From Nelli Bowles:
Did you know how healthy ice cream is? This is something that gets
reported periodically but I will report it now, since there’s a new
book: Eat Your Ice Cream: Six Simple Rules for a Long and Healthy Life,
by Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel. In 2016, researchers in the Netherlands and
at Harvard analyzed the available evidence on dairy and diabetes and
found that half a cup of ice cream daily was linked to a 19 percent
lower risk of diabetes. But researchers couldn’t handle the truth, as it
contradicts official dietary guidelines. It can’t be right, right? So
the truth was hidden from us. Countless ice cream opportunities,
deprived. A doctoral student named Andres Ardisson Korat later found the
same half-cup daily was linked to lower cardiovascular disease risk in
diabetics too. In fact, ice cream has a lower glycemic index than brown
rice. Anti–ice cream bigots have ice crimed you.
The ice cream ends up being healthier for you than whatever lab-rat protein bar you fell for.
