1. Date is harmful and causes obesity because of its sugar!
This is a totally wrong belief because dates contain only 68% sugar, while other carbohydrates are 100% sugar. Dates also help balance sugar level because their fiber prevents the sugar from raising the level of insulin in the bloodstream.
