Eating dates in moderation can contribute to many health benefits, such as protecting against damage to cells from free radicals, helping preventing a stroke, coronary heart disease and the development of colon, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic cancers.
The Psychological Evaluation. To determine whether patients are mentally fit for bariatric surgery, all bariatric surgery patients undergo a psychological evaluation.

In murder cases we often hear a defendant plead âinsanity,â and mental evaluation is ordered to assess a defendantâs ability to withstand trial. In divorce and child custody cases, one or both parents might be ordered to undergo mental health evaluation to assess their suitability for child custody, or even visitation. Even in animal hoarding cases, psych evaluations are sometimes ordered by the Court. But mental illness does not occur only in criminal defendants, or when children and/or animals are involved.
