Risks & side effects
No cited risks or side-effect notes on file yet.
Not medical advice. Published recipe penalties (if any) are on Methods — not a clinical severity scale.
Notes
GI left empty: no ISO-style assay on milled date sugar powder in the Sydney GI database. Whole-date cultivar GIs in Atkinson / clinical studies commonly fall ~31–55 (sometimes higher); marketing “45–50 for date sugar” is not pinned as a powder cell.
Empty-over-invention. Cultivar and moisture shift whole-fruit GI; powder is not automatically identical.

Notes explain what the open axis or risk labels alone can miss — not medical advice.
Empty cells mean we do not yet have a method-cited source. Rank on the guide tables is the open-rule champion — not medical advice.
