I was raised to believe that "sugar" is the exact reason why it is recommended to break one's fast with dates.

Someone could verify this better, but from what I learned, after a long day of fasting, one's sugar level goes down. So before attacking the body with heavy food, one should attempt to raise the sugar level by eating dates.
