With the onset of warm and even hot days, interest in ice cream among the population increases.

And if in the case of sweet soda everything is absolutely clear, then ice cream leaves some doubts. After all, on the one hand it is only milk, and on the other – sugar, fats and calories.

Let's try to figure out in which cases ice cream can be harmful to health.

It's not all that bad

Foreign nutritionists believe that, despite the abundance of fats, sugar and overall caloric content, ice cream can be part of the diet.

1. In addition to positive emotions, natural ice cream is a source of vitamin A and B12, as well as calcium and magnesium. Not bad already.

2. Compared to other desserts, ice cream is not as harmful as other sugar-containing desserts, and all thanks to the portion of protein.

3. Due to the content of vitamin A, ice cream becomes useful for the eyes, immunity, and cream and milk also contain choline, which is necessary for the brain and metabolism.

Daily norm

It's more complicated here. You need to start from the diet as a whole.

Those who consume a lot of sugar need to think about proper nutrition, and not about how many sweet desserts to eat per day.

In other cases, nutritionists' recommendations range from 3 servings of ice cream per week to ½ cup of cold dessert per day.
