A member asked:

Does eating dried date is healthy or they have added sugar

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Dates are ok: Dates are naturally sweet and probably don't have added sugar when dried. Dried cranberries almost always have added sugar. In the U.S., the package labels are pretty reliable, so a package that lists sugar, grape juice, or other fruit juices as an ingredient means there is added sugar. Remember that eating too much dried fruit is not healthy, because all fruits have natural sugar.

Dates : Are very rich in sugars and are sticky and adhere to the tooth surfaces readily. As delicious as they are, eat them sparingly and make sure you brush thoroughly after eating them. Hope this helps.
