Obviously, it is in the summer that we buy the maximum amount of ice cream. This sweet delicacy is loved by adults and children, so shameless producers capitalize on our weakness. How to choose ice cream so that it does not harm your health?
Nowadays, it is very difficult to acquire something completely natural. Almost every product or product contains "improvers", preservatives, etc., which often should not be added at all. This situation is especially dangerous when choosing food, because it is they who will cause maximum harm to health if the manufacturer turns out to be unscrupulous.
The universal advice for an attentive consumer is to carefully read the text on the package. According to our legislation, the manufacturer is obliged to indicate the composition of the product, conditions and periods of storage, sale, calorie content, etc.
What can be in ice cream and what shouldn't be there?
Most ice cream packages are likely to contain carrageenan, locust bean gum, guar gum, carboxymethyl cellulose. Such and similar components are designed to create an airy consistency of the product, as well as increase the shelf life and sale. They cannot be called poisonous to humans, but if there is an opportunity not to eat them, it is better to use this opportunity.
You also need to pay attention to the main raw materials from which the ice cream is made. Ideally, if the delicacy is based only on sugar, cream and natural cow butter. If the manufacturer wanted to save money, then you can see milk whey, milk powder and even milk fat substitutes (vegetable fats) in the ice cream.
Which ice cream should you choose?
Look for ice cream that contains a minimum of the "newest" additions. Let the ice cream be expensive, but it is better to eat once the ice cream, which is the closest to the Soviet recipe, than to regularly litter the body with artificial cheap stuff.
