    Hi 
    Long time reader first time blogger !LOL
    i think I know the answer to this question, but any way, where abouts on the scale do fresh dates come, I have just discovered these sweet little treats, and i know you are going to say NO GOOD !
    but just to be sure before I banish them from my life ?

    Fresh fruit is fresh fruit, there may be differences, but none big enough to break the basic rule, which is to say, you can have some, but not too much.

    Hi Sloane, 

    Dates are extremely high in fructose. I love dates, but googled them yesterday and nearly dropped my iPad in shock. I would stick to pears, kiwi fruit and other fruits that are high in fibre with less fructose content, as the fibre counteracts the fructose to some degree.

    Cheers Beryl.
