@thesimpledate: Yes dates contain sugars like glucose and fructose. But that does not put dates in the same category of refined sugar - which has been stripped of anything meaningful, leaving behind just sweetness. The sugar in dates in cloaked in a web of fiber, minerals and antioxidants. That is exactly why metabolically, the sugar from dates behaves entirely different than straight up refined sugar. Steady energy, better digestion, and a happier gut. That’s not an unremarkable difference. That’s an entire reason to reconsider your sugar source. #norefinedsugar #datesfruit #datesweetened #healthychocolate #sugaralternative
