figure, if they love it this much, then the ones that make it to my colon are going to also. And then I saw this video just now. I know why now. Happy health to all! #pharmfreefor4years #foodismedicine
I have been dating dates for years now, and just celebrated our 5 year anniversary! My sweet tooth thanks these little dried beauties everyday! Thanks Doc for the great videos you always put out!
@Cool Breeze so wrong...along with those lucky dates, I also date this vegan and I'm quite sane...although I am crazy for her!
@@timothymaurer6720 Same!!!
There sure are a lot of kooks on this channel
@@BelleOmbreGreyYou have 48 comments on this channel. Welcome to the kook club, girl.
I literally just ate a date, picked up my phone and this video popped up!!!
Pooped up?
@@mangoauthority2897 Eyyyyyyy!!! Haha, I missed a trick there, thank you for being the pun hero I didn't know I needed!!!
I obviously need to eat dates more often!
Poor little rats 💔🐁
I agree! To torture a sentient being to find out if dates are good or you...really?
A Bowl of Oatmeal with Dates on top is great for the Morning.
I know what I have for breakfast tomorrow :) so looking forward to it!
Sounds really good
Just bought a box of dates , I have no regrets.
I LOVE DATES!!!❤️❤️❤️
Same. Let’s go on one.
Daltira I think that’s the best pickup line I’ve ever heard.
Dang it! He beat me too it! Lol
moviedude22 😂😂😂
Love all your videos, im a student dietitian and learning so much from you
When watching his videos, make sure you are skeptical about how glorious antioxidants and superfoods really are. If they were as glorious as he presents them, we,d be living forever with no cancer and that does not seem to be the case. He is nuts about nuts and beans beyond what makes sense because he is fooled by industry funded studies or questionable conclusions. Nevertheless, the videos are tantalizing.
That’s a terrifying thought
I read the journals and science before I make up my mind. Dr. Gregor just helps me find it :)
@@theartificialsociety3373 Cancer and many other illnesses are the result of other factors such as stress, regret, hate, and other bad thoughts and feelings that we have throughout our lives. Yeah, these foods will definitely help you if you have a healthy mind as well.
Raluca C your reasoning is not right. There are various terms for your way of thinking like confirmation bias, survival bias, reverse causation. They used to say your ulcer was due to stress. Well that was a load of rubbish as we now know the real cause of ulcers is bacteria or aspirin/NSAIDS. How do you know the disease caused the stress not the stress causing the disease. If some one has stress, they can also make bad decisions which leads to a cascade of troubles.
Those poor rats!!! 😳
I’ve basically eaten a pound of dates every day for the past four years and my life has only gotten better.
Good video but feel bad for the rats :(
How are these researches allowed to inflict such suffering on living,sentient beings like rats?😑
Seriously
Rats will eat you alive if they're hungry enough.
Not that I am a fan of rats, but really???? Agreed
If you’re ever in New York, you need not concern yourself with a place to stay or food to eat I am a plant-based vegan for over 30 years and would be delighted to prepare food for you and find you a lovely home to stay in with one of my friends. I so appreciate all the work you do and your motivation for doing it, it is so beautiful and I am sure your grandma is delighted 😃
Sounds like the basis for a Stephen King story. Dr. G. take a hotel. There's something off about this one. A little too "eager"
I LOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvEeeeeeeEEEEEEE
DATES.
Date me.
Date me! (As in, serve me some dates!)
I have many. Blend 4 in to 2 cups distilled water till frothy. Excellent preworkout drink.
I sometimes have a half glass of grape juice. I wonder if fructose is processed through the liver fast enough to make a difference. It may provide benefits in recovery though.
I like eating dates with apple slices & some nuts. It's almost like a caramel apple!
I love dates! I always put them in my smoothies and make raw, vegan deserts with them 🙂
I screamed out loud when I heard what they did to those poor rats and called my husband over. Those researchers should have someone twist THEIR left testicles until the blood is cut off to see how they like it. I then read the chilling words in the study: “All rats were sacrificed 4h after detorsion.” What kind of monsters are these researchers? How do you go home to your family after that kind of day’s work? I don’t want to benefit from any data gathered this way.
Julie Mundt I also screamed out loud!!!
True. We don't need that kind of research, which also turned out to be completely useless. These are people who just will do anything to have a job.
I'm 100% with you on that
@Citizenthirteen slaughter is laughter. Serpent's laughter. Evil is live spelt backwards. Evil reptilian souled elites find it all very amusing.
I love your sense of humour, your videos always make me laugh out loud or giggle. Long may you continue !
