Dates are the fruit of the date palm tree and are grown primarily in dry, arid regions, such as the Middle East and parts of California. One of the main reasons people avoid eating dates is the belief that they will raise their blood sugar levels, but studies have shown that belief to be erroneous. The study shows that while dates contain high amounts of natural sugars, they are actually a low glycemic index food and did not significantly raise blood sugar levels after they were eaten.
