Evidence from animals and humans suggest that date consumption can decrease blood glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides and increase HDL. The proposed mechanisms to explain these observations are delayed gastric emptying, decreased intestinal absorption of glucose, inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, and increased glucose entry to skeletal muscle. Dates also promote the abundance of beneficial gut microbiota that plays an important role in inflammation and oxygen free radicals suppression. Therefore, dates can be consumed by patients with diabetes and dyslipidemia to reduce their blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides. The abundance of non-pathogenic endophytes is promising for producing antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidants that play important roles in disease prevention and treatment. Research focusing on the role of date consumption in diabetes prevention and its effects on gut microbiota diversity is suggested.
Naked Bites sound great. But dates objectively aren't "rich in fiber." Directly from the Nutrition Facts on a package of mejdool dates: Two dates are 40g total, with 27g of sugar and 3g of fiber. If you're using date syrup, it has zero fiber. There's *a lot* of marketing nonsense in CPG these days!
It really is the best cinnamon!!
Thanks for sharing two approachable products for everyday eating.