No pun intended... uh huh... 😏
What did rats ever do to us? :((
the bubonic plague but yeah i get your point
They're RATS!! There's a reason they're called that
I'll be snacking on some dates later on!
Nice! What about prunes vs. dates, when it comes to colon health?
Ugh love them too! They make you go as well lol. Tasty.
Do the dates have to be dried or can they be fresh? I've had some fresh ones from specialty stores and they are good and less sweet. and, If the dates are freeze-dried do they still possess these benefits? Thanks to anyone who may know these answers !
😮
Thank you for checking all the research and making and sharing videos.
Dates are the best food for high carb vegans!
Lichtblick honey has more carbs.
Daltira honey is not vegan. They cut off the queen’s wings, lock her up, steal/take the honey and in most cases a lot of bees are killed in the harvesting process.
J K do you have epilepsy? If not stop doing keto.
Dr Klapper said you get benefits from getting out of ketosis when eating healthy foods. So you could do a two day fast every 20 days or something similar.
Keto aside. . . they spike INSULIN with EVERYONE
@@landerhendrickx3522 Keto (vegan) can be useful short term to lose weight. People who are not physically active and are trying to lose weight could benefit to limit their starchy carbs (rice, pasta) and have less caloricly dense fruit like dates or prunes because lets face it, we don't just eat a handful we eat the whole bag, which makes it way too easy to get into a caloric surplus. One cup (200g) of uncooked jasmine rice is about 600 calories and brown is 700 calories, so if you're goal is weightloss via keto, maybe swap out the rice for something like a can of black beans (200 calories). You've immediately saved yourself 400 or 500 calories for the day by swapping out starchy carbs for less caloricly dense but still healthy food, great for keto dieters. However it you are an otherwise active person who excercises a lot, obviously you won't need to limit your carbs.
I ate dates in the weeks prior to giving birth to my daughter. I had a great labor and delivery. Everyone in my group of expecting moms who ate dates had easy labors. Though one gave birth in the car on the way to the hospital because she didn't realize she was in labor until she was very close to giving birth, in "transition."
I Didnt eat dates . Easy labours. Anecdotal. Wheres evidence?
Thank you thank you, I eat dates every single day
Thanks for sharing your brain with us!
How sick must you be to specifically find a job to torture and maime animals legally.
You have to be very highly educated and have dedicated your life to research to end human suffering. But if you overlook that, they're probably completely villainous
Also one of the highest GI foods
Love dates 😍 could eat them like popcorn 😆
What about diabetics like me? Should we eat dates in spite of the high sugar?
Thank you for some more great information.
I love that you are plant based. I am too. So my question is why are test still experimented on live animals? So, it's not ok to eat the animals, but it's ok to test on them? Doesn't that seem a bit hypocritical? I'm not condemning, I'm asking straight out. It seems to me if we truly want to know the facts of various food on our human health, then shouldn't it be humans who we test on? And before anyone goes off on me about human rights, hear me out. For example, if someone has MS, for example, then wouldn't it make more sense to get that persons, DNA, Blood test, and study that? Aren't the physiologies of dogs, cats, rats, different from human beings? So why test on them?
Dr gregger never support animals testing. He is naming the studies only
I have tried to limit dates because they are so high in sugar. Now I am not going to worry about that and eat more dates!
You could also try worrying less. Have you seen the research on the deleterious effects of worry
What about date syrup?
Who needs candy when we have dates.
I eat 3 dates a day and add 10 dates to my homemade nut and seed milks which I make every other day- super creamy - delectable 😋😋😋
I'd be more interested in seeing what they did to weight gain. I made some date bars and ate them like an addict until they were gone. For me, if I want to control my weight, I have to stay away from anything that tastes sweet other than berries, like blueberries. I them with my oatmeal and don't eat again until lunch.
fire7side same here, dates don’t make me gain but they inhibit weight loss. After all they’re 1200cal per pound. Eating grapes is better
@@ellen3093 Yeah. Blueberries have a higher glycemic index than dates, but when you compare glycemic load, which takes into account portion size, blueberries score a 5 and dates score an 18, one of the highest fruits. You can't fool mother nature. Those things are sweet and I would be eating them all day. It's like artificial sweeteners for me. I thought I could eat that natural one, forget the name, so I put it on my oatmeal for a while and found I was much hungrier during the day and gained a lot of weight. If I taste something too sweet, it makes me hungry.
I made a huge pan of date bars, double batch, and they were gone within a day, along with my normal meals.
fire7side yeah, i think you’re very right. Berries for the win! Blueberries and lingonberries are soo calorie dilute and i just put them in my oatmeal, they don’t make me binge or anything. Red grapes id recommend as well, perfect for getting the sweetness without the caloric load.
