Description
Abdulmalik Alhuwaymil and colleagues formulate, in a 2026 food study, low-calorie date snacks padded with psyllium or oat fiber. They built them for regions where dates are beloved but blood sugar control is a growing worry. They profiled the snacks' nutrition and then tested blood sugar responses in volunteers.
Bars mixing two date pastes with nuts carried fiber at set levels up to ten percent. Fiber-rich versions packed up to 17.55 percent fiber against 7.86 percent in the plain control, with fewer available carbs and less energy per bite, plus strong antioxidant readings. In 20 healthy adults and 20 patients with type 2 diabetes, the favored fiber bars blunted post-meal glucose climbs, with the psyllium version ahead. Sweet snacks, they show, can be redesigned, not just banned.
