can you say anything about the comparison of dried fruit vs not dried/fresh? I figured the phytonutrients and fibers should be still there or is the drying process in general a degration of the good things?

I want to tell everyone that potatoes, fruit, and starch doesnt spike blood sugar:) I tested it with myself and my blood levels remained even in the perfect range of fasting glucose levels. However maybe it can vary from individual to individual. So far I tested several fruits, sweet and plane potatoes, rice crackers with peanut butter (peanut butter may have something to do with it)

Nice to hear being a vegan date eater (up to and over 1kg a day during heavy training).

Eat them all because they are yummy. :P

I agree 100%...you said it like I would say it...

I do enjoy some good dates. They are great for snacks and baking. I never really cared for prunes, though, so I'll take apples over prunes almost any day.

Probably more important is the atherogenic protein, Neu5gc.

Prunes have been said to aid in lowering osteoporosis in post menopausal women though. Any videos on that?

I'm trying all the plant based tricks to lower my cholesterol since I recently scored a 240 on my blood work with a junk food vegan diet. Partly because I'm on a medication known to raise cholesterol.

this study was based on lowering cholesterol but what happens to the rest of the body? nothing or

cholesterol is very important for health and physiological functions...it just needs to be in a safe balance.

Did these apple rings have the skins on?

The theme in these lectures: Cholesterol is bad for you. But everyone else is saying that's not really a problem. So!?

[houndjog]

I don't understand why "allopathic" doctors think cholesterol is so bad? I eat 5 egg yolks a day and feel perfectly well!

[mevsikov]

lmao @ everyone that thinks that dietary cholesterol is important.

[HolisticHabits]

Thats only your opinion not your experience. You're parroting what you heard someone say!