I noticed they used ajwa dates in the study. Would other varieties of dates such as the common medjool, have the same affect/results?
I used to eat them by pound after buying them on road side when I was a kid. I burned them off easily as it was super hot. The no sugar freaks scared the heck out of me. Then I realized date sugar is combined with fiber so it can’t all go in & I am right. That’s why dates are ok in moderation like 6-7 a day equal to less than 100 calories. You can sub it for all your sweetener purposes.
stop animal testing, if you want to eat dates, do not abuse rats.
I love this man.
I've always liked fresh dates!
Unnecessary cruelty to rats. They should test it on human volunteers within ethical limits or just abandon research.
Love those dates! Great recipes using dates in Dr. Greger's cookbook.
You are a Doctor Genius!
What about the high oxalate. content of dates? Also it would be great if you could talk about dates and their effect on nephron health.
Only matters if you have gut issues.
Really? So they can't cause kidney stones?
Watch his videos on those topics.
There aren't any. He has videos saying we should avoid high oxalate vegetables so what makes dates different because they are at least just as high in oxalates?
He didn't say avoid, he said limit.

I just love you.
The only reason I dont est dates and no dried fruits in general (except low sugar ones like dried berries lr apricots or so occassionally) is because of the fact that they are so sticky and sugary, that they will increase my chance for plaque/caries in my teeth. Thats one of my biggest fears, so I avoid foods that expose my teeth to sugar, especially sticky chewy highly concentrated sugar like dried fruits
Then, use green tea and amla mouthwash mixture. It KILLS the plaque bacteria. There is a video on this here.
Rinse mouth after easy.
So I'm sorry. What's the takeaway? The last bit sounded a bit unsure. Dates are good good for you because... Or dates are considered to be good because of some decent studies that didn't quite bring it across the line? Is there a list of assertions that we can take to the bank?
We do know dates fight cancer in vitro, meaning in a lab our in a test tube or outside of an organism.
The research needed is not there yet. So dates may or may not help. It really depends weather we absorb those compounds into our bloodstream, but even if we do not, they do pass our gut and colon (unless they are digested through the process), so dates should help fight those cancers.
Just as we eat broccoli (or other cruciferous vegetables) and absorb sulforaphane (unless we have not allowed the enzyme to do it's job, which is to turn glucoraphanin into sulforaphane, so for example if we destroy the enzyme with heat, there won't be much sulforaphane. Which is why a solution is to either cut the veggies up and allow the enzyme to do it's job which takes around 40 min and then cook. Or eat raw. Or cook and then blend a separate raw portion and add it in the after cooled down cooked version, so you add the enzyme back in into a cooled down cooked version of the cruciferous veg dish. Or simply add mustard powder to a cooled down cooked version which contains the enzyme because it is from the same family as cruciferous veg). Since we do that with cruciferous veg (absorb sulforaphane), we might do so with dates, but as I said the research is not there to confirm it.
@Cool Breeze how did you come to this conclusion?
@Cool Breeze How did Dr. G hurt you so much xD?
Even the fresh ones are good! The store I work at sold them...ugh. Delicious!
"ugh" ?
Love dates - need to have more!
Thank you for all your hard work! Awesome website and RUclips channel!
I love dates, but I discontinued eating them after I attended a conference some time ago where an history professor claimed that in the ancient Egypt, people were very much affected by tooth cavity, which in some case eventually led to death (poor nutrition, without teeth). Apparently, according to this history professor, dates contain some kind of enzyme that causes teeth to rot. Has anyone ever heard anything about it?
Nope, you're the only one. Uuuuntilll NOW!
never but I know people who never ate a date in their life and have lots of rotten teeth!
Want some raw vegan pecan pie? Just eat some dates.
Poor rats, that’s so cruel...
Nicely said
Where to get natural one ?
Dates r Beaker's candy! Who want to go on a dates date with Beaker?....I'll show myself out
But, do dates improve health for a person eating a plant diet OR just average people?
Hi Dr. Is't great that dates are good for the colon but, for me, I get pain in the bowl area (sometimes) when I eat any kinds of sugar, like dates, and some fruits. What can be done to help this? I do take a probiotic and aloe vera. Thanks. K
It sounds like you have a fructose insensitivity, you should speak to your doctor about it
You may have a genetic mutation on the fructose metabolism pathway if you can't/find difficult eating fruit. Check the book "inheritance". Might be worth checking with doctor and do a genetic test
High oxalate content in dates??
