Scoop! Healthy ice-cream

Topics: Health Issues

Can you keep on licking without feeling guilty? Yes says Nick Wyke, but choose the good stuff with lots of fruit and top quality ingredients.

Ice-cream need no longer be synonymous with sinful eating. In a study last year, 83 per cent of a panel of European nutritionists agreed that "tempting" foods, such as ice-cream, can help you to maintain a long-term healthy diet. It concluded that not only is ice-cream a good source of protein and the essential minerals calcium and phosphorus, both vital for healthy bones and teeth, but those who add variety and enjoyment to their diet are more likely to stick to healthy eating than those who rigidly exclude treats.

(Hint - you still can't take in more calories than you would with a diet without ice cream. If you do, you'll soon SEE the extra calories.)
