Everyone ♥s ICE-CREAM!! I scream, You scream, ICE-CREAM!!

The weather recently has been superbly HOT. There is nothing that comes to mind better to cool things down than some ice-cream! I like to eat ice-cream. Well, who doesn't like it right? ;) Even babies enjoy eating ice-cream.

Ice-creams tend to make us happier when we are consuming it. It is always the first choice among all the desserts. 


In this fast world, consumers are now consuming copious quantities of a chemical substitute falsely labelled as ice cream. The masses are being slowly poisoned by a concoction of anti-freeze, nitrates, lice killers, leather cleaners, rubber cement solvents and other scary combinations served up by uncaring mega corporations. At last count, there are over 1375 different flavorings, stabilizers, colors, and emulsifiers used in the manufacture of commercial ice cream.

Some of the artificial flavours are potent poisons which are powerful enough to cause liver, kidney, and heart disease, asthma attacks, allergic reactions, hay-fever, hyper activity and more. Nowadays, there are many manufacturers who use artificial flavouring in ice-cream because they are cheap.

For example, strawberry flavouring is known as benzyl acetate. It is a synthetic chemical which tastes like strawberry. Benzyl acetate is a nitrate solvent which is extremely dangerous and causes nausea and diarrhoea.  The chemical used to replace the nut flavours is butraldehyde, one of the ingredients in rubber cement.

Stabilizers make ice cream smooth; and emulsifiers make it stiff, so it can retain air. For example, propylene glycol which is also used in antifreeze, glycerin, sodium carboxyl methylcellulose, monoglycerides, diglycerides, disodium phosphates, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, polysorbate 80, and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.

Ice creams also have products which contains animal source ingredient known as gelatin that is made by boiling tissue, bones and skin of cows or pigs. A vegetarian might be unintentionally to eat it.

Ice cream can be a delicious way to get healthy fat, calcium, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals (if using real raw cream, egg yolks, and pure maple syrup) into children that are sometimes not big milk drinkers. Making ice cream on our is relatively simple with an electric ice cream maker.

Even if we don't have the time, or desire, to make our own ice cream, reach for the best high quality ice cream we can. Look for the ones that use simple, wholesome ingredients (cream as a first ingredient is a good sign). The cost may be a bit more, but can't beat the taste.

And stop worrying about the fat content; it's some of those dubious vegetable oils should be concerned about. Next time, fore go the antifreeze, oil paint, leather cleaner, and lice killer for something that resembles food. Food is supposed to taste good, just keep it simple and healthy!
