Ice-cream contains saturated
fats, which contributes to increase in cholesterol levels. Some ice-creams
contain eggs, so they contain cholesterol; this increases blood cholesterol
levels in the human’s body. According to the Louisiana State University
Agricultural Centre website, 48 percent of ice cream's calories are derived
from fat, while the Parent Dish website add that even half a cup of ice cream
can contain as much as 20 grams of fat. If eaten on regular basis people can
put on weight, this may lead to obesity and that results in many serious
diseases e.g. coronary heart disease (CHD). The sugar content can vary slightly
between brands and flavours of ice cream. On average, two scoops, or about 1
cup, of regular ice cream provides about 28 grams of sugar as shown in the
picture.