Dear Mr. Greger! I became a raw foodist a year ago. My height is 170 cm, the weight was 68 kg, now I have only 55 kg and I just can’t gain weight. Maybe you can tell me what combinations of fruits and vegetables can help me? Thank you very much in advance.
Can over-consumption cause high potassium serum levels?
Prunes/dried plums are the best.
Why would ANYONE twist a testicle of any animal or human? That’s inhumane and it hurts me to hear this. I think medical science goes way too far sometimes. That was unnecessary! I wants to hear the benefits of eating dates, not how a scientist tortured a poor mouse. 😡
eating the best dates i’ve ever had while watching this lol
Bro I love your voice.. also the info is tops.
Is coconut sugar good?
Unfortunately, I get a red, painful rash if I have too many. This is annoying because I love dates. They are so delicious.
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.
I love this channel!
As medjool dates are almost 70 cal each that’s 490 cal for 7 dates. Does it work for smaller, lower cal. dates?
Brown smoothie 😂 Love your sense of humor and the wonderful information you share with the public.
I love this channel
I havent been here for a bit. Crikee the way of speech...its like that cartoon science guy from the Simpsons. Content seems good.
Can someone please explain the chart at the end. Around 4:28. We buy Majhool dates, are they not as effect as the other kinds? Thank you
I see so many RUclips cooking videos that use maple syrup! Whole foods FTW.
there is nothing whole in dried dates. It's refined food.
@@thewhite8uard if this is your thinking, go with fresh dates :) . Either way, they're both a lot healthier than alternatives. The proof is in the video.
@@Jadeontwowheels As I know date palms are cultivated in tropic areas of the world. There are no fresh dates where I live. Anyway any fruits are seasonal treat. Orangutans and bears use them to gain fat before scarce food season.
@@thewhite8uard The only thing missing is water. Just add water if you want to make date syrup. Much healthier than maple syrup, as the chart implied with the date sugar beating every other alternative. As Dr. G said in another video, date sugar is just ground up dates.
@@someguy2135 Sugar content would be the same no matter how much water you add. Besides raw dates contain more glucose and less fructose, dried dates are pure fructose. That's what happen in fruits, the more ripe fruit the more glucose turn into fructose, which is the most sweet and harmful part of sucrose.
What about glycation?
I love dates but poo and dates as a tea I don't think so I will just have my dates thanks, love the channel
Lol exactly how many go into my smoothie.
Full Time Vegan I too put seven in my smoothie everyday! It's the seven date club.
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 prefer dates on their own tbh. My dad has a friend who brings him dates from his country. Idk the name of these specific dates but they’re definitely not medjool. They’re a drier variety. I like them way better
I thought prunes did all of this but with less sugar?
Dates are life!!!
Rat testicles? Hey, that's nuts.
i understand nothing please what was that about twisting nuts in rats wtf.. I may just be dumb( English is my third language) but this is hard to follow
Wiolant SunGazer if English is your third language you are definitely not dumb 😊 it’s my first and I had to listen twice to try and take in information! I need a little summary that just says “ eat seven dates a day “ and I could cope with that!!!
@@lavenderrose6377 =)
I would want to share the nutritionfacts series with people but no one would watch it if it's this complicated to understand.
The series would be best if it was done in such a way that even a child would understand if " dates are good or bad for ya' " ( I don't mean there has to be ducks and frogs to talk about the facts xD )
Many of the videos are made/presented harder than they're and because of that it has less views than it could have. I am not disliking the video I am just perplexed, is there a reason Dr Greger has to do it this complicated to feel superior to us or is this just targeted for Doctors.. hmm
Wiolant SunGazer yes I’m the same!!! I adore him and all he does, but I struggle with the big words in the videos!!! His audio book is easier to follow, have you listened to it? Xx
@@lavenderrose6377
No I have not, I have watched every lecture from Brian Clement though and those Drs.( Pam Popper, Brenda Davis, Joel Fuhrman, Gabriel Cousens) and Nutritionists from TheRealTruthAboutHealth here on youtube. I actually began watching Dr.Sebi and John Rose some 2 years ago and now that there is scientific evidence of what they said is true makes it even more easier to be vegan and to spread the information.
3:58 --> Now THAT'S funny!
That pun was intended Dr. G
I find it disturbing that animals are abused like this. I like the work you do here Dr. Gregor but this is concerning.
Okay, seriously, this is the last time I'm ever going to be eating anything while watching one of these videos.
Thanks, Dr. G.! ;P
I love you Dr. Greger, but I just bought another box of 1200 Splenda packets from Costco. Besides, I don't remember Splenda getting a "red light." I believe it was a yellow light.
Omg those poor rats ☹️
