Had one spoon of ice-cream and have million chances to have Diabetes (Sharifa)


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.
