Hello Everyone!
Like most desserts, ice cream does not provide large amounts of protein, minerals or vitamins. Most of the calories in ice cream come from sugar and saturated fat, both of which should be eaten in limited quantities. The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion recommends that calories from saturated fat comprise less than 10 percent of the total calories in the diet.
Sugar foods, like soda, candy, ice cream and cookies, can harm your immune system and make it more difficult for your white blood cells to keep you well. Eating 8 tbsp. of sugar or more each day will reduce the function of your white blood cells by about 40 percent, AskDr.Sears.com reports. Two sodas per day is equivalent to about 8 tbsp. This suppresses the ability for your immune system to identify illness-causing germs or bacteria so they can be eliminated before you get sick.
