Dried Apples, Dates, Figs or Prunes for Cholesterol?
Show Description
Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org’s free newsletter to receive our fasting infographic that covers the latest research on the risks and benefits of different types of fasting: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe..
DESCRIPTION: A comparison of the cholesterol-lowering potential of four dried fruit—apples, dates, figs, and plums. This supports the extraordinary findings detailed in Dried Apples Versus Cholesterol (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dried-apples-versus-cholesterol/). More on dried fruit can be found in Better Than Goji Berries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/better-than-goji-berries/), Amla Versus Diabetes (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amla-versus-diabetes/), and To Snack or Not to Snack? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/to-snack-or-not-to-snack/) Those with asthma may want to choose dried fruits without the preservative sulfur dioxide (http://nutritionfacts.org/questions/sulfite-sensitivity-from-dried-fruits/)…
Though variety is important (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/apples-and-oranges-dietary-diversity/), apples are an excellent choice. See also Apples & Breast Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/apples-breast-cancer/) and The Healthiest Apple (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-healthiest-apple/). More on the sugar content of dates in Are Dates Good For You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-dates-good-for-you/), a recipe in Healthy Pumpkin Pie (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/healthy-pumpkin-pie-2/), and my favorite source here (http://nutritionfacts.org/questions/where-can-i-find-a-good-variety-of-dates/). Prunes may not help our cholesterol, but they may improve the health of our skin—see Beauty Is More Than Skin Deep (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/beauty-is-more-than-skin-deep/). That’s of course in addition to their customary regularity role, something I’m going to address in the next video Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/)..

Do Fruit & Nut Bars Cause Weight Gain?
Show Description
Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org’s free newsletter to receive our fasting infographic that covers the latest research on the risks and benefits of different types of fasting: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe..
DESCRIPTION: Despite the caloric density of both nuts and dried fruit, they do not appear to lead to the expected weight gain. The video documenting similar findings in nuts and nut butters is here: Nuts and Obesity: The Weight of Evidence (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-and-obesity-the-weight-of-evidence/) and the mechanisms are summarized in Solving the Mystery of the Missing Calories (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/solving-the-mystery-of-the-missing-calories/) and explored further in Testing the Pistachio Principle (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-pistachio-principle/), Testing the Dietary Compensation Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-dietary-compensation-theory/), Testing the Fat Burning Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-fat-burning-theory/), and Fat Burning Via Arginine (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fat-burning-via-arginine/)…
What’s the problem with eating added sugars? Besides all the empty calories, it can lead to the formation of excess uric acid in the body (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flesh-and-fructose/)…

(http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dried-apples-dates-figs-or-prunes-for-cholesterol/) and Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/).

DESCRIPTION: The average number of bowel movements a week is compared between those eating prunes, those taking a fiber supplement, and those eating a strictly plant-based diet. Who can forget the Bristol stool scale? Even if you’ve already seen it you may want a refresher: Bristol Stool Scale (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bristol-stool-scale/). And while we’re on the topic, here are some others on optimizing bowel function:

· Bowels of the Earth (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bowels-of-the-earth/).
· Greasy Orange Rectal Leakage (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/greasy-orange-rectal-leakage/).
· Diverticulosis & Nuts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diverticulosis-nuts/).
Prunes may also help improve the health of our skin—see Beauty Is More Than Skin Deep (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/beauty-is-more-than-skin-deep/)…
In general we should try to get our nutrients from whole food, not supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-dietary-supplements-may-be-more-than-a-waste-of-money/)…
See the previous video Dried Apples, Dates, Figs or Prunes for Cholesterol? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dried-apples-dates-figs-or-prunes-for-cholesterol/) for a comparison of prunes to other dried fruit in terms of cholesterol-lowering capacity. And if you’re worried dried fruit may be too calorically dense, the next video Do Fruit & Nut Bars Cause Weight Gain? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-fruit-nut-bars-cause-weight-gain/) should help put your mind at ease..

Dr. Bahram H. Arjmandi discusses how dried plums (prunes) may improve bone health
Show Description
Dr. Bahram H. Arjmandi, spokesperson for the California Dried Plum Board discusses the how dried plums (prunes), may improve bone health and help prevent osteoporosis. Just adding 8-10 dried plums (prunes) into your diet each day may help to prevent the loss of bone density that leads to higher risk of fractures later on. In fact, 100 grams per day of dried plums may even reverse the bone density loss associated with osteoporosis.

Show Description
Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, CSSD, LDN, Director of Sports Nutrition at University of Pittsburgh, who also works with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pittsburgh Pirates and Toronto Blue Jays, and the Pittsburgh ballet theater, explains the health benefits of eating dried plums. In addition to being satisfying and less than 100 calories per 4 to 5 dried plums, the soluble fiber contained within themmay lower cholesterol. Dried plums may prevent hardening of the arteries. Bonci also points out how the boron and vitamin K in dried plums contributes to healthy bones. How does one incorporate dried plums into their diet? Its naturally sweet flavors make it perfect for trail mix, salads and pilafs. Puréed dried plums can also serve as a fat replacement in many baked good recipes.
