Healthy Ice Cream
With all the talk about ice cream and fast food, someone is finally beginning to think about ways to have the foods we like without having a detrimental effect on our health. So much of the time we see fruit juices pumped full of vitamins and minerals, yet the effect of the sugar eradicates the positive effects of the drinks. But now someone has the idea to put fish oil in ice cream to fortify it with the fatty acids that are lacking in our diets.
It's not on the shelves yet, but there is a researcher who has proposed a tangy orange sherbet with reduced-fat fish oil. Marvin Rudolph, a food technologist, recently presented the ice cream at the Institute of Food Technologists Expo and is pitching it to the dairy industry.
Why do we like ice cream? It has a creamy, sweet, sinful taste--but by adding essential nutrients without disturbing the taste, ice cream lovers can have their ice cream and maintain their health.
